This post I posted last night on our Facebook page. To my surprise, I received much acclaim. Immediately via Facebook and email, it is an issue that apparently is not just my heart, so I put it also stopped here on this blog.
Chalk Paint can be applied without sanding or priming Wow, a dream for anyone black ground beetles who hates that rotklusje! I often get the question if this story is true. You do indeed NEVER sanding or priming? My answer is usually: be realistic, what do you think?
Number 1 is your own choice. Would you like to have a rough surface? Fine, be my guest. Regarding 2: well degreased and porous black ground beetles surface will paint simply easier to record and immediately adhere well. It works nice. As a painter this job leaves so he will win first time, but when you apply again losing time because the paint less fine uitstrijkt and less beautiful covers or adhesive. This applies also for chalk paint. All chalk paint!
Is it always necessary to sand? Surface bare Absolutely not! Untreated wood is usually already smooth and porous enough so you only have to degrease. And this always do before sanding. With a glossy lacquer or paint, it is enough to just sanding off the shine. Barn so not all the varnish or paint off. For example, oak you better leave even the paint intact.
And what about with prime? This is also not always necessary. It strongly depends on the surface and how important you think your paint job. That sounds a bit weird, but personally I do for example a candlestick, vase, table or stool not as crowded. I want to fast another color, then I brush away lustily.
But it is a difficult surface (bleeding bare wood, rusting metal, plastic) and especially in combination with an extensive job (flooring, black ground beetles exterior painting, kitchen cabinets) then I do prefer to have this trouble. Especially bleeding untreated wood, such as oak or some hardwoods (eg merbau frames, stairs, etc.) can be a crime, especially if you are going to work. With white chalk paint The discoloration can drive you to despair. And that applies again for all chalk paint and other paints are water based.
The moral of the story? Use common sense. Keep in mind that paint likes to have a somewhat black ground beetles porous and non-greasy surface. Take advantage of the information on our website, in my book and on this blog. And when in doubt; mail us.
