![]() ![]() Rust-Oleum Chalked is excellent as it’s one of the most budget-friendly chalk paints out there. I like suggesting too that new painters start with a readily available and low-cost chalk style paint. Have fun experimenting with different paints and furniture and figuring out what your own personal preferences are. My advice for beginning chalk painters is always to embrace the journey of trial and error. All of this advice and caution can make chalk painting feel overwhelming!

This chalk style paint works great for painting furniture and in my Rust-Oleum Chalked Paint Review I’ll walk you through all the pros and cons of this affordable easy-to-use paint. I definitely liked using it more with my distressed picture frame than on my TV stand. Dries streaky in some areas, but a second coat helps to fix thisĪs you can see from the cons, this chalk paint isn’t perfect.Does not cover up spackled nail holes and other touch ups well.It’s very thin and makes handling it with a paint brush a little harder.I think adding a sealant such as wax or a water based poly would help prevent this, however that does take away from the beautiful matte look ![]() This was more of a problem on my TV stand with the dark charcoal paint where I didn’t want any distressing. It scuffs up extremely easily, even just touching it with oily fingers leaves marks.Results in a beautiful, matte slightly chalky finish – a lovely chalk paint texture. ![]()
