What is Chalk Paint?

Chalk Paint is a decorative furniture paint designed by Annie Sloan to be easy to use, quick, and reliable. Chalk Paint very rarely requires any preparation, such as sanding or priming, and can be used indoors or outside, on just about any surface. Chalk Paint can be used to paint wood, it can be used to paint metal, it can be used to paint melamine, it can be used to paint flooring, it can be used to dye fabric, and it can even be used to paint glass! Chalk Paint dries to an elegant soft matte finish that's ready for sealing with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Wax or Lacquer.
