Thanks for the Rust-Oleum and AS review.

I was leaning towards Rust-oleum for the price and after reading this blog even more so now. You need some affiliate links for Rust-oleum! I have painted a brick fireplace and I shared the tutorial here: https://sarahjoyblog.com/paint-brick-fireplace/.

I too have used both as well as another couple on the market chalk paints.

The fact that you need to add water is part of the joy of AS.

Thats a big project, but Im sure it will be totally worth it in the end!

Hi Katie! The top I want to strip back to its natural wood which is oak and just wax it but the heavy center base I want to use the paint in a soft pale olive green with the antique effect showing a little rubbing. You can get that match in my full line of matches here: https://joyfulderivatives.com/full-line-of-color-matches/, Hi Rachel, is it possible for Home Depot to scan the magnolia paint chips directly and formulate exact color vs trying to find a similar color in the Behr line? Great option for color choice.

Thanks! Want it for my living room!

Hi, I was researching chalk paint for my kichen cupboards but I have lots of cupboards. I have just tried the Rustoleum product and so far so good.

I want to paint a sofa, but is waxing and sanding still necessary?

Now I know!

I found your article very interesting I painted my cabinets with the Anne Sloan. I think the Rustoleum is a great product.

I have tile around my fireplace and want to change the color. They have color charts there and not limiting like with Amazon. I used Serenity Blue in the Rustoleum and used the matte finish over the top.

I chose it based on the no prep method.

Should I use a poly or wax finish? It went on so much smoother and was easier to work with. It makes the can last a lot longer and it helps it go on as well.

It really made the blue much richer in color.

I did see a lot of U Tubes that helped me as I had no clue.

Has durability of varnish and silky feel of wax. I appreciate your careful comparison! You're signed up!

Ive never painted cabinets like that before, so I cant say for sure if you should clean/prep them with anything else.

I dont need to buy the expensive Annie Sloan paint now, unless I really need a particular colour. Or bathroom vanity. Ace Hardware has more colors available. As an AS fan for years, Ive used ROL and was also very pleased. I chose this one because of its dark finish and the fact that theres some damage on the top.

I hope this space can inspire you to create a home you love and enjoy the simple moments the most. I used the Martha Stuart paint and the odor was terrible!

Turn some music on, make yourself a cup of coffee, and enjoy it.

Do you think the Rustoleum chalky paint would work on those 90 curio cabinets?

Hoping to achieve the more blue than grey as it will be going in a kitchen with black cabinets.

I also sand a lot BTW coats. Its been sold in Europe more than 20 years.

Thank you.

I am new to chalk paint.

I loved your post. Thanks!

There are a lot of chalk paint chalk mineral paint out there, the ones Ive tried all work its just a matter of personal taste.

Due to such a huge request for color matches of other Magnolia paints (not in their Market Collection) Ive put together a free download with 10 more of their most popular colors! Thanks for this comparison!

Love the chalk paint.. Would love to know how one can seal the paint to be able to avoid any stains.. Hi.

Hi Sarah!

So far so good!

I would love matches for Mineral Green as well! Im new at this so This was a great help.

But if Im going to be using a light color I wouldnt drive the 20 minutes from my home to the nearest Annie Sloan retailer and spend 50% more.

I l love it so much, Im going to paint a few other pieces I have.

I love my Bombay poster bed but not the cherry color.

Joyful Derivatives DIY Home Improvement.

I just recently bought an entertainment center that Im planning on painting with chalk paint! I was at Home Depot a few days ago and had seen the Rust-Oleum Chalk Paint and wondered if it worked very well.

Read the full disclosure here.

However, I have never used chalk paint.

That was a really great article! I use the chalk paint all the time and also their semi gloss sealer. And the kiddos arent always so gentle. The guy behind the paint counter at lowes is my new bff, Hope u may enjoy as well, perhaps rustoleum spray on chalk paint vs canned chalk paint like Charcol mite be an i teresting experiment also.

