You simply apply in the same way as you would with any piece of furniture. With Metal, apply very thin coats (sometimes watered down) and I would always test a small area first to ensure it is suitable. Some very shiny metals like stainless steel may not have the same effect or you may have to apply several thin coats to get a build of paint.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is chalk paint waterproof?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/priorypolishes.co.uk\/product-category\/chalk-paint-by-annie-sloan\/\"><em><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Chalk paint<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/a> is water resistant when you apply a lacquer. It is not fully waterproof and so should not be used on surfaces that are exposed to lots of water and rain.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can chalk paint be used on outdoor furniture?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Chalk paint can be used on exterior outside garden furniture. It must be <em><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/priorypolishes.co.uk\/product\/chalk-paint-lacquer-by-annie-sloan\/\">sealed in a lacquer<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/em> to make it water resistant but it is best not to leave your garden furniture outdoors when not in use. \u00a0If chalk painted furniture is left outside in bad weather, it can eventually wash off with the rain.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can chalk paint be used for walls?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes, This Paint can be used for walls; it will offer a lovely textured matt finish. Simply use quality paint brush to apply to the walls and this will add to the unique texture of the paint finish. You can then either leave it in a matt finish or add a coat of <em><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/priorypolishes.co.uk\/product-category\/purpose\/wax-finishes\/\">wax<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/em> to add a little sheen and some protection. Annie Sloan also offer a wall paint and we can order this in if required. Please email or call us with any requirements and we can assist you where necessary.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can chalk paint be used on plastic?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes, Chalk paint can be used on plastic, this is why it is such a popular paint as it is so versatile. Like with metals, you need to apply this in thin coats, usually watered down slightly. You may need to add several coats to get your desired finish and then add a <em><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/priorypolishes.co.uk\/product-category\/purpose\/wax-finishes\/\">layer of wax<\/a> <\/span><\/strong><\/em>or <em><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/priorypolishes.co.uk\/product\/chalk-paint-lacquer-by-annie-sloan\/\">Lacquer<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/em> to seal.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chalk paint is a decorative furniture paint, which was developed by Annie Sloan in the UK over 25 years ago.
