Frequently asked questions

Correct. Chalk It! is a true all-in-one paint formulated to grip directly to clean surfaces. Just wipe away dust and grease and start painting. For very glossy or slick surfaces, a light scuff can help, but it isn't required for most projects.

Wood, metal, ceramic and tile, glass, plastic, and iron. It's ideal for furniture, cabinets, hardware, planters, vases, picture frames, patio sets, and more — indoors and out.

Each 630 ml (21.30 fl oz) jar covers roughly 110 sq ft — enough for about 8 chairs, 1 dining table, 6 cabinet doors, or 2 doors. Coverage varies with surface type and number of coats.

No. Unlike traditional chalk paints, Chalk It! cures to a hard, durable matte finish on its own — no wax or sealer required. For high-traffic surfaces you may add a clear top coat if you prefer extra protection.

About 30 minutes to the touch. We recommend waiting an hour or two between coats for best results, and allowing the piece to cure fully before heavy use.

Yes. Chalk It! is water-based with ultra-low VOC and low odor, and contains no heavy metals or harsh solvents — a great choice for nurseries, furniture, and family spaces.
