FolkArt Home Decor Water Based Chalk Furniture & Craft Paint in Assorted Colors, 8 ounce, Imperial

This is great chalk paint! It dries fast and doesn't need a top coat. I did use one but it seemed unnecessary, this paint adheres perfectly to wood, laminate surface and metal.I've been repainting tables and cabinets with several colors and been very happy with the coverage and mostly happy with the colors.This wasn't obvious in the listing but "willow mist" is a perfect light pink. I repainted bathroom cabinets with it and used it to stencil over the Sage green paint on shelving (in photo).The Sage is a nice subtle old fashioned, antique pale green and the Turkish Tile is a lovely darker blue that leans teal.The weirder color is the Oatmeal, it's basically a pale green. It's okay as an accent color but it wasn't what I expected as a main color.I did try the Country Chic brand and their colors were dull and ugly in person and twice as expensive as Folk Art, so I believe this was a great choice.

This is a very good value brand chalk paint. Nice color saturation, good thick texture, easy to brush on, lots of color choices. Can't beat the price!

This is everything I hoped the color would be. It looked quite pink in my monitor settings, but I took a chance anyway. It is a nice dusty purple with hints of greige. Neutral enough to go well with most other purples. This is a super-matte chalk paint with good coverage that is easy to work with and distresses well. I couldn't beat the price either.

This paint was great, first time painting furniture and it didn’t disappoint, i used about 3/4 of the can to do a 3 layer on this three shelve bookshelf. It looks awesome, I love it! It’s soo smooth, it took a minute to dry in between layers so be patient. It has no smell, and it’s super easy to clean and apply.*Bonus: make sure to use a clay paint brush*

A few things about Folk Art Chalk Paint + about this color (Sage):I’m totally obsessed with this Folk Art chalk paint. I’ve tried other less/more $$ ones and I keep coming back to this one. Some other chalk paints are not as thick or pigmented so I end up having to do way more coats with other brands (ESPECIALLY lighter colors) whereas with folk art after 2 coats I’m usually done with an even colored finish.There are some reviewers that have disliked or commented that the paint seems dried out or clumpy… but that’s the nature of this chalk paint. It will go on smooth if you can get past that it may look like a low-key Ghostbusters blob when it comes out 😆 This is why this paint has such great coverage and pigment. In general, that’s a good thing. Even if you plan to do more of a washed look, watering this down you need to use so much less of it than other brands imo.Getting a clear matte or gloss varnish afterward to brush on has worked for me…. Protective/finishing doesn’t seem to cover evenly enough for larger pieces and the waxes I’ve tried can be hit or miss with buffing color out once it’s dry and you think you’re good to go.With all that said… re: this color SAGE…… is definitely more of a lightish blue with a touch of green. It dries like a light robins egg blue like a couple other reviewers said. There’s a darker sage that’s available that would be more true to a green sage than this color would be. It’s pretty, but if you’re not going for any blue undertones, I’d pick another color.

My go 2 paint. Turned me into a chalk paint girl! Usually only one coat will suffice. Cleans up with soap and water. Good coverage, good value for an excellent paint. Nice matte finish. Very durable when dry. Dries quickly.

Lucky my order came unbroken because it was packed with 2 of these, on their sides, next to contact paper and some buffing pads. Would of been a mess if they popped, but ofc that's amazon primes problem if it did.The color is beautiful, and close to what I wanted; however, it is not a true sage. If you want more green than blue hues, don't choose this color. I purposely looked through reviews to find descriptions and pictures of this color. If you look up "ffxiv Celeste green" it's basically that, which is my favorite, so it works for me. Dries quickly though!Pictures show some with multiple coats, some with only one. Also showing more sage green watering can for comparison of colors!

This brand makes a very wonderful paint. I'm giving the paint itself a 5 star review.However, I expect more from Amazon packaging. Terrible. The paint was clearly open and spilling when it was packaged.The manufacturer puts a double seal on this product. You have to peel the first seal off then pierce the second. Do better, please. I would have waited a few more days for a sealed bottle.
