FolkArt Home Décor Chalk Finish Acrylic Paint, 8oz, 8 ounce, Milk Jug

I love this color! I recently painted my living room wall navy and needed a great color for side tables to stand out. I purchased a nice pair of side tables from Craigslist for $30 and was excited to DIY something great. This colors was perfect to accent my navy walls and have the old, simple side tables pop. I've never used chalk paint before, and I has no intention of distressing this, I was just excited not to have to sand/prime furniture before painting. There are a lot of tutorials and tips available on chalk painting furniture, and I was able to make my old side table new again!First thing I've learnt about chalk paint is that it's incredibly easy to use, no primer and sanding saves you a lot of time and energy. The paint is not waxy/sandy as you might imagine "chalky" being, instead it's smooth and very easy to roll on or paint with. Chalk paints are also very forgiving, I tried to stick to keeping my brush strokes straight and in one direction, but it does get hard in tight spots, and yet, after drying and adding finishing wax, it's smooth and even. This is also a great value for me, I was able to paint both side tables (3' tall, 25" wide and 16" in depth) with the entire bottle. I wasn't able to paint the complete inside with this color, but I always intended to make the inside white, so it wasn't very disappointing to me.After my experience using chalk paints for the first time, I'm completely hooked on chalk paints, I doubt I'd go back to normal paints for my furniture DIYs. This chalk paint is a great value at under $10, and I definitely recommend it if this is your first time chalk painting. You're in good hands with this chalk paint, and this particular color looks better on my furniture than I could have ever hoped for. I'll be buying other colors soon.

Very happy with this paint. It covers welll and dries quickly.

Easiest the best paint I have ever used. Almost self leveling. For sure apply with a sponge not a brush if you want flawless finish. Zero odor. Glides onThe color Barcelona Beige is outstanding. Very elegant classy color. So sick of the grey fever. This is a beautiful neutral dark taupe. No yellow undertone yet not expressing grey either.I am ordering more and painting other furniture and fixtures. Obsessed!I will be finishing my console table with a nice thick chalk paint wax.

Creamy thick quality that dries chalky. I bought “milk jug” and it’s the perfect shade of rich cream. I also mixed a bit of acrylic colors with it to create a French lavender grey to accentuate some of the details in the nightstands I painted. Great price too. Two nightstands and I used about half of the jar of paint. Glad I don’t have to buy a quart just for small projects.

So the color is really pretty, it’s very thick, dries pretty quickly, the size of the bottle is big, it seems very durable, it blends good and the varieties available are ones I’ll be looking into. The issue I have is that the bottle looks very old and has been sitting around in the warehouse for who knows how long. It still works really good though. It only took 2 coats to cover the wood boxes I painted. I would consider buying again because the price is good too for the amount of paint you’re getting. Would recommend.

Covers very well. Rock painting.

Deep deep brown n lives up to how it is presented. How ever no fault of the product but not sure it’s right for my project. I have bought other colors and it’s a very good product.

A little darker than it looks online but really pretty.Great coverage and you can lighten it if you wish.
