Make sure your room is warm and above 10°C. The chalk paint doesn’t have a strong smell but you still might want to open a window or door for extra ventilation.
Put down a dust sheet so you don’t accidentally end up painting your carpet. If you do, don’t worry, it will wash out easily.
How to prepare bare wood:
- Use 120 grit sandpaper and lightly sand in the direction of the woodgrain. This will help to give you a smooth surface to help the paint adhere well.
- Let the dust settle and wipe it up with white spirit and a cloth.
How to prepare painted wood:
- For paint that’s in a good condition, just lightly sand it with 240 grit sandpaper to help the chalk paint stick.
- If your paint is in a poor condition and is flaking off, you need to sand back to the bare wood. This is easiest done with 120 grit sandpaper and an electric sander.
- Let the dust settle and wipe it up with white spirit and a cloth.

- Apply a first coat using a synthetic brush and paint in the direction of the woodgrain.
- Wait four hours for the coat to dry.
- Apply a second coat. This will be touch dry in only 30 minutes and that’s it, job done.
