Silky Patina & Chalky Patina
What's the Difference ?
Chalky Patina is Perfect for that
French Country Vintage Distressed look that is so desired !!!
Bluestone House™"Chalky Patina Paint" is the Best ! I know because I created it, after
trying many different formulas. This unique product is not like anything
else !
Chalky Patina has natural Canadian chalk minerals added to give you...
- a matte chalk- like finish
- incredible adhesion
- amazing durability
- no priming - no stripping - no pre-sanding
- ultimate coverage
- ultra low VOC's
- can be sand distressed or wet distressed
- virtually no smell
- 100% acrylic water-based paint with Chalk !
- soap & water clean up
- little to no brush marks when drying
- quick drying - re-coat the same day !
- Canadian !!!
- indoor / outdoor
Chalky Patina usually covers in one coat - the second, if you choose to do one, is a light quick coat. Whites usually require 2 coats.
The most amazing part about this wonderful paint is that because of the chalk, the finish is slightly rough, and when sanded to smooth out the finish and/ or distressed, the paint crumbles away instead of scratching the piece, hence giving you a time worn appearance rather than a sanded one.
Chalky needs to be lightly sanded to give you a smooth finish before using a topcoat. I always use our Signature Bluestone House™ Beeswax, as I find it is the best finish for durability and sheen.
Silky Patina is Perfect for that French Country clean look !!!
Silky Patina is just that !
Goes on like with a silky smooth finish.
- incredible adhesion to unfinished pieces
- amazing durability
- no priming - no stripping
- ultimate coverage
- ultra low VOC's
- virtually no smell
- 100% acrylic water-based paint
- soap & water clean up
- little to no brush marks when drying
- can be rolled
- quick drying - re-coat the same day !
- can be wet distressed
- Canadian !!!
- indoor / outdoor
Silky Patina is amazing on unfinished or porous pieces, but does require some pre-sanding on previously painted surfaces. Just a light scuff - NO STRIPPING. Silky has no chalk in it at all ! It goes on very smooth and can be rolled as well. Silky requires a cure time. That means when you have finished your project & are happy with it - do not put anything on it or use it for a few days. Although it does require a cure time, it does not require a topcoat ! The finish has a lovely sheen comparable to an eggshell finish. Having said that, a clear varnish can be applied for extra protection.
I always use our Signature Bluestone House™ Beeswax, as I find it is the best finish for durability and sheen.
Which one should I use?
That is totally up to you depending on the final outcome you are trying to achieve, how much use it will get & how effort you are willing to give.
Which one is better ?
They are two entirely different products with different outcomes, the question is which one is better for you ?
Are the colours the same ?
The colours are the same for both the Silky & Chalky although because one is matte and one has a sheen, they will catch the light differently and may look a little different.
