The colours are also really easy to apply. Due to their creamy consistency, they do not drip or spatter and are not prone to 'sagging'. They have high hiding power, so even strong-coloured surfaces can be covered easily.

Where can I use CosyColours chalk paint lacquer?

CosyColours chalk paint lacquer is perfect for upcycling old and new furniture. If you want to achieve an authentic vintage look for your home in a shabby chic style by painting an old piece of furniture, chalk paint is your first choice. The matt finish and elegant colours are reminiscent of times gone by. For DIY projects, you can achieve perfect results really easily with this furniture paint. 2 coats of chalk paint lacquer are usually enough to give furniture a completely new look, but the the CosyColours collection is not only suitable as furniture paint, they are also suitable for a wide range of interior surfaces and materials. For example, stone, metal and plastic surfaces can also be given a beautiful new finish.

How do I use CosyColours chalk lacquer?

Before each coat is applied, your project-piece - whether it is furniture or stone window sills, home accessories such as vases or any other object - must be spotless. All dust, dirt and grime must be completely removed. MissPompadour has the perfect product for this: MissPompadour To Clean. If a piece of furniture has already been treated with wax, the surface will need to be sanded first. Regardless of whether you want to paint wooden surfaces, a metal surface or plastic, laminated surfaces with chalk paints, cleaning is the first, most important step.

If your piece has noticeable stains on the surface, as is often the case with pine wood, you should apply a coat of our To Bond & Block primer before you apply the chalk paint lacquer. You should also prepare materials such as plastic, glass or stone with MissPompadour To Bond & Block so that the paint can adhere well to the smooth surface. If you want to paint metal, we also recommend applying our primer beforehand. Metal which has rusted will need to be sanded down and coated with a rust-inhibitor primer before applying To Bond & Block. Please note that old oak furniture can bleed even after decades. This can leave ugly stains on your beautiful chalk paint finish. Old stains can also bleed during painting and discolour the finish coat. MissPompadour has the solution for all these cases: Paint a thick layer of MissPompadour To Bond & Block Primer before painting with chalk paint.

Then apply the paint in 2 coats. You will achieve an even, slightly rustic-looking finish on all materials such as wooden surfaces, metal, plastic laminate or stone. CosyColours chalk lacquers are stable and durable, but if your piece is subject to higher wear and tear - such as a chair or table - we recommend finishing with a coat of MissPompadour To Seal. This topcoat makes the finish even more impact- and scratch-resistant. If you are more interested in a perfect vintage look, you can give your paint an authentic finish with our furniture wax.
