Ronseal RSLCFPMB750 750 ml Chalky Furniture Paint - Midnight Blue

Product Information

For new plaster, industry standard advice is to apply an initial mist coat - in which case you can thin Frenchic wall paint with tap water up to a maximum of 10%. Step 4: Wipe off any trace of sanding dust with a damp cloth and dry well with a lint free cloth. And old cotton t-shirt works well. For the ultimate flawless finish, use a velour roller. You will achieve a smooth and long-lasting professional look across all of your upcycled furniture. Did you know?

Our Chalk Paint is a water-based, eco-friendly furniture paint with a high pigment content. It has a matte, tactile, chalky feel finish but without any residue. Step 3: Lightly sand the surface with a sanding sponge. The top of my piece had several blemishes and needed a bit more sanding than the rest of the dresser. This sanding is very light and shouldn’t take you more than a few minutes. The object is to dull out any shiny surfaces and smooth out scratches or damaged areas.

The honest answer is any wooden furniture which you have within your home, especially if the tint of the wood has faded and it looks as though it could do with a varnish or some general tender loving care. Apply with a good quality brush or roller. Also suitable for spraying - thin with up to 15% tap water and apply additional coat(s).A 2.5l tin will provide a coat of up to 35m 2. For a durable finish, 2 coats are required, so your 2.5l tin should provide full coverage for approximately 17.5m 2 on non-porous surfaces. Thinner application may affect durability. Porous surfaces will affect the rate of coverage and require additional coats. Reseal tin after use. Clean up any spills immediately with water. Wash brushes in warm, soapy water.

Have you ever worked with Fusion Mineral Paint? I’d love to hear your experiences! Before using chalk paint, ensure that you have thoroughly cleaned the item and the surface. Ensure that the item is fully dry. Most chalk paint does not require you to sand the item or to use a primer. However, such additional preparation will not hurt your project and may enhance the results. Reseal tin after use. Clean up any spills immediately with water. Wash brushes/rollers in warm, soapy water.Avoid painting in direct sunlight, only when the air and surface temperatures are between 10 oC and 32 oC and humidity is less than 85%. Do not apply if, in the following 48 hours, there is likelihood of rain, frost, fog, condensation or if the temperature is likely to drop lower than 10 oC. This means that certain times of the year are unsuitable for painting outside projects - as a general rule of thumb Summer is recommended. If you want to wax your furniture after using chalk paint, wait at least 24 hours. Your chalk painted furniture will take around 30 days to fully cure, although you should be able to wax it after a full 24 hours. Step 6: Start painting! I wish I had taken more photos of this process but once you start it is hard to stop. Stir your pot of Fusion Mineral paint well. Dip your brush tip into the pot of paint. Understand that a little goes a very long way. The first coat should be a thin, light coat of paint. Do NOT over dip! You want a small amount of paint on your brush. Paint shouldn’t be dripping off your brush all over the place.

Step 7: Install hardware. Hardware can completely change the look of a piece. I absolutely love the hardware I chose. These brushed bronze knobs and Hepplewhite drawer pulls give the dresser and updated yet classic appearance. Breathable, chalk and mineral paint formulated for walls. Also suitable for internal woodwork, powder coated radiators, wall tiles (we recommend avoiding very wet areas like shower/bath surrounds). Here is some useful information about painting tiles. Also wood, concrete and most laminate floors with correct application – please note maintenance may be required in these situations. For the more adventurous, our colours are fully compatible with each other, meaning they can be mixed together to create your own unique colours and effects. That is all there is to it! Painting with the Fusion mineral paint was such a breeze. We all love how the dresser turned out and even hubby approves! Our 20 year old cherry dresser had seen better days. The finish on the top of the dresser was scratched and marred in several areas. It is a quality piece of furniture that coordinated with the rest of our traditional red mahogany bedroom suite. Our bedroom was probably the one room in our home that didn’t reflect the coastal design of the rest of the house. As I’ve slowly been updating the bedroom, deciding what to do with the dresser was a problem. We couldn’t afford a new dresser so selling it was an option. I considered stripping it bare, but that task seemed daunting and I simply didn’t have the energy. Being the very impatient person I am, this makeover had to be fast and easy!A 750ml tin will provide a single coat of up to 12.5m 2. For a durable finish, a minimum of 2 coats is required, so your 750ml tin should provide full coverage for just over 6m 2 on non-porous surfaces like laminate or metal. Limited Edition 500ml tins will provide a single coat of up to 8. 5m 2 .
