Review on 🎨 Deco Art ADC-17 Americana Chalky Finish Paint, 8-Ounce, Vintage, Multi-color by Amanda Castillo

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great product misleading color

Overall this is a great product. Easy to apply, easy to clean and the result is beautiful. I bought this to renovate an old dresser I found at a thrift store and two coats of dented wood looked like new. The aftertaste is pleasant, velvety. I also bought a clear creamy wax to rub in gently as a form of protection and it didn't seem to affect the color at all. The only reason I don't give this product 5 stars is because of the misleading advert about the color. I chose "vintage" because when I saw it in person in stores and on an online sample, it turned out to be a grey-green color that I really liked. So I was a bit disappointed when the color actually came out paler than anything else. Other reviewers here mentioned that it was blue, so maybe if I had read a little more beforehand I would understand. Despite this, the paint looks green before application, the sticker on the can looks green, and the online sample looks green. All this together leads to the idea that it should be green! Still, it's a great product and I'm completely satisfied. But I might end up repainting if I ever find a chalk paint this grey-green!

Pros
  • A color that creates a unique chalky matte finish that gives the piece a vintage European look and feel
Cons
  • Something different
