Rustoleum Chalked Paint Review

Video Notes: ***After more research*** - Rustoleum does make a topcoat you can use for added durability/not required. They did not carry this at my store and I went online to research if it needed a topcoat since there was no mention on the paint product.

I used this pint on my end tables about a year ago, definitely needed more than one coat but I never used a top coat and my tables are still beautiful and I have two small kids touching all over them. TFS!

I'm glad you did a review on this. Rustoleum does sell their Clear Matte Topcoat sealant for the Chalk paint series which in my opinion is a bit garbage. I am, however, a huge fan of the Rustoleum Chalk paint only in WHITE. I found that the white is actually thicker than the Charcoal and the Country Gray colors. The "Linen White" color they offer is actually very good coverage and as you know, colors do make a difference in the consistency of the paint too. I do find this paint easier to use when you want to distress. I find it actually works better than Fusion which I'm a huge fan of.

I just found your video. Tonight I used this on my RV window box valances I found mine at Wal Mart and it was a gorgeous shade Coastal Blue. Though they are material covered and I used a round brush to blot and blend, the results were amazing. One coat did the trick. I wanted the firmer surface so no sanding on these. I was very pleased Not planning on top coating. Possibly the buttons with some polycrylic.
I'd use this again absolutely.
No more pea green lol this is a very beautiful blue. I love Rust-Oleum products.
But you are correct, Home Depot didn't carry many colors. I'm not a fan of them though for any paints.

I’m currently painting my dining room chairs. The drag on the paint is pretty intense. I am now misting before painting and that makes a HUGE difference. Got my misting bottle at Sally’s.

I chalked my vanity in the bathroom it turned out so good. I used the charcoal colour it took a couple coats I sanded lightly between coats and used the matte top coat. Turned out beautifully. Lasting really great also.

my first piece i did was with rustoleum chalk paint in linen. i did a chest of drawers which i have in my spare bedroom. it turned out pretty and is holding up well, i did have to do i think 3 coats but it was a white so i figured i would . i did topcoat it with polyacrylic. i have since used dixie belle silk which is my go to paint now. love your channel. thanks for all the info you provide.

Just ordered some and reading the comments and reviews, unsure if it would be suitable. The thickness and viscosity might cause problems, unless it can be thinned and maybe Fleotrol added to reduce the drying time and allow for a flatter smoother coat. Thanks for the video, very helpful!

Thank you so much for replying so soon 😊 I am new to your channel. Congrats I have watch 6 videos so far and all of them are really helpful thanks again 😊

It’s actually pretty good paint. Extremely durable. Especially if you fine sand it after a good 2-3 coats to buff it smooth. Adding wax or top coat just make it even better.
I do a really thin coat to start with.
Sand between every coat. I end with 2-3 coats perfect chalk matte finish and I found it’s more smooth that Jolie homes. 🤷🏽‍♀️
One more thing. 2nd coat and if you do a third needs water added to it. Mist the surface or add water to the paint.

FYI Rustoleum has 2 base chalked a light and a dark that can be used to any color recepy. I'm in Québec in a small town and I get mine at a small local hardware store. I also got some Behr chalk that they will color in at your choice got that at Home Depot. Annie Slown is great but very expensive and super hard to get. Just pass this along. 👌

[aaronmartinez]

Annie Sloan isn't a one coat coverage either. IMO

Hi do you answered my comment related to an other video, but this is the issue what I was talking about this is the exact same paint and color what I was using.

[KimberlyRose-rbhk]

Did you spray your brush and water down paint like other videos? Didn't see you do that.

I wanted to redo my pine kitchen cabinets and searched for a non-stark white color. I chose this bran paint at Home Depot because the Chiffon color was the color I was looking for. I’ve never chalk painted before and appreciate your review. I’m starting w my bathroom vanity and using Java glaze and Verathane polyurethane as the in between coat and top coat. I’m so nervous. Also I can’t use wax as a top coat because my dogs lick it off. 🙄

[sunshinehope]

hello, do I need to use varnish after painting my furniture? And if it is scratched, does the paint come off without varnish? Thx for the review 🤗✨
And one more thing, a lot of people says that this paint is one of the only ones that adheres to melamine, it's good for that material after I use sand paper?

[yvonnerosas]

I was wondering if I can thin or water down gel stain to use in place of a glaze to use on white chalk painted end tables?

[PattyLawrence-ho]

I never use only one coat no matter the brand of paint especially putting dark colour over light and i always top coat.

[cindearbuckle]

what top coat ? rustolium ? i wanted to try the white linen on a buffet, but it did not show a color ?

[stephaniepiazza]

I’ve used it. It’s easy. I got it in Ace hardware 🎉
