I only buy the colors that are more economically pricedSo far I have not been disappointed. Had some green (grotto was the name I believe) leftover from painting a picture frame and was able to paint an entire plant stand with it. Just did one coat, no wax finish, and it has held up really well. With the lighter colors I usually need to use at least two coats of paint. Have been updating some old picture frames, and old wood furniture including a really ugly orange colored coat tree. Instead of getting rid of these things and buying new I just gave them a new look. Have been really happy with the results so far and have to stop myself from painting everything I own. The only prep I do is cleaning the items before I start. Sometimes I use a wax finish but not always. The only problem I have had is usually no example or description of the paint color is given, only a picture of the bottle, so I kind of guess how it will end up looking by the name of the paint and picture of paint in a hard plastic bottle. Just received a red color called Imperial and a light green named sage blossoms to use on an old night stand!

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning Color - Perfect For Making Old Furniture New Again
Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2015
I love this color! I recently painted my living room wall navy and needed a great color for side tables to stand out. I purchased a nice pair of side tables from Craigslist for $30 and was excited to DIY something great. This colors was perfect to accent my navy walls and have the old, simple side tables pop. I've never used chalk paint before, and I has no intention of distressing this, I was just excited not to have to sand/prime furniture before painting. There are a lot of tutorials and tips available on chalk painting furniture, and I was able to make my old side table new again!

First thing I've learnt about chalk paint is that it's incredibly easy to use, no primer and sanding saves you a lot of time and energy. The paint is not waxy/sandy as you might imagine "chalky" being, instead it's smooth and very easy to roll on or paint with. Chalk paints are also very forgiving, I tried to stick to keeping my brush strokes straight and in one direction, but it does get hard in tight spots, and yet, after drying and adding finishing wax, it's smooth and even. This is also a great value for me, I was able to paint both side tables (3' tall, 25" wide and 16" in depth) with the entire bottle. I wasn't able to paint the complete inside with this color, but I always intended to make the inside white, so it wasn't very disappointing to me.

After my experience using chalk paints for the first time, I'm completely hooked on chalk paints, I doubt I'd go back to normal paints for my furniture DIYs. This chalk paint is a great value at under $10, and I definitely recommend it if this is your first time chalk painting. You're in good hands with this chalk paint, and this particular color looks better on my furniture than I could have ever hoped for. I'll be buying other colors soon.
