Learn how to use Chalk Paint® Lacquer by Annie Sloan over Chalk Paint®! Use a Sponge Roller or Flat Brush depending on your preference and make sure to stir thoroughly before use. Then apply when you're ready!

Chalk Paint® Lacquer is water-based, water resistant and has UV protection in it, meaning colours will not fade in the sun. It comes in a choice of Matt or Gloss. In this video, Annie will discuss the uses of both finishes.

You should apply two coats of Chalk Paint® Lacquer to ensure the whole surface is covered and for maximum durability. Although touch dry within hours, Lacquer will take up to 2 weeks to reach its full hardness, so be relatively gentle with it before then.

When applying Chalk Paint® Lacquer, bear in mind that it is a 'penetrating' finish and can pull tannins or stains from the wood up through the paint. This can be especially noticeable on whites, manifesting as a yellow stain. Always test Chalk Paint® paint and Lacquer on several areas before you begin your project. If a stain appears, simply apply a thin coat of Chalk Paint® Lacquer directly over the entire surface to be painted before painting and lacquering again.

Annie Sloan invented her revolutionary furniture paint, Chalk Paint®, in 1990 and hasn’t stopped refining and improving her formula since. There's no need for priming or sanding. Chalk Paint® is as easy to use as opening the tin, dipping your brush, and applying paint to furniture! Annie wanted to create one paint that could achieve several different techniques and finishes – from creating a textured chippy look to achieving a smooth modern finish, or even creating a wash. Annie's paint has minimal VOCs and is very easy to work with.
