Overview

Ronseal Chalky Furniture Paint is perfect for transforming old and new wooden furniture, doors and cupboards. Unlike traditional chalk paint products, it protects them too, so there's no need to overcoat with a wood wax or lacquer for protection. You still get that chalky, flat matt finish that looks great, but it's tough too, so it will look great for longer.

Please Note: This product is not suitable for use on wooden floors.

Preparation

Ensure that furniture and other interior wooden surfaces to be painted are clean, dry and free from dirt, dust and any other surface contaminates. Open doors and windows for good ventilation and lay down dust sheets to cover areas not to be painted.

Bare or New Wood

Lightly sand furniture and other interior wood to help with adhesion and final finish
Sand using 120grit sandpaper in the direction of the wood grain
After sanding, vacuum the wood to be painted and surrounding area to remove all traces of sanding dust
Wipe the wood with a clean, white, lint free cloth dampened with white spirit
Fill any holes or minor imperfections in the wood with Ronseal High Performance Wood Filler or Ronseal Multi Purpose Wood Filler

Previously Painted Wood

Old paint or varnish that is in good condition should be lightly sanded with 240grit sandpaper
Old paint or varnish that is flaking or cracked must be sanded back to bare wood
For the best results, use an electric sander using 120grit sandpaper
Sand in the direction of the wood grain
Always wear a suitable dust mask when sanding and especially so when sanding back old coatings and finishes
Vacuum the wood and surrounding area to remove all traces of sanding dust
Wipe the wood with a clean, white, lint free cloth dampened with white spirit

Application

Always do a small test area to assess the colour and compatibility of the finish. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the tin at all times.

Chalky Furniture Paint should only be applied in temperatures above 10°C. Stir the paint thoroughly before and periodically during use to ensure a consistent finish.

Apply Ronseal Chalky Paint with a good quality synthetic brush in the direction of the wood grain
Apply 2 coats, leaving 4 hours between coats

FAQ

Q. What's the difference between traditional chalk furniture paint and Ronseal Chalk Paint?

A. Most chalk paint products on the market are made to their own unique formulation and usually require a wax top coat, to seal in the finish. Although Ronseal Chalky Furniture Paint is not a traditional chalk paint, it has the benefit of providing a chalk furniture paint finish that does not require a wax top coat. As with traditional chalk paint products, it is perfect for a wide range of upcycling and Shabby Chic furniture projects.

Great product

Great paint. Very easy to apply with great coverage.

Not the colour on the tin or described by the name.

I chose this 'Midnight Blue' colour because I wanted a really dark navy blue paint. The colour shown on the tin is just such a truly dark blue but the paint inside is more of a bright teal colour. It is very much lighter than the tin and the colour name suggest. Couldn't use it at all. A total waste of money.

Furniture renovation in a can

All good - just needed a really good stir. Made a marked improvement to a donated drawer chest.

Excellent paint, easy to apply and fantastic finish. Tried others but none are as good.

Used this on all my furniture projects and am thrilled with the finish. Great choice of colours. Have recommended it to all my friends.

Easy to use. Great finish.

Would use this again. Exactly the finish I wanted.

Easy to use paint.

I bought this paint from Wood finishes direct during lockdown when it was very difficult to get paint from the usual DIY shops. I had already used it so I knew it was easy to use and had a great chalky finish. I bought it here as all other internet sites were either sold out or selling it at exorbitant prices. Wood finishes direct emailed me when it was in stock and it not up their price just because of lockdown as many other sellers did.

I have done several sets of draws in this colour.

I would recommend using ronseal chalky furniture paint to anyone that loves up cycling furniture it gives a great finish to whatever you use it for ðŸ‘

Really pleased how this colour has turned out. I would definitely recommend it to everyone. I love ronseal chalky furniture paint.it gives a great finish .

Easy to use . Does what it says on the tin.

Very pleased,with this product. So easy to use and very hard wearing. Used on kitchen table, lots of hard knocks and still,looks as good as new.

Needs a lot of coats

Product was easy to apply, it did take a number of coats (7 in total) to achieve total coverage which was very labour intensive but I am pleased with the end result.

Thank you for sending in some feedback on this product, I am sure it will help many people with their projects. This product does not require a primer, however if it is a light colour applied to a mid or dark wood or previously painted surface, it may take a few more coats to get complete coverage. It can also depend on method of application and how much you apply. Which can be different for everyone. I am pleased you have got a great result and if you feel like sharing please feel free to send before and after photos to any of our Social Media Pages or via Email.

Fantastic!!

I know the products good because l've used it many times. It always gives a fantastic durable finish! Lovely paint to work with.

Very hard wearing great look

So long as you follow the instructions this is a fantastic product by far best I've found on the market. I've used 3 colours so far and all best in class.

Ideal product

Very good colour and coverage. Gave the ideal finish.

Perfect hard wearing finish

Top product and top service from wood finishes direct

Great website, delivery and product!

I have bought both this paint line from Wood Finishes before, and no doubt I will again. The Ronseal chalkpaint range has beautiful colours and an amazing finish.

The best for painted furniture

This is far better than expensive normal chalk paint.

Good

Good finish but takes quite a few coats to get it right.

Works well,

Very robust but does need more coats than advised

Nice colour, good results.

A good product . Happy with quality and finish.

Great paint, went on well.

Painted oak furniture and after a couple of coats it looked great. Very happy with results.

Really good chalky furniture paint

Bought the cream to cover a pine sideboard . It's produced a very pleasing result and one tin went a long way as I needed several coats to achieve the best coverage. Would certainly recommend.

Delivered as promised on time and efficiently packaged

What a difference this has made to my bedroom furniture, it was dark and dreary but now is light and looks so much more modern, with a fresh lick of paint to walls and new curtains it is now my favourite room in the house!

Coverage was ok.

Used to repaint a side board. Took several coats to cover the old paint finish. But happy with the end result.

Lovely colour

Used on country kitchen table and pew. Loved the coverage and end result. Will be using this again.

Easy, simple to use, minimum prep

Worked well with a roller on a large dresser, I didn't sand but used sugar soap to clean the unit. Nice textured finish.

Great coverage and so pleased with the colour.

Lovely colour. Painted my pine bedroom furniture and stunned at the transformation. Didn't need to use primer.

Perfect paint to revamp old furniture

Great product, used to revamp some old pine furniture and its given items a new lease of life. To start with I was putting product on too thickly and got a lot of drips, you need to apply light coats to prevent this and build up the layers. I ended up putting on 5 coats to get the coverage I wanted. A small amount goes a long way and it is really simple to use, no primer or undercoat needed.

Great product, but quite a dull white shade

Great product which I used to revamp some old pine furniture. A small amount goes a long way and it is really simple to use, no primer or undercoat needed. Best to apply lightly and build up layers as applying too thickly creates drips which then needed sanding down and I had to re-apply. This white shade is quite dull, definitely not a bright white. I used the Country Cream shade on some other items and much preferred that colour.

Excellent value

It did the job not cheap but very effective. We painted the inside of our beach hut with it and just one coat made the inside lighter with a rustic feel and appropriate for the hut.
