Hello Hobby Chalk Acrylic Paint, Ultra Matte, Vintage Blue, 8 fl oz #40532

This is the best chalk acrylic paint I have ever tried. Once I had cleaned and sanded the piece of furniture the whole process was a breeze. There is only one thing I didn't like about this paint and it is that I only liked how it looks when using a round brush to apply the paint. When I used the regular flat brush - that I usually use to cover more at once - it didn't look nice to me. It is not because of the brush marks. It is because it makes too strong gaps between brush strokes. It is like lifting the paint again out of the furniture after I just put it on if that makes sense. But if you are looking for a weathered look I would say that you definitely should use a regular flat brush and it will look amazing. As if you have bought the piece of furniture at the store already with the weathered look. I really love this Ruby color. It looks amazing. I am a person that likes more things to look shiny but I didn't mind this opaque look once the piece was finished. The instructions say you have to wait at least 2 hours between coats but in my case, it was dried in 45 minutes. It also says you can use a roller but I didn't try it cause I didn't have one available. Anyway, I would definitely recommend this Hello Hobby chalk ruby color paint.

This Hello Hobby Chalk paint goes on shiny but definitely dries to a matte finish. It is a good amount for a small painting project. Stirring to mix it is recommended, but for me, it didn't need much stirring, just ready to go! I had a glass bottle that I wanted to paint (as seen in the pictures) and it went on easily. The top screws back on so it won't dry out.
