Surface Preparation
One of the advantages of Mezzie + Frank Chalk Effects Paint is its self-priming nature, which minimises the need for extensive preparation. However, for optimal adhesion and finish, consider the following steps:
- Clean the Surface: Remove dust, grease, and grime using a mild detergent and water. Ensure the surface is dry before painting.
- Sand if Necessary: While sanding is often unnecessary, lightly sanding glossy or uneven surfaces can enhance paint adhesion.
- Repair Imperfections: Fill any holes or cracks with appropriate filler and sand smooth once dry.
Painting Steps
- Mix Paint: Ensure the paint is well-mixed before application.
- First Coat: Apply the first coat evenly, following the grain of the wood or the direction of the surface. Allow it to dry completely, typically within 1-2 hours.
- Second Coat: Apply a second coat if necessary for full coverage. This coat will also dry within 1-2 hours.
M + F Chalk Effects can be applied with a paintbrush, paint roller or paint sprayer.
Sealing
Hardy Clear Coat: A pure acrylic sealer that intensifies the base colour and provides a low-sheen, matte finish. It's ideal for high-traffic areas like tabletops and floors. Apply one or two coats with a brush, roller or sprayer, allowing at least two hours between coats. For darker colours, thin the first coat with 25% water to prevent milkiness.
Gilly's Carnauba Polish: A fast-drying wax finish rich in carnauba and beeswax, offering a high sheen when buffed. It's suitable for decorative pieces and can be applied with a cloth in a circular motion, then buffed after 20–30 minutes. Up to three coats can be applied for increased protection and shine.
