Revainrating 4 out of 5

Beautiful finish best in my review

So here are some personal pros and cons to this product.Pros, the finish is a fantastic satin finish. This paint seems to smooth out the brush strokes on it own as it dries. So awesome! Almost an air brushed look without all the extra work! Probably the best chalk type paint that I've ever used before. I ordered the forest green and was not disappointed in the color. (Also, I've tried several different brands of chalk paint over the years; this by far has the competitors beat. Even over Dixie Belle if you can believe that!) So, I would 100% recommend this product.Now for the Cons,I feel this is a bit expensive for what it was and the quart I received was about 3/4 to an inch from a full can.It took 3 good coats to completely cover my walnut pieces, whereas other chalk paints are thicker and do the job in two coats. (Why 4 stars rating)However, once dried, the paint appeared to have a nice sheen to it as though I had already waxed it. So that was a pleasant surprise. The brush strokes seemed to dissappear like magic, totally didn't expect that!All in all, i'd say I'd definitely use this brand over any others in the future.P.s I haven't waxed anything yet, so will add pic and suggestions as to go with a wax, or a clear top coat in future. stay tuned.
