Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Tutorial - Painting Vinyl Seats for Dining Room Chairs
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ก.ค. 2017
- Hi Everyone! 💖
I am so excited to bring you this tutorial about how I painted my vinyl cushions and chair backs for my formal dining room table. A few months ago I painted my dining room table with Behr Alkyd Paint and I decided to paint my cushions with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint and see how it would work on this slick surface.
Here is the video for that tutorial:
• How to Paint Your Dini...
I was pleasantly surprised. I ended up using a Clear gloss from Rustoleum over the chalk paint and it did very well. The Annie Sloan clear wax didn't work out for me on this project.
So far, after a few months, the cushions that I used the wax on and then painted the gloss on afterwards, did worse that the ones that I didn't use the wax on and just used the gloss.
Overall, it was an amazing product that performed very well! I would definitely use it again.
I used Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Paris Grey and
Rust-Oleum Painters Touch Ultra Cover in Clear Gloss

I absolutely can appreciate the honesty in this video. I’m not downing the chalk paint but other people on TH-cam swear by this when painting furniture. I loved the fact that you gave an update and showed how there are imperfections but still look nice. However I did love the turnout 😊
Hi Nareen! I appreciate your great comment! I was having a tough time finding any videos on painting vinyl, only fabrics, so I thought it would be a great video to make. It's not perfect, but I can sure live with it :) Thanks for watching! 🌸💖😊
I appreciate that you showed us the actual results the mistakes you made and how you corrected them. Job well done! 👍🏾
Thank you so much! 😁🙌🏻
Best and most informative video I've seen on chalk paint on fabrics. Thanks for showing the sealing process and the updates.
Thank you so much! The seats that I waxed and sealed peeled and those are the only ones that have had any issues with. I recommend sealing with a satin finish, if you decide to do this project and don't use wax. 😘💖
Love the contrast of the light grey with the white it looks so much softer. Very pretty💖
I love the bean cans!! What a great idea.
Haha! Thank you! 🌸💖😊
Great video. Thank you for the update! Dining room table look beautiful.
Thank you so much! I appreciate that. It still looks beautiful 🤩
Thank you for your honesty to show the flaws as well
You are so welcome, Sonia! Not every project turns out the way we expect. Gotta show the challenges, too! Thank you so much for watching and commenting! I really appreciate it so much! 🌸💖 Happy Fall! 🍁
Thank you for sharing. I was thinking about doing this and you've saved me a ton of work. I think I will opt for recovering. So grateful. Also, great score on the dining set. Beautiful result.
Thank you for commenting! I would definitely opt for recovering 👍🏻😁 Painting is a good option, but not as long lasting. Have a great wonderful day!
Brilliant video ur honesty is appreciated will save us all money and time ❤️
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it 😁💖
WoW! They look so different! You are a good painter!
Thank you! 🌸💖
A for your effort and thank you very much for your honesty about the little setbacks and glitches.
Thank you Enat! I still love it and it’s holding up very well. Happy New Year! 🎊 😁
Very good information and the 3 month look was also great. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Looks beautiful!👍👍😍😍
Thank you so much! 🌸💖 I am so happy the way they turned out! Yay!
Actually very helpful tutorial so that we know what works and what doesn't 👍🏻
Just what i was looking fr..m so greatful n thank u for ur honesty n effort of making this vdo..
Its stunning.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Glad I could help 😁👍🏻
Looks fantastic! I love it & now I'm going to paint my chairs! Btw, you have beautiful hair!
Thank you Wanda! I love your name, btw...it was my grandma's name 💖 When paining the chairs cushions, just know that they will crack a little when sat on. I kind of like they way they are aging and looking a little shabby. Best of luck with your project! Thanks for your sweet compliment 🌸💖
Looks great! I appreciate your creativity. You remind me of myself trying new things and I like your honesty because that is what happens in real life projects. I like the cans to prop up things. I do the same thing with paint cans. Keep being creative! :)
Haha! Thank you Lisa! Every project seems to have a few glitches! Thank you for watching and commenting! I appreciate it! 🌸💖😊
Thank you for doing updates and progression/wear and tare overtime
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching!
Terrific ideas about how to thin the second coat, and sanding hint!
Makes it sooo much easier!
