About Annie Sloan Chalk Paint®

Applications:

BEST paint on the market for painting furniture
Paint can be used on any surface - literally.
Use on walls for a soft matte effect or wax it for a polished plaster effect
Can even be used to paint floors
Paint can be applied to interior or exterior surfaces and furnishings 

Techniques:

Use one color or layer colors
Distress and apply waxes to create an old world patina
Can be used as a wash - dilute with water so when you apply paint
it shows the wood grain
You can use it as an impasto (thickly), just leave the lid off to
thicken
Very little black is used so the colors can be
mixed in any combination

Ease of Use:

No need to prime or prepare surface
The colors are mixed intelligently
