Product Information

Ensure surfaces are in suitable condition for painting and clean, dry, free from wax, grease of penetrating substances and in sound condition. If previously painted, remove loose or flaking paint. Fill any holes/imperfections with a suitable filler. Tertiary colours: Created by mixing a primary and secondary colour – for example add red to the green you made to get brown.

Understand that a little goes a very long way. The first coat should be a thin, light coat of paint. Do NOT over dip! You want a small amount of paint on your brush. Paint shouldn’t be dripping off your brush all over the place. Although Vintro Chalk Paint is very durable we would recommend finishing with Vintro Extreme Lacquer for use in kitchens, bathrooms and outdoors. Curing time is up to 2-3 weeks in normal conditions. Treat the newly painted surface with care until then.

When using your chalk paint, use a brush to firstly fill-in any edges and small, detailed areas, followed by a velour roller to paint a smooth coat across the larger areas of the item. Some chalk paint only requires one coat, but again this varies depending upon the paint and the item painted. What is Chalk Paint? Protective waxing or a sealer coat of polyurethane can extend the life of chalk paint. Experts recommend sealing chalk paint finishes with a protective wax to prevent wear and tear, especially in high-traffic areas or high-touch surfaces. For peace of mind, brands like Rust-Oleum and others provide their own protective top coats designed for use with their chalk paint. The best chalk paint is Rust-Oleum Ultra Matte Interior Chalked Paint. With outstanding adherence and durability, this paint is great for a wide variety of surfaces. For small craft projects where you don't want a lot of leftover paint, we recommend FolkArt Home Decor Chalk Paint, which comes in bottles as small as 2 ounces and costs just about a dollar an ounce.
