BEHR® Chalk Decorative Paint is an easy way to create a unique
and trendy look for your next paint project. This simple two-step
paint and wax process allows your personal style and vision to
come to life, whether you’re looking for an aged antique look or
prefer more of a vintage modern flair. The wide variety of BEHR
paint colors and BEHR Decorative Waxes make every application
completely tailored to achieve the one-of-a-kind look you desire.
BEHR Chalk Decorative Paint can be applied over most existing
surfaces with very little surface preparation and delivers a smooth
matte finish. Perfect for refreshing old and new wooden furniture,
cast stone, concrete, and even metal surfaces to create one-of-a-
kind accent pieces.
PREPARATION
The surface must be clean, free of dust, grease, wax, peeling
paint, mold or mildew. If washing is necessary, use a non-soapy
detergent or a TSP substitute. Rinse well and allow to dry.
†
Peeling or Checked Paint: Scrape off loose paint and sand to
a smooth surface. Sanding or removal of paint containing lead
is hazardous.
*Glossy Surfaces: For maximum adhesion, scuff sand the
surface thoroughly before painting.
APPLICATION
Eye protection is recommended. For best results, use at room
temperature. Cover adjacent areas to protect from overspray.
Shake can vigorously for one minute after mixing ball begins to
rattle and often during use. Hold can upright, moving from side-
to-side while spraying lightly and evenly about 12” from area
being painted. Two to three thin coats produce best results.
CLEAN-UP & DISPOSAL
Clear spray valve immediately after use by turning can upside
down and spraying until only clear gas is released. If spray
nozzle becomes clogged, remove and clean. Do not stick pins or
wire into can opening. Clean fresh overspray with mineral spirits
or paint thinner. Remove dried paint with paint remover, but
test small area first to ensure paint remover does not damage
substrate. Please consider donating any unused product. For
recycling or disposal information contact your local household
refuse collection service.
