Waverly Inspirations Chalk Paint, Ultra Matte, Lacquer, 8 fl oz

My mother and I love to craft. We always use Waverly chalk paint. The Waverly Inspirations Chalk Paint, Ultra Matte, Ocean is the most beautiful blue I have found in paint. We use the Waverly chalk paint to do the first coat on almost everything we paint. It covers exceptionally well and can be left as is or painted over with acrylic paint. The flow of the paint is perfect. Not thick but not thin. The pigment load leads to a vibrant color. I would not want to craft without Waverly!

I had never used chalk paint before, so I tried three different brands to see which brand performed the best. I bought similar shades of pink in all three brands for a more accurate comparison. This Waverly brand was BY FAR the BEST chalk paint of the three brands I tried - which were: Dixie Bell, Waverly, and FolkArt Chalk Paint. This Waverly chalk paint covered in one coat of paint and provided perfect, even coverage. I used this pink paint over a black surface, and it covered the black with NO problems. The Dixie Bell chalk paint required three coats in order to cover both a black and a white surface - THREE coats to get the same coverage as the Waverly in ONE coat. The FolkArt Chalk Paint performed the WORST. It barely covered the white or black surfaces - I gave up on the FolkArt Chalk Paint after applying five coats and still not 100% coverage. I HIGHLY recommend the Waverly Chalk Paint! It is so easy to apply, provides even, full coverage, and clean-up is a breeze. I definitely plan on buying more colors of the Waverly Chalk Paint - I just wish Walmart carried more of these colors in stock.
