Customer Reviews for Americana 8 oz. Everlasting Chalky Finish

I used this to paint a glass table, that’s right glass and I love it!

Easy to use and worked like a charm on a mirror and entryway table! No priming needed.

The product went on thin so I needed to apply about 4 coats to achieve good coverage. This may if been do to the item I was painting, made if resin. But I love the color, creamy white, not yellow at all. I used the dark wax to highly all the accents on the painted piece, wish they had a black since the dark was more brown. The clear wax was easy to use also. All in all I gave the product a 3 do to the coverage.

This was a good paint for the crafts I wanted to complete. I was able to paint several items with this small container and it covered very well. I would definitely purchase this again for another project in the future.

So glad I came across this product. I don't need new furniture, just this paint. Turned my Mom's china cabinet and the old memories into new ones for me.

I bought this paint for the top to a dining room table. I have already applied two coats of paint to the table and it still needs more paint. If I had known I needed more than this I would have bought the rustoleum chalk paint.Rustoleum chalk paint goes on so much better and covers in 2 coats but looks good with one coat. This paint is costing twice as much as the rustoleum paint!!!

Beautiful finish my granddaughter loved her dresser !

This color is non-yellowing perfect to use on a contrasting distressed look or to use as is...i used everlasting on my kitchen table to add a contrast to my kitchen chairs also Americana decor in the color refreshing beautiful together. Long lasting, fast drying, nontoxic, a little goes a long way and it's odorless which is great if you have a toddler like I do...also, it's easy to play with the consistency by just adding water in a separate dish and dipping brush to make the paint thinner but still has great coverage little tip!

I bought this paint online, and did not read about it well enough. I thought I was buying chalk paint, the real deal, but this is not. It is a very nice latex paint. It's my fault for not reading well enough, but I was still disappointed. The color of this, called Lace, is an off-white with warm undertones. Whites come is so many shades, so if you have warm undertones in your color scheme this I think Lace is a nice white easy on the eyes. I painted a bare wood 18" round panel, which I planned to use as a tabletop. It covered in two coats, but i gave it three because two did not seem to be enough. It did not cover in one coat, you could see the wood through it. By the time I was on my third coat, I realized this isn't chalk paint. The nice things about it: the color is a rich warm toned white, it paints on easy (I used a Wooster brush) and it cleaned up easily with water run through the brush until clear. The bad thing is that it did not dry fast -- as chalk paint would -- and when I thought it was dry, overnight, I turned it over and it happened to be on a newspaper. That side picked up colors from the newspaper! I had to sand it out. It should have been dry. I did lightly sand between coats. In other issues, some newsprint literally stuck (embedded) into the paint on the underside of my table, around the edges. That side I only gave one coat. Still, it was so stuck into the paint I could not sand it off. I never had that happen -- newspaper getting so stuck to paint -- in all the things I have painted. The best way to get a good paint job is to have a good prep, and I thought I did but this was an experience and I've painted a lot of things, including the walls of my house with excellent results. I only sanded as this was bare wood. Maybe if I painted with primer that might have helped. After I realized it was not chalk paint, I painted the top with Polycrylic glossy, for a protective finish. It was not what I had originally planned, but it taught me to pay attention because there are so many paints that say they are chalk paint. The legs I bought I stained with minwax Kona and attached them. It is only an 18" table and I'm glad I made my mistake on this project and not my kitchen cabinets. I would recommend this paint not as a chalk paint finish but as a nice latex. I think if people want to have a chalk paint finish, they need to use it the actual paint, because it is not the same. I wish Home Depot was clearer online. The issue is there is Rusteolum that is an actual chalk paint but only two colors.

I had used chalky finish paint previously to add a white washed look to tongue and groove paneling but bought this to finish two cabinets on a new kitchen island. The color was a perfect match with the backsplash tile we chose. Easy to apply and great results! Love chalk paint!

This is a great product that you can use immediately no priming or sanding but if it is an item being handled or used a lot you may want to put a more pemenant finish on it .

This was my first experience using Chalk Paint. I had checked out a few blogs before deciding to just dive in and try it. I used about 10-12 jars for the entire kitchen. The color was a very pure white, which I liked. I found it easy to apply once I thinned it out with water. Chalk paint requires 3-4 coats to fully cover. I used the Wooster Pro2 in. White China Bristle Angle Sash Brush for the entire project. I started out not priming anything, but then decided to use a spray primer about half way in and that was a good choice. The last section of cabinets came out the best! I coated the cabinets in Varathane brand Polycrylic. This toned down the white color a bit. Again, this was a good thing for me! Overall I was happy with this product. Easy to use, great value and is holding up very well!!

It was exactly what I expected of this product

Love this paint. Goes on well with little to no brush marks.

Purchased the Americana Everlasting (White) Chalk Paint for to make a wedding welcome sign. I made a stencil then dabbed the paint on. The paint was so easy to work with and dried beautifully with nice sharp edges. Highly recommend!!

I wish I could afford this paint in every color they offer!!! East to work with and turns out beautiful every time.

Dilute and go, great coverage and feel.

Used it many times! Love it!

Chalk paint is just that: chalky. I needed that quality to paint the mortar that had gone crackin' around my shmear effect brick. It also is not white, but off white, creamy; perfect.

Worked well good finish,easy clean up
