As we mentioned earlier, Colorantic chalk-based paint can be used on multiple surfaces. If you have other types of surfaces like fabric, plastic, melamine, metal or leather, our high quality chalk based paint works great. In some cases you will need a primer to prepare the surface for best results.<\/p>\n We recommend applying an oil-based primer before adding Colorantic\u2122 chalk-based paint and we recommend applying Colorantic\u2122 topcoat after painting. This will increase the life of your furniture!<\/p>\n \n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/colorantic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/2-5.png” alt=”The arrival of spring” title_text=”refresh your home” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”57%” max_width=”64%” module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”45px||35px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n In order to give a youthful air to your surroundings for the spring and summer season, just use Colorantic products.

Little by little your ideas will become reality and you will be very proud of it.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n As mentioned earlier, our chalk-based paint requires very little preparation. However, it is essential to prepare your furniture and\/or any other object very well before starting your work.<\/p>\n To remove chipped paint and\/or rust, simply use our two (2) grit sanding block or a wire brush. It may be necessary to use an electric sandblaster as well.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It is essential to do a very good cleaning before you start painting. Spray the Colorantic cleaner & varnish remover, let it sit for 30 minutes. It is very important to rinse well with hot water two (2) times to remove all residue and allow the paint to adhere well. We suggest that you scratch the surfaces by sanding very lightly, which will allow the primer or paint to adhere very well.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/colorantic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/3-4.png” alt=”spring and summer” title_text=”Colorantic products” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”68%” max_width=”83%” module_alignment=”center” min_height=”413px” height=”235px” max_height=”986px” custom_margin=”36px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”37px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n If necessary, now is the time to apply the primer.<\/p>\n Once the primer is completely dry, you are now at the most pleasant stage of upgrading, that of applying the paint. To do this, we suggest our velvet finish foam brushes and\/or rollers. If necessary, you can soon apply a second coat of paint since it dries quickly. If you want a softer finish, you can sand very lightly between coats.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Once the paint is finished, you can sand in different places to give an aged look. I suggest you choose strategic places where wear and tear would naturally occur. Our two (2) grain sanding block is the ideal accessory for this operation.<\/p>\n Once you are done painting, we suggest that you protect your paint so that your work is very durable. Three choices of finish are available to you: wax, matte varnish (+\/- 10% shine) or clear glaze, translucent window (+\/- 35% shine)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/colorantic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/3-3.png” alt=”ideas and simple solutions” title_text=”DIY home” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”68%” max_width=”83%” module_alignment=”center” min_height=”413px” height=”235px” max_height=”986px” custom_margin=”||50px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n You can achieve a wide variety of effects using Colorantic chalk-based paint.
