Krylon K04217000-13 Chalky Finish Half-Quart, 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Clear

My husband and I are a professional DIY duo. When we built our fireplace and built-ins, I had a very specific look in mind for the mantle and the shelves. I have worked with wood stain several times in the past and the process is messy and takes way too long, especially when you have many other projects in the works like we do. I discovered a hack that completely transformed the way we do wood finishes. I even used this to turn my friend’s black metal door into a wood looking door (see pictures).First, sand down the wood or whatever material you are using. Next, paint a light coat of Behr’s “Burnished Clay” matte/flat paint all over the surface (brush strokes will resemble wood grain, so be mindful of how you paint it on). Once dried, go in with this wax using a fiber-cloth towel for a light natural wood finish (if you want a rich, darker finish, use a small regular dish towel). And then finish with polyurethane. The entire process from start to finish is less than 2 hours. SOOO much faster, better, and less messy than using stain.Trust me. You will thank me later.**ALWAYS wear rubber gloves when using this product. If you don’t, your hands will be stained for weeks.

Nice color, goes on nice, gives perfect effect to my craft projects.

Great coverage, but it kicks out a lot of powder that gets in surprising places, so make sure you cover your patio or balcony very thoroughly and use a mask if you have any breathing issues. Color is true to the cap and a little went a long way. Be careful how thick you apply because it'll drip because it's heavy. No need to sand either. SHAKE WELL! I've read comments saying it wasn't covering, I suspect they under shook the can, and didn't give it an occasional shake during spraying sessions as well. The contents are heavy and powdery so must be thoroughly shaken to mix all of the settled ingredients. I did a short stool with amazing coverage in 1 coat.

It is slightly more matte than Montana Black Serrento Blue but is miles away from being an Ultramarine color. Good coverage, good paint, just not the specific color I need.

I painted some old black frames with a light beige color first and then used this on top to give the frames a light "wood" color. I wasn't going for an antique look so I was nervous but I think it turned out perfectly. It's also very forgiving for a beginner. I brushed it on lightly with a cheap wire paint brush and wiped it off quickly with a lint free cloth. Work it in sections so it doesn't dry too quickly. This is 2 coats and it gives the perfect drift wood tone.

Cool paint. Looks chaulky as described

Very simple and easy to use. I applied 1 coat of this to my dark brown mirror frame after I coated it 2 times with Rust-oleum Chalked ultra matte paint in linen white. (Highly recommended) I also purchased the brush that was recommended with that purchase. And used that same brush with the sealing wax.This clear sealing wax is thick and milky, but dries completely clear and matte! Good thing it’s thick so it doesn’t drip all over the place. The smell is not overly powerful. As I just painted it in my dining room. At first I coated it thick, but then used less of it as I worked on the frame.Less is better!!!!It dries to a matte finish and doesn’t turn yellow like some other brands I read about.I am happy with the end results! This was my first time chalking and distressing anything and it was super easy.I would chalk the piece first, distressed, and paint on the sealing wax.

I bought this spray can expecting good quality, but it has been nothing but frustrating. Despite shaking it thoroughly, it only sprays properly for about one second before just releasing gas. I have to shake it for several minutes just to get that one second of spray. The coverage is uneven, and it's impossible to use effectively.I purchased two other spray cans from a different brand at half the price, and they work flawlessly with smooth, even coverage. It's disappointing to pay more for a product that barely works. I can't even return it now, so it's money wasted. I would not recommend this product at all. 1star is more than enough for this one.
