The coverage on the spray painted chair was thinner so it seemed to come off easier. The regular chalk paint dried to more of a matte finish, while the spray paint chair dried to a semi-gloss finish.ĭistressing: I was able to distress both chairs with sandpaper.The spray paint worked great to get in all the little curves. As you can see I didn’t get them fully covered, but that was ok because I planned to distress the chair anyway. The regular chalk paint was harder to get into all the scrolling and details of the chair.

It took another full can of spray paint for the second coat, but it probably could have looked even better with a third coat of paint. The second coat gave significantly more coverage for the chair done with regular chalk paint, while the chair done with spray paint wasn’t quite as heavy ( you can still see the wood grain on that chair).It only took about 10 minutes to do the second coat with spray paint, while painting the chair with regular chalk paint took about 25 minutes. Again the spray paint went on must faster.Even though both paints are in the color Linen White, the chair done with regular paint was a brighter white while the spray paint looked to have more of a gray undertone in person.For the spray painted chair, you can still see the wood grain if you look closely at the seat, but the application otherwise was very even. I got more coverage with the regular chalk paint, but it was super streaky as you can see.It was also much more difficult to get worked into all the little curves and details in the chair. The regular chalk paint took about twice as long to apply and there were noticeable streaks after one coat.It took one entire can of spray paint to cover the chair. After one coat there were no streaks, but some noticeable lines that are typical with spray paint. It also filled in around the scrolling and details of the chair a lot easier. The spray paint went on super quick and it was especially easy to use for the tricky spindles and legs ( which are super annoying to paint).Then they were ready to go! Here’s how they looked after the first coat of paint: I simply cleaned them up with hot soapy water to get off any dust or junk. That’s the big benefit of chalk paint–no sanding. Pretty good find, right?! Since I’m using chalk paint I did nothing to prep the chairs. And here are the chairs I scored at my local Goodwill for $5 each. Grab a snack or maybe a caffeinated beverage if you’re into that kind of thing and let’s get to it.Īll righty, here’s what I’m using–the Rust-Oleum chalky spray paint and the Rust-Oleum Chalk Paint both in the color Linen White. Then to sum it all up I’m sharing which paint I think did a better job. I’m comparing how each one looks after the first coat, then the second coat, and also after I distressed them both with sandpaper. For this review I painted one chair with the regular Rust-Oleum chalk paint and another chair with the chalky spray paint. So when I recently found a set of four dining chairs at my local Goodwill for $5 each I knew it was go time. I’ve had this review on my to-do list for a while now because I was curious about how these two paints would do side by side on an identical piece of furniture. Today I am sooooo excited to be doing a full review and comparison between the Rust-Oleum chalky spray paint versus the regular Rust-Oleum chalk paint. Howdy ho and happy Monday to you! How was your weekend? I hope you’re feeling bright eyed and ready to take on the week with vigor and zest.
