Rust-Oleum 302599 Chalked Protective Topcoat Spray Paint, 12 oz, Matte Clear

Firstly, I’ve been experimenting quite a bit with chalk finish paint to refresh some outdoor furniture before hosting a baby shower. I have found Rustoleum’s Chalked line of spray paint to have the best quality, appearance, and overall texture compared to most other paints. The fact that it’s offered in a spray paint form also makes it less messy and fairly more hassle-free than most all of the other options available also.I used the Blush Pink shade to refinish this old little side table I use for plants. The table was originally finished in a dark red cherry wood tone but appears to be made from composite materials as it’s very lightweight and the wood finish could be sanded off easily.I cleaned the table off and then very lightly sanded the shiny sheen off of it where I could, without being too worried about getting it all off and without removing the cherry wood tones. I then sprayed it with three light coats of the paint. If there where any drips or accidentally thick spots of the paint, I hit them with a foam mini paint roller immediately after spraying to incorporate them better. Drying time was very quick- it only took 10-15 mins for each light coat to be dry to the touch, but I still gave each coat about an hour total outside in 77 degree sunshine to dry (probably unnecessary though). I’m ordering the chalked top matte coat to finish off the piece and will probably hit it it with a sealer too before putting it back outside.However, at this point, I’m very happy with the results! I wanted a subtle shade of pink but was mostly shooting for any kind of boho-looking light-colored chalk finish so I was flexible. This paint goes on very stark white-looking, but then seems to settle into a light pink shade after drying out fully.It has great coverage, though I did use one whole can on this one table. Still worth the $10 for the end result. Overall, I’d definitely recommend this product!

I love this paint! The regular liquid paint is great but this is bees knees! No, for real! Ok so I painted my end tables with the liquid version of the rustoleum chalked pain and the spray paint in “white”. Too white. Waaaaayyy too white. So I ordered the “Chiffon cream” and it’s perfect! It’s the perfect farmhouse white. Oh also, I did not sand or prep the tables at all other than using an all purpose cleaner and a rag to wipe them down before initially painting them. They were a medium tone wood with some sort of shiny sealer (I believe they were from the 1960’s, they were my grandmas).It’s a matte finish so keep in mind you’ll see wherever you spray too close bc those spots will be shinier. Also drip marks are a given. But that’s why this is so awesome, you just take your sanding block and rub it off when it’s dry. It took about a can per table (shown in pic). I recommend buying an extra can in case you need it. Our local hardware store (H—- D——) doesn’t carry this color so be prepared!2 coats might be enough but I did 3 to be sure I got the coverage I wanted.Chiffon cream on left and the white on the right in the picture.Every time I purchase something online, I always check the reviews.

Love this chalk spray paint. Great coverage

Excellent product and beautiful color. Very pleased.

Rust-Oleum Spray Paint always deliver in the color it is supposed to be, the spray pattern is always even, and they paint adheres with minimal running.

I painted three tables (no priming, sanding, etc.), because I’m not a perfectionist. Two of those were rattan, which was a little tricky, but they all turned out great! Make sure you’re working in a very-well ventilated area. I did mine outside on big pieces of cardboard. WORD OF CAUTION: My first can stopped working after I took a break to let it dry some. The company was very quick to respond, but I found a solution within an hour. You may need to remove the nozzle and soak in solvent or paint thinner to get it working again. Of course, I had neither, so used isopropyl alcohol. It did the trick. Also. If you’re doing a large project with multiple cans, save your used nozzles—just in case the soaking doesn’t do the trick. I used CHARCOAL. I’m not handy at all, but this was super-easy!! I don’t know how they’ll hold up with scratches, since I didn’t prime, but I don’t have small children who might test the boundaries.

Bad can of Chalk Paint. Contacted the company, explained what happened, they gave me a full refund on the product.

I used the serenity blue spray paint to paint an old, two tiered wicker cat basket that sits prominently on my balcony. It's the F.O.'s (Fluffy Overlord's) throne, so it is perched in full view on the left corner of my balcony, eye level to the front door and anyone coming, going, or passing by on the sidewalk in front. The basket had been a screaming turquoise blue for many years, but sitting in all kinds of weather it had begun to flake and generally look quite shabby. We have a rather persnickety HOA board, and I know the basket must have started grating on some nerves. I can't find a similar replacement basket for the life of me, so I picked out this paint, and I figure it will give it a classy new vibe and hopefully protect it from the weather for many more years to come. I wasn't in any way careful or methodical in preparing it to be sprayed. No sanding, priming or anything. I just gave it a good shake to get off any detritus, slapped down a few flattened cardboard boxes to catch the overspray, and went to town. The paint went on smoothly, dried quickly, and looks great. Note that it will spray on glossy and lighter than it will look when dry. It will turn matte and darken a bit as it dries. I'm sure it will last plenty long to suit my purposes. Hopefully F.O. approves. *fingers crossed*
