FolkArt Home Decor Chalk Furniture & Craft Paint in Assorted Colors, 8 ounce, Cascade,34159

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.

Loved using the chalk paint on my kitchen table, will buy again. Like others noticed the white needs more than one coat. The dark blue only needed one coat besides the first coat of 50/50. The white I did four coats. By the way, I mixed the chalk paint with water 50/50 and used that as a first coat, then did 75 % paint and water, and then the third coat was 100% chalk paint and the last coat again 100% chalk paint. There has to be a base for it to stick to varnished furniture, that's right I did not need to sand the table first. I also used water in the mix because that was how I was taught by my mother who restores/paints furniture as a hobby, I also sanded the table to perfect softness and then added one last layer of white just to make sure there were no drips. The paint is thick and it is not 100 % opaque but the coverage is great, I used one 8 oz can for an entire table with several thin layers. That's right, thin, layers and I waited two hours between coats just to make sure it was dry. It does chip if you try a thick coat or multiple almost dry coats and then more wet coats on top, always try it out on scrap wood to test how thick to apply the paint. I love how my table came out, with a cute rustic design in the nautical blue. The owners of this company need to update the pictures with a paint chip not distressed wood in off lighting. The colors are off on the photos just be aware of that. Some are darker, some brighter. I thought I was getting white, but what I got went from white to turned slightly yellow cream white color. The nautical blue was the same, I thought I was getting a blue with a slight hint of grey like on the Maine boats and themed marine house decor items. Not grey with slight blue that looks blue in certain lighting and grey during the day and night. Seriously It looks like I have an antique cream table with grey-blue design on it... It would have looked better if the color stayed white. I did not have cracking, chipping or issues with clean up. Will be buying from this brand again. The colors look great even if that was not my original plan, and the feeling of the paint is good, people give compliments about my table and I am not disappointed just frustrated with the company for not having better photos. The best part of the paint is that it does not smell horrible! I will be using chalk paint for interior walls from now on.

Love this color painted T.V stand and side table to match. No chipping or peeling , and I didn’t prep the wood. Easy to use drys fast , & pigmented

This paint is great. Coverage is excellent and dries fast.Unfortunately, Amazon has become so completely unreliable with delivery date promises. Now the delivery dates are more like a bait and switch. Several of my orders a week are late and Amazon does not let a customer cancel late orders. My future orders will be via Walmart website going forward as their delivery promises are much more reliable.

This item was marked as "delivered" when it never was, however the requested replacement showed up as it was supposed to though. It's not bad paint, just takes several coats to cover the surface. I wouldn't use this small bottle to tackle a larger project for that reason, but it did the job and looks pretty good.

I liked the paint and it’s easy of applying. I however was looking for a lighter gray

This dresser is my first chalk paint project. As you can see from the pictures, this chalk paint plus dark wax from the same company transformed a throwaway dresser into something I’m delighted to have in my home. This product is reasonable (much less expensive than comparable products), performs beautifully, and is very forgiving even for a novice like me. I can now see all kinds of potential chalk painting projects everywhere I look and have since purchased it in other colors. Great product!

I buy a lot of different colored chalk paints for crafting and I’m very happy with this brand. Great variety of colors, comes in 2oz bottles as well and has great coverage.I really just don’t understand some of the pricing on these. Many are very affordable, but some colors cost way more than they should. The only difference is in the color.

The paint had excellent covéage and my finished product with the paint application, had a very matt and smooth appearance.The colour selection was outstanding.

Applies well, great coverage and cost is great too

I used it for a dinning table and the color turned out very nice

The media could not be loaded.  I like its a deep ĝreen/painted my entrance stool

Our kitchen cabinets are a antique white and I have not been able to find a color to match, until now, this is the perfect color match,it's a very nice easy to use chalk paint and I would definitely recommend it
