Rust-Oleum Chalk Chalky Furniture Paint Ink Blue 750ML, 0070024G1

Our house was once a guest house and the bedrooms are named after flowers (that was originally to identify rooms for the fire alarm system). The Cornflower Room is blue, with a cornflower frieze and blue curtains - but the built-in table where guests had a kettle, tea and coffee-making items, etc, was painted lime green. This looked incongruous. We lived with it for years, with the intention of painting it. I finally got round to it this year and looked for some cornflower blue paint and this seemed ideal. No preparation is needed, no sanding or anything, you just paint it on. It goes on easily and smoothly. One coat would be sufficient in many cases, but as I was covering lime green, I gave it a second coat. To protect it and make it waterproof (as we still keep a kettle on it) I waxed it as suggested. The finish is great and looks very professional. It really enhances the room and my only wish is that I had done it sooner. A little paint goes a long way, so you don't use very much. I may end up painting a chair. Can certainly recommend this paint for furniture.

Good quality product. Covers well and nice finish and end result.

I used this to paint a base coat on a piece of furniture I wanted to put a decorative design on. It dried overnight. It covered very well but I did do a second coat. It took acrylic paint designs over the top very well and a coat of varnish. The colour had more purple tones than the deep blue I thought I was buying but it’s still a nice, easy to use formula. I also have loads left. The whatnot pictured has hardly made a dent in the tin.

I upcycled a few pieces of furniture around my home, including IKEA kallax storage shelving. All turned out beautifully and I absolutely love the colour. I also did the woodwork and radiator in my bedroom and love it. Just remember to use a wax sealant over it. I purchased the same brand one. The paint is very easy to apply and dries super fast that you can get on with a second coat fairly quickly. I've added some photos for reference. It has a slight odour but nothing severe. However I did paint in the garden as paint can cause me migraines. I'd highly recommend this paint.

Really loved this colour.. so easy to paint.. quick drying.. no smell ... smooth texture and fantastic quality.. well worth the money

It dried quickly and went on a dream I just painted over my cabinet with not much preparation. I just wish I picked a different colour which is my fault so not the products..

Easy application, covers very well & looks superb.

This is just brilliant paint. We used it to create a 'distressed' look on an oak chest and the effect is superb.The paint goes on much better than a similar product (at a much higher price) from a trendy supplier and you can, if you wish, get a perfect finish.After painting we sanded the paint with very fine grade paper to let the original surface show throw in places and on the edges and finished off with a coat of Rust-Oleum wax. It sands off very easily so you do need not to use a harsh paper or apply too much pressure. Keep checking as you sand.The wax is pretty much essential and this type of paint is very soft and would rub off otherwise.It adhered well to a previously waxed surface after a quick wipe over with white spirit.
