5.0 out of 5 stars No smell and goes on perfectly! Can’t see brushstrokes it’s perfectly matte!
Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2020
Obsessed with this. First of all no chemical smell which is great because I don’t want my family breathing chemicals ink. I painted inside and it has ZERO chemical smell or smell at all. It went on effortlessly! I used a special brush I borrowed from a friend, the Annie Sloan brush, and used it with this paint and it dried so perfectly even you couldn’t even see the strokes. It looks professionally finished and I am no professional. I barely sanded at all, in my before photo that’s actually how little I sanded, I basically barely got any previous paint off, and went ahead and just painted over because this mama doesn’t not much time on her hands and it worked just fine!! Yay! Check out my piano photos! Buy this. I used 1/4 for TWO coated on an entire piano. Heard great things about this brand and they didn’t disappoint. Now what else am I gonna find in my house and paint? :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for furniture!
Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2022
I've used chalk paint on furniture for quite a few years now, but when it came to updating my guest room furniture, I decided to give this a try. I'm so glad I did. The furniture turned out beautifully. Very few brush strokes too. The paint was a breeze to work with. I did top coat the dressing table surface and also the bedside tables just for extra durability, and the bedroom set looks great. I'd definitely repurchase, and I've recommended it to a friend, too.

Reviewed in Canada on February 28, 2022
Moved into a place with an oak kitchen. Love the trees in the wild, not so much in the house. Painted with General Finishes Lamp Black. I wiped down the cupboard doors, and tried some with a very light sanding and some with no prep apart from the wipe down -no difference really. I use foam brushes and regular brushes to paint and for the final coat, I use a mini roller. No matter what you use, and I have tried all brushes, it has never left brush marks. Once dried, it always dries well. The first layer you will panic but do not, just let it dry and do another. You may need a third. I sanded the edges of the doors afterward, as I wanted a more distressed /rustic look. (In the pics, there are a couple of different handles because I was still deciding which to use). I used the general finishes satin coat over-top (one coat) and it holds up very well. I am still completing the rest of the kitchen. Very happy with the purchase overall.
