What is Chalk-Based Paint?
Chalk based paint is a paint formula made using real liquid chalk. Thanks to its coverage, you can often skip prep work like sanding, priming or stripping, depending on the project of course. Chalk-Based furniture paint can be applied to a variety of textures, but be aware that metallic and shiny surfaces require additional steps (oil-based primer).
Chalk Paint is creamier, smoother and less runny than standard traditional paint. You often only need 1 or 2 coats to cover your furniture. With its thick, buttercream-like texture, chalk paint also helps minimize and cover small nicks or dents in your furniture. Plus, it won’t drip or run like other paints, making it the top choice for DIY projects.
Why use it?
– Ecological and responsible
First of all, Colorantic chalk type paints, with a chalky matte finish, are in no way toxic. They have no lead content and the added dyes contain only a tiny amount of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). This fully meets Health Canada government standards. In addition, our containers are reusable and our paint is odorless.
– Vintage antique look
With chalk-based paint you can give a vintage look to your restoration projects. The matte effect is very trendy and allows you to create a unique style. We have several types of finish such as Colorantic wax which gives an antique effect. It also helps to add depth and highlight certain details.
