< Mother Earth Paints Chalk Enhanced Paint Raven This chalk paint was thinner than all the other paints, except for Miss Mustard Seed, but still covered very well. I used it on the spindles and feet of this wood table as an accent to the gray top and shelf. One coat was plenty — even over a stained wood surface that had not been sanded at all. It seemed to grab the surface really well and give nice, even coverage with minimal fuss!
< Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Duck Egg I used this to spruce up a piece of old
fencing I found during the Prairie Village bulky item pickup weekend. The piece is going to eventually find a home in the new garden I’m planting. It’s just raw, weath- ered wood planks, but the chalk paint worked really well to color the wood without completely absorbing into the wood and losing vibrancy. I love the muted hue of blue and wanted to find more things that needed this color in my home as it’s so easy to apply and goes on smoothly. Since the piece I painted is going outdoors, there was no need for any fancy finishing. The chalk paint was enough on its own to give it a fresh new look.
^ American Paint Company Clay/Chalk/ Mineral Base Paint Freedom Road I used this paint on both a painted and stained wood finish. It covered both very well and had a nice, thick consistency that allowed me to get by with only one coat! Saving time and the hassle of waiting for multiple coats to dry is always a plus in my opinion – so I loved this paint for the quick use and efficiency aspect.
