Review on 🎨 Rust-Oleum 329598 Ultra Matte Interior Chalked Paint 30 oz, 30 Fl Oz (1-Pack) by Marvin Perry

This is an overview of coated paints, glazes and an ultra-matt top coat. I ran a marathon painting furniture, using multiple colors and experimenting with icing and a clear top coat. Here's what I learned: First, I highly recommend this color line if you're ready to look desperate. If you are looking for aged painted furniture, you will be well served here. If you prefer a permanent finish, please don't waste your time and money on this paint. You need something else. The main reason for this is that while you can get a consistent color by applying multiple coats, once you apply the top coat, everything changes. The top coat unfortunately strips and shifts the color a bit, but that's enough to detract from the durable finish. Also, as the LAST step, I recommend waiting for the whetstone. Don't do this until you have your top coat on. What I found was that I had aged my piece to my liking and when I then applied the top coat it was peeling off the paint meaning my barely visible 'aged' areas ended up as bare patches. I no longer have gradual/nuanced transitions to the brush stroke and it just wasn't appealing. I had to go back to my problem areas and drybrush to "fix" it, but it wasn't the same. Waiting for disaster as a final step would be a much wiser choice. It is also true that the top coat will yellow your paint. Something to be aware of. About colors: Linen white is absolutely white. In my opinion too sharp, almost fluorescent. I mixed it with chiffon cream to get a nicer and softer white. A 50-50 mix still gives true white, but it's much nicer than flax white alone. The chiffon cream itself seems Easter yellow to me. Calm blue is good. It's like the kind of blue you might imagine in a beach house. In my opinion, this is the most successful color from this color line. Aged gray is fine, but can appear a bit bluish in certain lighting conditions. I think this is a good option to create worn vintage items. The color goes very well with this look. Glazes are disappointing. The aged glaze looked like I had rolled my piece of furniture in dirt. I've seen this look work if you're creating a driftwood look, for example, and want an "earthy" tone. Otherwise I would stay away from it. The smoked glaze was interesting, the streaks it created weren't objectionable, but I felt it darkened the original colors too much. I honestly can't recommend any of the frostings. If you want that "look," I really recommend experimenting with it on an unimportant piece of wood or furniture before applying it to anything important you've worked hard on. Again due to the way the finish shifts/removes color. , it works well for the distressed look. But disaster is your last step!
