First time using rustoleum chalk paint & must say I've very pleased how my project looks after a few coats. Inexpensively transformed a few pieces of furniture. I also used the rustoleum matte clear coat when finished.

When this arrived in the mail, it was leaking a little in the box. It was also shipped with another Amazon item that paint got all over. Thankfully the other item was wrapped in plastic, so it wasn't damaged. This is just something to keep in mind when ordering. Perhaps order your paint by itself to reduce chances of it getting shipped in the same box as other things.

That does not effect my opinion of how the product actually works though, so on to that. This is my first time using chalk paint, so I have no idea if there are little nuances to be looking for in a quality product. I just know this worked wonderful for my purposes. I updated a rather large coffee table with this paint, and used about half the can for it. I did some sanding before hand, but that was mostly because my piece of furniture had some gouges and marks in it to get rid of. The paint adhered well both in places I had done heavier sanding, and in places where I did little to no sanding. I have included before and after photos.

It took me two good coats of paint, and the third was just touching up. I expected that with painting white over something darker. If you're distressing, I highly recommend having a vacuum or shopvac on hand to clean up the dust. Because sanding off chalk paint makes an unholy mess! It's so much easier to suck up the dust and then wipe it down with paper towels to get the rest off.

And if you're curious, here was my process for my coffee table....
Removed door, and removed hinges and handle from door
Sanding--remove scratches and gouges in wood, heavily sanded top to take stain.
Applied painter's tape around edges to keep paint away from where I would be staining
Applied several coats of "mocha" colored stain to top of table (purchased at Home Depot)
Applied two coats white chalk paint to rest of table and door, plus a third touch up coat
In the meantime, I applied pretty window cling film on the underside of the glass pieces to dress them up a bit (can be bought in rolls off Amazon)
I messed around with the door handle with a few different treatments...it was more of an accident that it actually looks good haha.
Once everything was dry, I sanded by hand around the edges and corners to rough it up and add age (suuuuper messy-get a shopvac to help clean that up!)
I debated rubbing some stain on where I had roughed it up, but decided I liked the original finish of the wood that was peeking through.
I finished everything off by wiping any remaining dust from sanding off with paper towels and a good coat of spray polyurethane (purchased at Home Depot)

Happy refinishing! Love this product and will order again!

I used this along with antique White to update our bedroom set. I needed 2-3 coats for the full coverage effect I wanted but a little goes a long way. Very pleased with the results!

This paint goes on easily and is even easier to distress. Dries very matte and fast, like most chalk paints. It is, however, cheaper at Home Depot, especially with a military discount.

I used this to paint my old baby grand piano and bench. No priming. No sanding. Just started painting. I couldn't be more pleased with the result. One and a half cans covered the very large piano and bench.
