This was a great choice for my project!!! I am new to chalk paint and I’ve used another brand recently and it worked well, however didn’t have the color option I needed for this project. I came across this brand during my search and Sooo glad I did! I little goes a long way and it definitely does not require primer. However, I was going from a very dark to a light color and wanted the paint to really Stick! I sanded a little of the top of my nightstand (you don’t have to) but I did because my nightstand had residue of body oils and perfumes etc…very light minimal sanding and I wiped the whole thing down thoroughly with a little soapy dawn dish sip water to get rid of dust and Debris . Then I wiped it down again with just water…let it dry.
I primed it with 1 coat nothing serious and began to paint with the Ivory tower!! Very beautiful color by the way, I let it dry and it was easy to use.
Side note* I used a brush for all corners, feet, edges and a small roller for the top and sides. Then I remembered I saw a few YouTube videos that said a little water stretches it and makes it even more to spread. I poured a little chalk paint in a separate container with just a LITTLE water. Do this in a separate container not in the container it goes in, because whatever is left over for use at a later time can “spoil” mold etc..
so in separate tray and the little bit of water I applied a second coat all over and sheesh this made it go on like butter! Talk about smoothhh sheesh I was impressed and wondered why I didn’t use water the first coating, but honestly I think it was better to use its full consistency for the first coating and only use the batch with a little water for the second coating. It dries fast, did not disappoint at all and looks great. I used polyurethane the varathane brand in satin for the top coat and it did not yellow. I read a few reviews and people said theirs yellowed. I did a test area (which I would recommend on your desired piece) to insure it doesn’t yellow. I’m highly satisfied and will be painting my other nightstand and big dresser next!!! Happy DIY :)
