Renaissance Furniture Paint was designed with you, your family and the environment's safety in mind.Zero VOC's (Volatile Organic Compounds) and zero emissions.There is no CA Prop 65 warning on this can.This paint does not have the dangerous chemicals that require such a warning! All this with the incredible coverage that usually only takes one to two coats on most colours! It's an easy to apply 100% acrylic coating in a chalky smooth finish with excellent hide and durability.This paint is versatile enough for distressed old world as well as high gloss contemporary styles.It's specifically designed for wood furniture and cabinets, but is also an excellent choice for new or previously painted wall board, plaster, interior masonry, metal or glass.
In our demonstration we are showing the most difficult surface for a light chalk finish paint to cover, Glossy dark wood.You can see the first coat using a high quality Corona Edge paint brush.The brush does make a difference.This table took us 2 hours to complete, requiring two coats then a final touch up coat for a few spots.Each coat only requires 20 minutes to dry before the next can be applied.Most of the time this colour will cover in two coats but a dark glossy wood is the hardest to cover and required some touch-up after the initial first two coats.If you use an budget paint brush it will probably require more coats as well.The last two pictures show the table with clear wax on it, let dry then dark wax was applied sparcely to give it an aged look.We use Fiddes & Son's Clear and Jocobean wax.This will look much Minwax and last much longer.Total amount of paint used to paint this table was less than half a quart.