Very beautiful!!
Thank you Julie 😘
I think they look great!!
Thank you Melis 😘💖
Good idea! Black pillows on the chair look very heavy to the room. I love your choice blends nicer with the decoracion. you have the best taste in your ideas. Gracias!
Thank you so much! I really think it brought a lot of light to the room. Thanks for watching! 💖😊
Thank you for all the tips! I was thinking of paining the vinyl of my tufted head board and this really helps! As for the poly, if you want less of a sheen, they make a Matte poly sealer which will keep that flat chalk paint look as well as a Satin (my personal fav which gives it a low sheen but not a glossy look. Happy Crafting!
Thanks for commenting! I really appreciate it so much. As far as the Matte sealer, I totally would have picked out that particular one, but I had the other in my garage and was just wanting to get it done. Haha. Great advice for sure! Thank you! 👍🏻😁
New to your channel! and Thank You SOOO much for sharing. I just bought a nice chair for $1!! And wanted to try painting it.
That’s so cool! Thanks for stopping by and have fun painting! 😘💖🙌🏻
Thanks for sharing the 3 month update. I was wondering how well chalk paint would hold up on a flexible surface. I will definitely look into different options for painting vinyl that gets more use. Appreciate your honest feedback!
The chairs without the wax and just with the clear coat are still doing great after all this time! Best of luck! Thanks for commenting! 💖
Hi, I love Annie Sloane products and have used her paints many times.I have four dining chairs that are upholstered in an off white fabric in the Parson chair style. I am debating about a chalk paint application on them. They are old enough that I can play around with them, but still nice enough to keep.
Hi Doogy Dog! I am loving her paint a little bit more each time I used it and the results are always so amazing! If I were you, I would probably paint them 😊 You can always slipcover them if you don't like them, as long as you can sew? Best of luck and let me know how it goes! I would love to see how they turn out. Thanks for watching and Happy Fall! 🍁💖🍁💖🍁
I am so GLAD I found this video, I have a very similar HUGE dining table with the 8 chairs and was wondering HOW was I going to do it. I have watched your table transformation which was beautiful, and I am just so excited to see you paint these cushions because that was my fear. Thanks so much for sharing!!!
Yay! Glad you found it useful! The are still going strong a few years later. Just make sure not to use the wax, they will crack. I suggest using a matte finish clear coat on top. Happy painting! Thanks for commenting!
Same here. I was very unsure about doing it, even down to the color. White was one of my options. I'm glad I saw this video, now I know I will paint it white!
Good through video! Thanks😊
Thank you for your wonderful comment! Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching! 🌸💖
Thank God you painted these nice pieces with proper alkyd paint, rather than shabby chic’ing them with cheap latex paint and a rough concrete brush, which would have turned them into trash in a year’s time or something like that... 👏👏👏👍😊
Love your honesty! I have my husband grandparents' chairs and they need major help! I want to paint them and it that doesn't work I figure I can have them reupholstered which I know will be much more expensive!! Thanks!!
Hi Jenet! No harm in trying! I used about a quarter of the can to paint the seats and backs and they are big chairs, so the cost was very minimal. Good luck with your project! You can email me a photo if you'd like when it's finished, I'd love to see how they turned out! Have fun! 🌸💖😊
Nice!!!!😀
Thanks so much!
Great video!
Thank you so much!!
I did 4 chairs, back and seat each with faux leather/vinyl and a staple gun, $50 CAD tax included! Crazy easy!
That’s so great! I wanted to do that too, but the old staples won’t come out, so that’s why I painted them. I’ve recovered all my other chairs and they always look amazing! Thanks for stopping by 😁💖
HI, Loved your video. Next time try Dupli-Color spray paint. It's a vinyl and fabric paint and its great for daily usage
I will definitely look into it. Thanks for watching!
Where can u find this spray paint?
Hi I need some advice, I guess i did not realize when i watched Jennifer Maker paint a hassock with textile medium and acrylic paint, she did it on fabric hassock and i went and did it on a vinyl hassock and while it covered great it is very sticky, she said i used the wrong paint, i have pictures of what i have done so far but I was wondering if the Fusion Mineral Paint would work over the top of what i have already done to fix this. or can i use Dupli-Color Vinyl & Fabric Paint. you can contact me a pcollette1@gmail.com and i can show you the photos. I hope i can fix this. I have watched a few videos plus the one above and now i am not sure which to use to fix this. i also need to put a stencil on the top of the seat.
