vintage looks .see enclosed brochure for ideas.Its easy to apply using a brush and
dries quickly. The finish can be
sanded smooth or distressed with sandpaper. It is
essential to add a protective coating to chalk paint furniture before use. We recommend
Da Vinci wax or Glaze Clearcoat.

paint similar to stucco, you need more chalk than for chalk finish but the effect
is ideal. We recommend mixing into Vintique or Distressed paints mixed to the colour
of your choice.

better adhesion, and isn't clumpy but still works the same.
