About Talens Art Creation Vintage Chalk

Vintage Chalk is a trendy chalk paint with a matt finish, highly suitable for wooden grounds and intended for interior use. The paint is very opaque and ideal for giving interiors a vintage look. Upcycle old furniture and (home) accessories and give them a second life. The paint should be applied with a soft brush or smooth roller. Once dry you can create an old look by sanding lightly. Add Crackle Medium over top for a craquelé effect (cracks) in the paint layer!