Hi Patricia, I haven't worked with those paints that you are mentioning, but I would probably try the chalk paint and then a matte finish polyurethane. Maybe those others will work, too? I'm not sure. But, it would be worth a try and see what happens. As far as the stickiness, before you paint it again, try using Krud Kutter to make it less tacky. I'm not sure it will work, but I guess at this point, it's worth a try. You can send me photos at sparklyone60@gmail.com if you'd like. I'd love to see what you are talking about. Best of luck!
@@TheCherrydee25 Canadian tires or any place that sells car paint . It's usually in the car section
So happy to have found this video! I am planning to paint a bench that has a vinyl seat cushion but was wondering how the AS paint would hold up. Do you think a clear satin or matte poly would look just as nice? I'm not sure I want the cushion to have a shiny finish. I too, appreciate that you shared your experience and what worked and what didn't. I also was happy to see a three month update on how the cushions held up. Greatly appreciated! Your dining set looks beautiful.
Hi Birgit! The paint is still amazing! I would suggest a matte finish, but don’t use any wax at all. The wax is what made them crack. Keep me posted if you can 😀 Happy painting!
Yes I agree, thanks for your honesty! I've seen some videos of people using latex paint to achieve a leather look. Do you think latex paint would work better?
That's a great question. I really don't know if it would work better, but it's worth a try if you are willing. I think paints today are pretty versatile. I'm not sure if it would peel though. Keep me posted...I'm interested in the outcome 😀
I bought a wingback chair at the Goodwill store for $5 it is yellow with a blue and gold Oriental or Asian pattern of peafowl and dark navy blue stripes about every two feet so there's probably two stripes across the front of the upper part and 3 across the back. It has a removable cushion seat and it has piping all over it and it has wooden legs that are kind of a Queen Anne style. Unfortunately, I painted legs first which that wasn't very smart, so I'm going to have to paint them again. You can't grab a hold of that Big O fat round brush and swirl paint hard onto that fabric and be gentle around the edges where the legs are! I am painting it a color called Farmhouse Red. I ended up buying some Rust-Oleum chalk paint because I found it for $18 a quart. I am going to paint it and put a University of Oklahoma logo on the top part of the front. I may actually try to do an iron-on. I'm going to try a smaller one on the underside of the seat cushion to see if the heat from the iron ruins the paint. I will do it before I seal it with wax, obviously! Has anyone tried to do an iron-on on top of chalk paint? I cannot believe how well this is covering that peafowl. It is not covering those navy blue striped very well with two coats everything is completely covered except the striped but I have decided to concentrate on covering everything else and not worry if the two stripes in the front and the three in the back still go through. They are symmetrical Stripes that are half inch wide. If anyone really notices them it won't be that big of a deal. The peafowl showing through looks like there's greasy spots. You can't tell what it is and it looks horrible. 2 good coats and a light coat completely covers them. So I'm really concentrating on that. my carpal tunnel really flared up after a full code on the chair and completely finishing the seat cushion so I have stopped for a day and a half and I'm going to give it one more day in a brace with ice before I let it flare up again LOL and I have no feeling in three fingers so it's not very easy to paint LOL I have three pair of Keds tennis shoes that I love but one is called natural. And I hate them! They just look dirty. I have the white ones that I like and I have a Navy pair that I'm worn nearly out. But the natural ones are just unbleached canvas and I just feel like I'm walking around with dirty tennis shoes. So I got out my chalk paint! I was digging through all that I had and I have probably 15 colors, because I bought a bunch of the Waverly paint at Walmart. I really like the Waverly chalk paint. I came across one of the 4 oz bottles of the color Curry. I thought that would be perfect for fall and I have several articles of clothing that Curry would be perfect with and a pair of cropped jeans the curry tennis shoes and several of the different Cardigans and tunics that I have. You would not believe how cute they turned out I'm a actually try to do an iron on. I'm going to try a smaller one on the underside of the seat cushion to see if the heat from the iron ruins the paint. I will do it before I feel it with