How to Get a Smooth Finish With Annie Sloan Chalk Paint

[@s.c3773]

I would also use a 'tack' cloth after sanding (on any paint), to remove dust and bits etc. Little used these days, but oh what a difference they make.

so helpful. I want to do a marble effect on a countertop and I realized the texture of my paint was too "rustic" to look like marble

[@Recreateddesigns]

I'm so glad it helped. Yes, for a marble look you definitely want something super smooth and even a bit of a shine looks good too. have fun!

Hi Lisa, I bought a custom piece but really want to make it shinier. Would commercial polish help?

[@Recreateddesigns]

Hi Tanya, it will really depend on what kind of finish is on the piece currently. Do you have any idea what it is finished with or can you attach a couple of pictures? I'm happy to help.

how to prepare a leather rocker for chalk paint??? thank you

[@Recreateddesigns]

Hi Kathleen, typically you would want to give the leather a good cleaning and a sanding with some gritty sand paper. After that the Annie Sloan should stick to the leather.

[@kathleenbrown6734]

@@Recreateddesigns Ok tx. Will it stay soft though?? Thank you.

[@Recreateddesigns]

@@kathleenbrown6734 Hi Kathleen, any painted leather will have a texture to it and may crack over time. The wax will help it stay soft but just the nature of paint will make it crunchier sadly.

or.... just use a roller no brush at all.

[@Recreateddesigns]

I haven't found a roller yet that didn't leave stipple marks which can be just as annoying to some people as brush marks. If there is one out there, hopefully I'll come across it.
