Lost & Found Decor

Whether you want to just change the color with a new coat of chalk paint or try out a different type of paint, here's the perfect guide for you!

The wax MUST be removed

Wax acts as a resist, and just about any paint you put over wax will not adhere well.

1

2

Check for grease or dirt

I always clean my pieces with the Fusion TSP Alternative before I paint.

3

Do you need sandpaper? 

If you can see a shine or gloss on your piece, it will be helpful to give it a quick scuff with a  mid-grit sandpaper.

4

Get painting!

If you have a chalk painted piece you’re ready to repaint, I hope you found this helpful.