wax, obviously! Has anyone tried to do in iron on on top of chalk paint? I cannot believe how well this is covering that people. It is not covering those Navy blue stripes very well with two coats everything is completely covered except the striped but I have decided to concentrate on covering everything else and not worry if the two stripes in the front and the three and the back still show through. They are symmetrical stripes that are happy inch wide. If anyone really notices them it won't be that big of a deal. The people showing through looks like there's breezy spots. You can't tell what it is and it looks horrible. To good codes and a light coat completely covers them. So I'm really concentrating on that. My carpal tunnel really flared up after a full code on the chair and completely finishing the seat cushion so I have stopped for day and a half and I'm going to give it one more day in a brace with ice before I let it fly up again LOL and I have no feeling in 3 fingers so it's not very easy to paint LOL I have three pair kids tennis shoes that I love but one is called natural. On I hate them! They just look dirty. I have the white ones that I like and I haven't Navy Pier that I warned nearly out. But the natural when's are just humble East canvas and I just feel like I'm walking around with dirty finishes. So I got out my chalk paint! I was digging through all that I had and I have probably 15 colors, because I bought a bunch of the Waverly paint at Walmart. I really like the Waverly shop paint. I came across one of the four hours bottles of the color Curry. I thought that would be perfect for fall and I have several articles of clothing that Curry would be perfect with and a pair of crop jeans the curry tennis shoes and several of the different cardigans and tunic that I have. You would not believe how darling they're turning out!! I was half asleep when I was painting them and should not have done it when I did. I got some on the rubber around the edge. I was able to take an old toothbrush and a little bit of soap and get it right off. There were areas that was not very even and I took another larger scrub brush that looks kind of like a giant toothbrush, it has very soft bristles and I got it wet and started going over the paint. It really started blending the paint. I need to put one more water down coat on the canvas and let it dry and then I'm going to wax them. I did put some shoe strings in them and wearing the other day because I needed some shoes to wear with a particular sweater. I had three or four compliments on them and had people asking me where in the world they could get some. I told them to go buy them and then they have to bring him to me to get them custom made LOL I may start selling them too! I may as well! I sell a lot of my upcycled furniture
Thanks a lot for your honesty! I love how it look, but like you said it depends how often you use the dining set to see if it fits. In my case probably It will be bad, so I just came one dining set for our whole little house :(
You are so welcome! If you use this same paint, make sure to use a clear polyurethane on top for protection, that way I'm pretty sure it will be durable enough for everyday use. Paint is such an easy update! Thanks for watching! 😘💖
Thank you so much for this video and the updates. I was wondering if you have tried and found any paint to be better for frequently used surfaces?
Hi Kelly 😁 The chalk paint worked great, but only with the clear coat as protection. I would suggest a matte polyurethane to seal it. I don’t think I’d use any other paint for vinyl other than chalk paint. It worked great for me. Best of luck to you. Thanks for stopping by 😍😘
@@SparklyOne Thank you so much!
I think it looks great Since I bought a new place my storage company sold me some black furniture which I love the design but not knowing I was gonna get so lucky with some nice pieces I also had them bring my sofa bed out of the storage Problem is that it is deep blue so I’m gonna try the Annie chalk paint in black Hope all goes well
I’m sure they will be beautiful 😁👍🏻
loved your video, and your honesty!
Thank you Sue 😁👍🏻
Its beautiful anyway! :)
Thanks..I think..haha!!
i also used annie sloan on my chairs , it didn't last either. It cracked , it was awfull. I took it off, it was a lot of work!! Finally i painted them with special paint for leather. And they have become very beautiful.
Leather paint would be a much better choice for sure! Thanks for sharing 😀
I preferred them in the white and black.
They were actually brown and white. If they were black, I would’ve probably considered leaving them that way. I appreciate your comment though 👍🏻😁💖 Thank you for watching 😍
❣️
😘💖
I want to re do my seats this is wonderful! How have they held up so far?
