Description
Performance and Flexibility for Your Creative Projects
Optimal Coverage for Large Surfaces
The Colorantic 55 mm oval natural silk brush is designed for those who want to combine speed and quality. Thanks to its wide oval head, it covers large surfaces such as buffets, tables, or wardrobes in record time. The natural silk bristles, known for their ideal porosity, hold a generous amount of paint, ensuring a smooth and continuous application without constant reloading.
Its sturdy structure also makes it an excellent tool for applying glazes. The oval shape allows you to easily work transparent effects and textured finishes, adding depth and unique character to your furniture pieces.
A Powerful Tool for Fabric Painting
One of the key strengths of this 55 mm brush is its ability to work on textiles. If you're looking to refresh an armchair or fabric accessory, the natural bristles help push chalk paint into the fibres, improving flexibility and durability after drying.
- Highly Efficient: Wide coverage reduces strokes and visible lines
- Natural Flexibility: Adapts to wood, mouldings, and fabric textures with ease
- Durable Construction: Strong ferrule and balanced handle designed for intensive use and comfortable grip
Care Tips for Long-Lasting Performance
To maintain the exceptional quality of the natural silk bristles, proper care is essential. After painting or glazing, wash the brush with mild soap and lukewarm water until the water runs clear. To preserve its oval shape, hang the brush by the handle to dry.

It Grips Without Sanding
On previously painted or varnished wood, scuffing with an abrasive pad is enough. Full sanding is only needed if the old finish is flaking.
Two Coats in One Day
About an hour between coats at room temperature. A piece started in the morning is back together by evening.
Water-Based, from Start to Finish
Brushes, rollers and spills clean up with warm water. No solvents, and almost no odour after a few hours.

How Much Paint for Your Surface?
Coverage depends first on what you’re painting. Here’s what one litre covers in practice, depending on the surface and how it’s prepared.
Bare Wood
- Coverage
- 9 m² per litre
- Coats
- 2 coats
- Preparation
- Sand with 180 grit, dust off, prime tannin-rich woods.
Bare wood soaks up the first coat. Plan on two coats and lower coverage than on other surfaces.
Previously Painted or Varnished Wood
- Coverage
- 12 m² per litre
- Coats
- 2 coats
- Preparation
- Degrease, scuff with an abrasive pad, wipe dry.
On a surface that’s already sealed, the paint stays on top: that’s where coverage is at its best.
Interior Walls
- Coverage
- 11 m² per litre
- Coats
- 2 coats
- Preparation
- Wash, fill, let dry completely.
A matte wall repainted in a similar tone may need only one coat.
Melamine, Laminate and Metal
- Coverage
- 10 m² per litre
- Coats
- 2 coats
- Preparation
- Degrease with alcohol, then a bonding primer — no exceptions.
It’s the one step you can’t skip: without a bonding primer, the paint chips at the first knock.
The Questions We Get Asked
-
Do I need to sand before painting?
Rarely. On previously painted or varnished wood, scuffing with an abrasive pad is enough to open up the surface. Full sanding is only needed if the old finish is blistering or flaking.
-
How many coats should I plan for?
Two, in the vast majority of cases. One is enough to refresh a similar shade; plan on three when a dark blue or red has to disappear under a white.
-
Is a primer necessary?
On wood, plaster and drywall, no. On melamine, laminate and metal, yes: a bonding primer, otherwise nothing holds for long.
-
Can a painted surface be washed?
Once protected with wax or varnish, yes: a damp cloth and mild soap. Chalk paint left bare stays porous and stains.
-
How long should I wait between coats?
About an hour at room temperature. Wait longer if the air is humid: the coat must be dry all the way through, not just to the touch.
