Chalky paint, Behr’s chalk decorative paint with Jodi Marks

In recent years it’s become popular to refinish furniture to create an aged, antique look using Chalk Paint. This paint is thick, so it doesn’t drip easily and covers well, with very little preparation. Specialty painters often mix their own formulas to achieve a flat finish that can be sanded to create a distressed look. But now BEHR Chalk Decorative Paint makes it easy for DIYers to create a trendy look with less hassle. You simply apply the paint, distress the surface if desired and then apply the decorative wax. What you get is a flat sheen with a velvety smooth finish. The paint is tint-able to over 500 colors and the buttery formula is easy to apply on old and new wooden furniture, cast stone, concrete, and even metal surfaces. That means you don’t have to be pro to get professional results and create one-of-a-kind accent pieces.  For more information on Behr’s Chalk Decorative Paint log on to homedepot.com.