Hi Katrina! They actually look pretty good. But, we don’t sit on them much. I’d say definitely don’t wax them, but you should try a matte clear spray or water based matte polyurethane brush on clear coat. It’s worth a try 😁👍🏻 Best of luck! 😘💖
💕💕LOVE💕💕
Thank you Alexa 🌸💖
I think the whole thing looks beautiful and I agree that there are some problems, as I have had them too, but like you say they are not going to get much use and look gorgeous in your home. That’s my opinion to my chair is to go upstairs it did crack in places but overall I’m pleased with end results thank you for your video ❤️
I’m so glad you commented! Thank you for stopping by and letting me know you appreciate the video 😘🙌🏻💖
That's my worry, it might crack
Mine only cracked when I waxed them before the clear coat. I did 3 that way and they look awful. The ones that just have a clear coat look amazing! Good luck to you!
Hello. When you apply the second coat and you water it down, do you suggest waiting for the first coat to dry complete before adding the water down second coat. Thanks
Hi Ashley, yes. You should wait for it to dry, but it does dry quickly. Don’t use wax over it either because it will crack. I recommend just using a matte polyurethane topcoat or two. Let me know how yours turns out 🥰
💕
😘💖🌸
I have had the same problems!!!! Nightmare. I cannot find the Rustoleum clear gloss you mentioned as I live in UK. Need to find an alternative. X
Hi Julie! Thanks for letting me know. The seats that I used the clear coat only and no wax are still doing great! I'm sure any clear coat will work. Best of luck to you! Thanks for your comment! 😘💖
Rustoleum products are available in UK. I have just been to one of B and M stores (the bigger and better stocked one) a few days ago and the have Rustoleum, I believe I have seen it in Wilko too. I went for another brand (same properties) though as I wanted a satin finish not gloss. Good luck upcycling.
I found a pleathery, vinyl chair on the side of the road that I was going to repaint for my librarian at school. There will be kids or the teacher on it daily...Do you know of any durable paint?
I would use chalk paint and a clear satin or matte polyurethane over the top. Mine still look great many years later 😀
@@SparklyOne Thanks so much!
how are the chairs holding up? do you see the paint cracking? thank you!
They are still holding up, you can still see the cracking on the ones with the wax, but the ones with the clear coat only look great.
Śliczne, pozdrawiam 👍😊
Dziękuję bardzo!
DIY paint with their sealer stays flexible. Check it out at Debi's Design Diary tutorial and see her golden glitter chair and beautiful velvet couch painted with DIY paint. Worth looking at for sure.
Thank you Sue Ann! I love Debi’s Design Diary! She’s amazing 💖😍
Is Bushes beans necessary or I can use some other beans? Lol thanks! I just thought how to liven a dining room set!!
Hi Barb!! You crack me up! I like your sense of humor! Stop by anytime! 😂😍🤓
I will! I like simple and to the point videos! I have a table with chairs to paint, i hope they come out as pretty as yours! Take care!
I'm sure it will look great! Let me know how it goes! Have fun! 😘😃
Can I use regular wall enamel on my vinyl chairs?
I’m not sure, but it could be worth a try! 😃
I've stopped using TSP for this very reason. It keeps the paint from adhering to any surface if you don't get it off the entire piece.
I think mine was more because I missed a few spots, which the 2nd coat took care of. But, that’s good to know! Thanks for sharing 😁👍🏻
This is really good to know, you probably saved me a and other people a lot of hassle. Thanks a lot!
What happens with use? When the vinal stretches and flexes as folks sit and scoot and tempture changes? Does it flake off or something? Would a die be better but it's may be too hard to die black. If that poly doesn't streach it won't work earlier
The paint hasn’t cracked from people sitting in it al all. It does stretch a little but nothing too bad. The seats that I used the wax on did not so well. They cracked and peeled, but I only did a few of them that way. Overall, I am very pleased with the way they turned out. I would not use the wax if I were to do another project though. Thanks for commenting!
Thanks so much so that's good to know. So the chalk paint worked. That's wonderful
What is the paint color on your wall. It looks like a shade of gray?
Hi Candace, I’m not sure what the color is, I don’t have the paint can anymore. I do know it has a slight undertone of brown to it though. Thanks for watching 😁🙌🏻🌸
Does the paint chip off or rub off when you sit
Hi Regina, it will if you don’t seal it with a clear coat. I don’t suggest the wax, as it made mine crack. The polyurethane in a matte finish would work perfectly 😘💖🙌🏻
I’ve scoured through many of your videos today hoping to find if you made the chalkboard in your dining room. If you purchased this can you tell me where? If you made it can you direct me to a video? I love the frames chalkboard!
