Rust-Oleum Chalked Paint

Firstly, I’ve been experimenting quite a bit with chalk finish paint to refresh some outdoor furniture before hosting a baby shower. I have found Rustoleum’s Chalked line of spray paint to have the best quality, appearance, and overall texture compared to most other paints. The fact that it’s offered in a spray paint form also makes it less messy and fairly more hassle-free than most all of the other options available also.I used the Blush Pink shade to refinish this old little side table I use for plants. The table was originally finished in a dark red cherry wood tone but appears to be made from composite materials as it’s very lightweight and the wood finish could be sanded off easily.I cleaned the table off and then very lightly sanded the shiny sheen off of it where I could, without being too worried about getting it all off and without removing the cherry wood tones. I then sprayed it with three light coats of the paint. If there where any drips or accidentally thick spots of the paint, I hit them with a foam mini paint roller immediately after spraying to incorporate them better. Drying time was very quick- it only took 10-15 mins for each light coat to be dry to the touch, but I still gave each coat about an hour total outside in 77 degree sunshine to dry (probably unnecessary though). I’m ordering the chalked top matte coat to finish off the piece and will probably hit it it with a sealer too before putting it back outside.However, at this point, I’m very happy with the results! I wanted a subtle shade of pink but was mostly shooting for any kind of boho-looking light-colored chalk finish so I was flexible. This paint goes on very stark white-looking, but then seems to settle into a light pink shade after drying out fully.It has great coverage, though I did use one whole can on this one table. Still worth the $10 for the end result. Overall, I’d definitely recommend this product!

Nice paint I usually make my own chalk paint with plaster of paris, but I was short on time so I thought I would just purchase it this time. This paint worked out great It did take 3 coats but I was painting over black paint, it turned out very nice. Would definitely purchase again. Easy to use and looks great.

I love this paint and can’t believe it’s my first time using it. I followed the directions exactly as written and it was extremely easy to work with. I used a flat synthetic brush and applied the paint in long even strokes. The piece is textured and I wanted to ensure good coverage so I applied two coats. I accidentally dripped paint on the floor and inside the drawers but it cleaned right off with water. Once the piece dried completely, I applied two coats of the matte topcoat for chalk paint. It looks great.

I bought this in white to brighten up my dining room table set. I'm no stranger to chalk painting furniture, but this is the first time using Rustoleum. My typical brands have skyrocketed in price, but I have to say, as the cheapest option available at the time of purchase ($.60/oz), I am not disappointed! 2-3 coats was necessary for complete coverage on dark wood using a paint prush, as I anticipated despite "one coat coverage" advertisement (we all know that's never true on dramatic color changes). I lightly sanded the varnish prior to painting as a precaution, but I probably could have skipped that step. The paint adhered nicely and dried with minimal paint strokes. Virtually orderless as far as paint goes, and super easy to work with. The color is exactly what I expected: a lovely fresh clean white, easy to love! Unfortunately, it does not match my "vintage white" furniture in the room as well as I'd like, so I'll be picking up a different brand to do a final coat (though I'm sure house guests would never notice). Then I will apply some wax to protect it. All in all, yes, I fully recommend this paint if you can find it in the color you want! I've included the before and after of my table.

I almost went with the cheaper Re-tique brand, especially bc I was buying two cans. I had initially wanted to fully paint some light wood furniture we were given for a recent move, white. Bc I didn't want to fully cheap out and end up with nasty paint that wore down quickly, I went w this Rust-o-leum brand. Upon getting the furniture, It looks so good the color is is, that I may not paint it anymore. I still WANT to, but it looks so decent that I know it won't be worth the effort involved just to make it white, even if I still want to. So what to do now with two cans of chalk paint. I opened one can and went around the new place and touched up trim and molding and window ledges. It was perfect. So easy to use and dries so fast. I also ended purchasing two kitchen stool chairs from LetGo and they were a really bold cherry wood. The color did not go with anything in the apartment at all. Cue chalk paint. They were such a deep serious color that I needed to do two coats. One coat was "ok" but it was very obvious they were painted and strike marks were everywhere. I could have left them if that was the look was going for, but it really wasn't. So I had to bite the bullet and do another coat on both. They came out great. But I still have only used half of one can. I don't know what the hell I will use another can for. I may return it. Overall, this was a great chalk paint option and while I didn't use it for my initial intention, it still functioned perfectly for spur of the moment stuff in its place. I can't speak to its durability how long it lasts just yet, but I did put a layer of wood sealer on the chairs. I was going to do wax, but figured no one would want to be sitting on sticky wax. This was a great product!

Great products! The quality is excellent, exactly as described, and everything arrived in perfect condition. I’m very satisfied with my purchase and would definitely recommend to others.

Good coverage white spray paint. Top quality. Dries quickly
