WHAT IS CHALK PAINT?

To be perfectly honest it’s a trademarked brand of paint by Annie Sloan, but other companies created similar paints that create a chalky appearance. But one thing they all have in common is, the additive or powder that is added to make it a chalk paint. Chalk paint is simply flat or matte paint with an additive mixed into it to give it a gritty, matte finish. Many DIYers and crafty people use it because in most cases it eliminates the need to prep the piece of furniture before painting it. Chalk type paint is all the crave because it covers easily, goes on smooth, dries fast and creates a beautiful finish that is perfect for distressing with very little effort. The only problem is, it’s a little pricey at $35-$40 per quart.

The good news is, it’s also easy and inexpensive to make it yourself with my Magic Powder.

Here’s a chart that compares the cost of buying ready-made chalk paint or making it yourself.
