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! Allow the first coat to dry approximately 30+ minutes and then start on your second coat. If you later discover any drips you can smooth them out with a super fine sanding sponge (300 grit). The paint will dry to a matte finish but not a chalky looking matte. It is a very silky looking matte, almost like an eggshell finish, which is gorgeous. No top coat is needed. You can put items on it after 24-48 hours but the total cure time for any acrylic is actually 21 days. I have found that waiting a few days to a week is best if you plan on putting anything really heavy on the piece like a TV.

Curing (hardening) time is up to 3 weeks in normal conditions. Treat gently until curing is complete.Besides white, blue could very well be one of the top chalk paint/chalk style paint colors for furniture flips and home décor projects. While I personally love the blue-greens, these straight up blue shades are stunning. If you want to wax your furniture after using chalk paint, wait at least 24 hours.

This paint dries to the touch in 30 minutes. However, if you’re looking for a more opaque finish, you’ll have to wait at least two hours between coats. While primer isn't necessary with this chalk paint, it is highly suggested for unfinished wood. You also don't need to sand your surface for the paint to adhere.

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%.Porous, or ‘thirsty’ surfaces like bare wood or MDF, tend to absorb paint meaning additional coats are likely to be required to achieve a durable finish. In this case, your 750ml tin will provide less than 6m 2 of full coverage. If you apply the paint too thinly, durability may be affected. 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.
