While most of us know about chalk painting... painting your furniture and giving it a brand new look, chalk painting is a haven for DIY lovers. It’s not about painting, extreme sanding, or priming, but you can get straight into the fun part!
Chalk painting is exactly what it sounds like.
Chalk paint is a hit with DIYers and people who refurbish and refinish old furniture.
Not sure if your dresser has an oil- or latex-based finish?
Don't know if it's stain, lacquer, shellac or polyurethane?
Doesn't matter.
Chalk paint covers it all without the aggravating prep work.
Of course, using chalk paint isn’t going to help if you are looking for a professionally sound paint finish, but that's not what DIY painters look for and are all passionate about.
Put away the sandpaper and primer.
One of the biggest benefits of chalk painting and what has created a lot of the product buzz, is that you can skip the time-consuming, unglamorous part of painting—the prep work.
Typically, all you need is a clean surface. This means that instead of sanding, stripping, and priming, you merely have to wipe the surface clean and the paint will adhere.