Hi Mysti! I never made a video about how I made it. I probably should have. Haha. A friend gave me their giant oil painting and I loved the frame, but not the painting (she didn’t like it either) so I painted the frame white (it was gold) and painted over the oil painting with chalkboard paint. The canvas is still bumpy from the oil painting underneath it, but it gives it character 😂 This measures 4 feet by 5 feet without the frame, so it’s quite large. You can use any size oil painting and it will still look amazing! Hope this helps! Happy painting 😘💖🙌🏻
Sparkly One thank you so much!!! I actually have a painting sitting in my garage I can totally do this!!!
You are so welcome! Let me know how it goes!
Loved your work 👍. Can you please share the secret of your beautiful skin.
Aw, you are so sweet!! No one has ever asked me that before 😁 I use Cerave Hydrating Cleansing bar and a night cream and light moisturizer in the day time. I change the creams all the time and just inexpensive brands like Oil of Olay or Revlon. My face makeup is by Wet n Wild. Haha No Botox or fillers yet. Maybe someday. Thanks for the sweet comment! 😘💖
Can you do this on leather too?
I think it should, I know I’d certainly try if it were me. Haha! Maybe test it out on a spot that’s hidden first? Good luck! 👍🏻 😁
Does the paint transfer at all if it gets wet?? X
You’ll need to seal it with matte water based polyurethane
@@SparklyOne is that what the wax does? X
The wax will seal it, but it will crack when you sit on it. The polyurethane won't crack
Hi can you mix vinyl paint colors?
You can mix the chalk paint to customize your color, but this is not vinyl paint. It did work for me though. Someone suggested using Modpodge as the topcoat. I’m going to try it when I decide to fix the cushions that are peeling from the wax. Best of luck to you! 😁🙌🏻
Thank you.... that was my exact fear. I have a beat up foot stool and I was afraid it would not last... Thank you!
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching 😍💖
@@SparklyOne
Wait... So it didn't last????
Then why did you even show this video...
This is a 13 minute video... and it didn't last.
Please correct me if I'm wrong...
Hi Judi, I am correcting you...they have lasted and they look great, except the ones that I used the wax on (3 of them). They look ok, except for the peeling topcoat, the paint still looks good though. It looks like a peeling sunburn, so they need some sanding and a new topcoat, but I've been unmotivated to fix them, since they get used so little. Thanks for stopping by. Hope this helps.
@@SparklyOne
Thank you for the information...
Does it crack when you sit on it?
It doesn’t crack, but the ones that I used the wax on, those sure did. Hope that helps 😁🙌🏻
Does it crack overtime
It doesn’t crack, but the ones that I used the wax on, those sure did. Hope that helps 😁🙌🏻
@@SparklyOne omg thank you do you have messenger? I wanted to show you mine! I chose to keep the Red at the back and get my dad to just upholster the bottom but thank you so much for replying
You can email me at sparklyone60@gmail.com I'd love to see what you've done!
How long does it last?
The chairs still look great, although they have only been sat on a few times. I am going to use a flat poly over the top to tone down the shine and make them a little more durable. I don't suggest this method for something that will get a lot of use, as I think it will crack eventually. Thanks for watching! Happy Fall 🍁🌸💖
I went to an art store today to buy the paint but the lady said she doesn't recommend painting faux leather because its plastic and the paint doesn't soak into the chair it just sits on top and when you sit in it repeatedly eventually the paint will start to crack in places and they won't look good. Have you found that your knee cracks in your paint? Oh, I just watched the rest of the video and saw it cracked :(.
I would definitely use the paint again for vinyl. It was great on the cushions, except I would NOT use wax on them. Two coats of clear matte polyurethane will make them not crack and mine have held up extremely well. Best of luck! Thanks for stopping by 💖👍🏻😁
I personally would have removed the nail head trim before painting and then replaced it afterward and reupholstered the backs of the chairs with a decorative fabric that pulls together with the grey, but your chairs do look nice. Thank you for the video :).
