Paint Couture Chalk Style Paint is water based, Ultra Low VOC formulated for interior and exterior use.  It provides excellent leveling and coverage with a built in primer and topcoat.  Our Chalk Style Paint is mold and mildew resistant and is specifically formulated for furniture and cabinets.  It has excellent adhesion capability to existing painted or varnished surfaces.  With Paint Couture, there is usually no sanding and no priming.  It is easy to apply and can be blended.  The ease of use and being easily distressed, our Chalk Style Paint is a great choice for all of your project needs.  It dries to a flat finish. 

Paint Couture Chalk Style Paint dries very quickly and becomes very hard.  For an added durable finish, use Extreme Guard Topcoats.  Our Paint Couture Glaze or Topcoat is recommended for added durability but not required.  A unique feature of Paint Couture is that you can use our glaze directly on our paint once dry with no need for a topcoat in between.  Clean up is easy with just soap and water.

Preparation: Clean furniture or cabinets using Paint Couture Fresh Start.  A light sanding is recommended on glossy surfaces using 220 grit sanding paper or sanding pad.  Remove wax with mineral spirits.

Kitchen Cabinet Preparation: In addition to the steps above, use denatured alcohol to remove grease and grime.

Application: Paint Couture Paint may be brushed, rolled, or sprayed.  Two coats are recommended.  A one hour dry time is recommended between coats of paint under normal conditions, 50°-90°F.  Applying Paint Couture Glaze after four hours will add depth to your work.  Use Paint Couture Premium Plus 2-in-1 Bonding and Blocking Primer for non-wood surfaces or for wood that may bleed through paint because of tannins.  Paint Couture Topcoats are recommended for heavy interior use or our Extreme Guard Topcoat for outdoor use.  Our Extender can be used to increase the dry time of our paints, metallics, glazes, and topcoats by adding small amounts, not to exceed 15%.
