FolkArt Home Decor Water Based Chalk Furniture & Craft Paint in Assorted Colors, 8 ounce, Imperial

This is everything I hoped the color would be. It looked quite pink in my monitor settings, but I took a chance anyway. It is a nice dusty purple with hints of greige. Neutral enough to go well with most other purples. This is a super-matte chalk paint with good coverage that is easy to work with and distresses well. I couldn't beat the price either.

So easy to paint with this paint ...I love it.. dries so fast I was able to do two coats and seal it in less than two hours.. coverage was great two coats was plenty..almost no smell at all and it's the easiest paint to clean up. The color was exactly what I was looking for.

This is a very good value brand chalk paint. Nice color saturation, good thick texture, easy to brush on, lots of color choices. Can't beat the price!

This paint covered great abd the color was perfect.

So the color is really pretty, it’s very thick, dries pretty quickly, the size of the bottle is big, it seems very durable, it blends good and the varieties available are ones I’ll be looking into. The issue I have is that the bottle looks very old and has been sitting around in the warehouse for who knows how long. It still works really good though. It only took 2 coats to cover the wood boxes I painted. I would consider buying again because the price is good too for the amount of paint you’re getting. Would recommend.

I love this color! I recently painted my living room wall navy and needed a great color for side tables to stand out. I purchased a nice pair of side tables from Craigslist for $30 and was excited to DIY something great. This colors was perfect to accent my navy walls and have the old, simple side tables pop. I've never used chalk paint before, and I has no intention of distressing this, I was just excited not to have to sand/prime furniture before painting. There are a lot of tutorials and tips available on chalk painting furniture, and I was able to make my old side table new again!First thing I've learnt about chalk paint is that it's incredibly easy to use, no primer and sanding saves you a lot of time and energy. The paint is not waxy/sandy as you might imagine "chalky" being, instead it's smooth and very easy to roll on or paint with. Chalk paints are also very forgiving, I tried to stick to keeping my brush strokes straight and in one direction, but it does get hard in tight spots, and yet, after drying and adding finishing wax, it's smooth and even. This is also a great value for me, I was able to paint both side tables (3' tall, 25" wide and 16" in depth) with the entire bottle. I wasn't able to paint the complete inside with this color, but I always intended to make the inside white, so it wasn't very disappointing to me.After my experience using chalk paints for the first time, I'm completely hooked on chalk paints, I doubt I'd go back to normal paints for my furniture DIYs. This chalk paint is a great value at under $10, and I definitely recommend it if this is your first time chalk painting. You're in good hands with this chalk paint, and this particular color looks better on my furniture than I could have ever hoped for. I'll be buying other colors soon.

I LOVED USING THIS STUFF. So obviously I’m not done with my projects but I was too excited to share. So I got the mustard yellow color and it seriously is amazing. The color is spot on to what I wanted, I will say someone commented it looked orange which it TOTALLY did but I promise once it dries down it’s a gorgeous yellow. I also think it matters what color is underneath. For example, I used it on a wooden base and it definitely affected the end result color compared to the white piece of furniture I also painted. I will say a paint brush is not the best application tool for large surfaces. I would use it for nooks and crannies only if using on furniture. I bought a foam roller and a mini paint tray ($8) from Lowes and the application was VERY VERY smooth from there. A little goes a long way and I would recommend going over multiple times with multiple thin coats for best results. I wanted a smooth opaque surface so that’s what is working best for me currently. I will say I got really impatient on the first piece of furniture I used the paint on and I paid for it. Literally. I used an entire 8 oz on a very small bookshelf for my daughter and <8oz on a huge drawer bc I read the instructions. The instructions were to leave the paint to dry for two hours between coats and it truly made all the difference and made the paint go MUCH further then. I will say I have purchased things with this medium before and I was NOT impressed with the longevity of the product and scratch resistance, so I am going to be sealing with the wax product that folkart sells in the same chalk paint line. I will let everyone know how that goes!!! It isn’t bad necessarily but you do have to be more strict about utilizing coasters and avoiding moisture and things of that nature. Happy crafting!

Love how fast this dries and how you don’t need to sand first . It is not messy or smelly
