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

I bought these paints to use on terra cotta pots that had salt stains. I sanded off the excess salt and found these paints had excellent coverage in one coat. I used them because I wanted to maintain porosity of the pots to allow the plants to breathe. These paints worked great and I love the vibrant colors. Highly recommended.

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.