Hi Sarah 😁 That was my plan, but I really wanted to see how the Annie Sloan paint would hold up first. Some day I’ll do the proper technique and replace all the fabrics, but I love how it turned out and I’m super happy with it for now. Thanks for watching and for your comment. I really appreciate your input 💖😘😍
Why not just mix the paint and thin it out with water I a cup for that second coat???
can you use this on leather?
Hi Jo! I'm not really sure, but if it's a piece that you are willing to try it on without fear of ruining it, I would try it. Just don't wax it, because when I did, it came off. It's all trial and error though. Best of luck! Thanks for your comment!
no, i tried it , it was a disaster
how much does it cost u
I think it was about $40 for the quart of paint. Thanks for commenting!
I think these turned out Beautiful...
It is supposed to look like warn leather...
Thanks Judi! Worn leather wasn't the goal haha...they all still look really nice, except the ones that I used the wax on....those look worn, but the other still look great.
@@SparklyOne "WORN" not warn... LOL I just realized the auto correct... Ha ha
So... you think not putting the WAX on is better?
If I had to do it over again, I would NOT have used the wax, only the clear acrylic topcoat in a Matte finish.
Try mixing Modge Podge into the paint and then paint the chairs they say Modge Podge don't crack when you make the glitter chairs so if you mix it into the paint and then paint the chairs it might not crack
What a great idea! Thank you! I wish I would’ve done that in the first place. I’ll try it on the peeling ones. I haven’t fixed those yet. Thanks again! 😁👍🏻
I would definitely remove all those studs first. Chances are there are staples under them holding on the vinyl. You can get nice brushed nickel ones or even white for very little.
I’m assuming you didn’t watch the video entire video because I did remove them. Haha 😂
You should have followed Annie Sloan's instructions on how to proper use her products.
How would you use it properly? I've seen the videos and looked like she did it maybe I want to make my moms chairs pretty too
not enough coats of paint.. 3-4 at the least..thats why the problems have accured
The paint is perfect. The only problem I had was the topcoat that I put over the wax on 2 seats. It peeled off. Other than that I’m super happy 😁
You have gorgeous thick hair.
Thank you so much Michelle!
The vinyl chairs Needed to be painted with Specialty Vinyl Spray Paint & Not with Annie Sloans chalk paint. Had you painting them with the correct paint then the vinyl would Not have cracked!
Hi Nyla! I had no idea that there is a vinyl spray...that is so cool! Only the 3 chairs with the Annie Sloan Wax cracked. All the others are perfectly fine. The thing I do like about the Annie Sloan paint is that it's non toxic and no smell. Thanks for your input. Have a great day.
Very inspiring. I have just started using chalk paint too and could not help but show off the good work it did. Check it out on new TH-cam channel Velile Sithole. I did a make over for my bed and I am super motivated to do more.
Your makeover looks amazing! Thanks for commenting! You did a great job 💖😘
The chalk paint didn't work for my chairs, the paint cracked 🙃
You will need a clear coat of polyurethane on top of it. Don’t use wax, it will make it crack even more. Mine are holding up pretty good after all these years. It’s definitely not a permanent solution though.
I liked them better before you painted them grey.
Hi Lisa, thanks so much for watching 😘 The vinyl was really ugly up close and my colors are white and gray now, so as you can see they really didn't match. I was going for a lighter color scheme after having brown furniture for 15 years. Haha I appreciate your feedback though. Happy New Year! 💖🤗
@@SparklyOne I know, I've painted mine 3 times, depending on my mood, lol.
Luckily, I have a new set now, that I'm not allowed to paint. Lol
Your set is still very beautiful! Gray & white
Sounds like we have something in common...haha! Give me a paint brush and paint and I go crazy! I've painted my entire interior many times and I just love a new look every few years. It's only paint and the least expensive change to a house (if you paint it yourself..:) Have a wonderful day!
I think it is better if you paint on fabric,not leather.😉
The vinyl actually looks really nice painted. It’s holding up perfectly, except the ones that the wax was used on. Those made the clear coat peel 😉
It cracked because you didn't do it properly.
The ones that I used the wax on and then put on the clear coat, they all cracked. The ones that had clear coat only, are still beautiful to this day. What is your tip?
