I bought this paint after reading a Pinterest article and I have to say they were spot on in the fact the paint is much easier to use and gives a better finish than chalk paint, I mixed 2 colours together to create the colour I wanted, lamp white and little lamb, it gave me the perfect grey/blue that I was looking for, I was covering a dark wood box and it only required 2 coats with no prep, also I used ash and cranberry fusion (not mixed) to stencil a French verse on the lid, I used a little of the Pearl metallic wax to add that little extra special touch and it turned out fabulous, the box used as a jewellery box has pride of place on my chest of draws in my French inspired bedroom, I would most definitely use this paint on all my projects in the future
