Try Three of Them
A painted card in your hand is worth more than a photo on a screen. A sample costs less than the jar you would have returned.
Live with it
One Week on the Furniture
Tape the cards where the paint will go. Look at them in the morning, in the evening, under the lamp. A colour is judged in your light, not in ours.
Paint
The Jar, Then the Finish
One or two coats depending on the shade, then a sealer or a balm depending on how the piece is used. The furniture goes back in place the next day.
One Colour, Three Finishes
The shade does not change from one finish to the next. What changes is the light it gives back and the way the surface cleans up.
Matte
0 = dead flat, 100 = full gloss
Absorbs light and forgives a surface that has lived. It is the default finish of chalk paint.
Best for Dressers, headboards, woodwork, accent walls
Not for Countertops and shelves wiped down every day
Satin
0 = dead flat, 100 = full gloss
A slight sheen, and above all a surface that washes with one pass of a damp cloth.
Best for Cabinet doors, kitchen tables, bathrooms
Not for Heavily marked wood: the sheen underlines the dips
Gloss
0 = dead flat, 100 = full gloss
Gives light back and takes knocks. The finish for a piece of furniture used every day.
Best for Entryway furniture, children’s furniture, dark rooms
Not for Large flat surfaces that are poorly prepared
The sheen level is indicative: it varies slightly with the shade and the number of coats.
Order the Three You Cannot Decide Between
Painted samples, in the real finish, not printed. They leave Québec in an envelope and arrive with the steps to follow.
-
The colour is exactly the one we were hoping for, and a single coat covered the old wall.
-
I ordered four samples, taped them to the wall for a week, and chose the one I had ruled out on screen.
-
Applied with a brush, almost no smell, and the kitchen was usable that same evening.
Frequently asked questions
-
Do I Need to Sand or Strip Before Painting?
In most cases, no. Cleaning with a mild soap and a good degreasing are enough. Very glossy or already varnished surfaces benefit from a light scuff, nothing more.
-
What Surfaces Does the Paint Hold On?
Wood, melamine, laminate, metal, plaster, ceramic and even fabric. If you are unsure about a specific material, write to us before ordering.
-
How Many Coats, and How Long to Dry?
One or two coats depending on the shade. Allow about two hours before recoating, and let the piece cure for a few days before putting it to work.
-
Do I Really Have to Protect the Finish?
On a decorative piece, it is not required. On anything that is touched, wiped or washed, a sealer or a balm clearly extends the life of the finish.
-
What Exactly Is a Sample?
A card painted by hand in the real finish, not a print. You set it on the furniture or the wall and watch it live for a few days before ordering the jar.
