A beginner-friendly chalk mineral paint that self-levels nicely and sticks to almost anything, though you will want a topcoat to seal it.
Pros
- Self-leveling formula lays down smooth, so beginners get an even finish with little effort
- Sticks to wood, laminate, plastic, glass, and more with no sanding or priming
- Big color selection and small sample sizes make it cheap to test before committing
Cons
- Sold mostly online and through independent retailers, not big-box stores
- Chalk finish is porous and needs a separate clear coat or Gator Hide to resist stains and wear
- Thin first coat can look streaky, and most pieces need two coats for full coverage
