Genuinely a one-coat product, but painting outside at 95 degrees and a ceiling fan going made it dry too fast, so I sanded it smooth and put a second coat on, fan off. Instructions say to add water to slow dry time--I probably should have simply painted it at night, but it was a chair for my kids, and they were eager to paint.
The finish is fantastic. I don't know how it will hold up to constant handling, but as easy as it is to apply, and as quickly as it dries, who cares?!?! Just cover bad spots. Sanding it with 400 grit paper made it look and feel amazing! I may give it a month or two, then sand it a bit to get rid of spots instead of recoating.
Great paint, easy application, great adhesion (so far), and no need for waxing or varnishing. This is the look without the work. Chalked paint is supposed to be easy, and finally with this paint, that is true. Avoid the real stuff that takes tons of fussy steps after painting.
My wife has asked me to paint her childhood rocking chair after seeing how nicely this chair turned out, and it was painted by our kids. That is a huge vote for this product!
Pros: Dries Quickly, Easy to Apply, Easy to Use, Even Application, Good Coverage, Looks Great
