How To Apply Chalk Wall Paint To A Wall

What You’ll Need:

• Chalk wall paint
• A roller and a brush
• Sandpaper or a sponge
• Cristaux de Soude

Step 1: Smooth Down The Surface And Clean

Like all paint, chalk wall paint works best when it is applied to a well prepared surface that isn’t rough or bumpy. The prep you do will serve you well by ensuring a smoother finish and great coverage that you’ll love.

Clean the wall with sugar soap to remove and dirt, grease or nicotine. Rinse and allow to dry. Then look for defects or holes and fill as required.

Sand down any rough or uneven patches including any areas you have needed to fill – you can use an electric sander but hand sanding is usually sufficient.

Once you’re happy with the wall’s surface area, it’s time to put some paint on your roller and move onto the next step.

Step 2: Apply With A Roller And A Brush For Cutting In

You can use a paintbrush for the whole project if you prefer, but Frenchic chalk wall paint is perfect for a roller too so this speeds things up! Paint about 5cm around the edges where the walls meet each other and the ceiling with a brush – called ‘cutting in’ – as you go, before painting that area with the roller.

Applying couldn’t be simpler. Make sure your roller has plenty of paint on it.

The paint has fabulous coverage and may not look like it needs 2 coats but we recommend two – you only need to wait a couple of hours between coats. When it’s done, there’s only one more thing to do.

Step 3: Let It Dry

All that’s left to do is let the paint dry.