Good morning! Can i do that myself using chalk paint? I would like to match the color In Bloom.

Ill add it to my list and see what I can come up with!

By chance do you have a match for one horn white in Behr? It lives on a screened porch.

anyways thts all! Hi Lisa!

Have you tried using a good flat paint like Benjamin Moore and waxing over it?Would that be easier or harder?

It is too thick.

Thanks for useful sharing information.

I ended up with my first chalked paint experience with Rustoleums Country Grey.I decided to try on the icky kitchen accessories and gave it a go with the kitchen cabinets. This was such a great post, Sarah, thank you for your expertise! And I think you will love the White Linen for your nursery project. Hello!

Hi.

I have begun using rustoleum ALMOST religiously, I keep a linen white and charcoal in my garage at all times.

Top tip: Annie Sloan recommends that you water down the paint a little to allow for smoother coverage! Thank you for sharing we learn so much by others. Hi !

Wondered if you or anyone else had any experience with this brand. Never again.

If the paint cakes up youre supposed to use water. Adore Annie Sloan paint- but want to try a lower priced (but still good quality) product- great comparison! My favorite is DIY. I also love fusion mineral paint and Find paints of Europe. That works really well too!

my local Ace used to carry this line until recently switching to BM. As Ive already primed my piece, have one coat on and plan on 2 more. Cannot find anything.

Great post!!

I went to an ACE hardware store where they will mix any Benjamin Moore color with the Rustoleum base.

Can you offer any advice please? Did you happen to find a match?

Thank you Sarah, great to know. I just wanted to mention the wax. Any suggestions? I hope this list gives you the ability to enjoy Joannas Magnolia Paint from a local store! There are no stores that carry it near me and am so glad to see that you found the Rust-Oleum just as good as I was look to purchase it!

But I dont have any experience painting upholstery.

After that epic fail, I went back to Annie Sloan and the project turned beautifully, including the painted chair that I had to re-do. Extremely helpful go me.

I live in So California.

I am going to paint my dining table and will try the rustoleum. I have used rustoleum and like it.

I live in France, so products are not the same, not sure what others sealer that could use the Minwax is crazy a crazy price, over $40 and matt $80 for a quart. I started with Rust-oleum when I first tried chalk paint and really liked it (especially the low cost!)

I used Angel Grey.. and I found with my pressed wood vanity..I painted over white but I sanded it lightly.. then painted it one coat which probably should of been two coats.

Painted all the furniture plus wooden rails plus fridge and did not use any sealant at all. I have several items I had to re-paint because of this.

Its on Amazon too: https://rstyle.me/+NQjpvnpdTcv7hnr8xLjHHg, Hi, thank you for your great blog on the Annie Sloan/Rust-O-Leum chalk paint comparison.

I have wondered.

Any opinions would be appreciated. I found that you can have it tinted into almost any color you choose when you purchase it through a paint store who carries it such as Benjamin Moore. Does it matter the brand of wax. When you go to chalk paint store (and there are LOTS of brands now apart from Rustoleum and AS) they tell you of course chalk is best.

What can I do to get them to look smooth?

This was very helpful. I used AS paint for years, however I do stand by my review.

Hi. Any ideas?

Hi do you have the Behr equivalent for Alabaster? Old from smoking in the house(which is no longer done) it has nicotine on it would any kind of chalk paint cover it or do I need to sand and primer it. I just used it on a brass-type lamp base and it worked well.

She had stopped using the wax and instead added a coat of water based (acrylic) varathane with a satin finish to many of her pieces. Hello

I agree! Thank you for the comparison between Annie Sloan and Rust-Oleum paints. I did not get the same results as you.

youre applying it wrongits not the paint.

Ill email you about my custom color matches.

Never thought them would have such great items for refinishing but the price point is unbeatable and the way they work is amazing!

I can thicken it too if need be. The reason you get different results is because they are not the same type of paint. Thank you for this article, im new at chalk painting and appreciate your honesty on in this article.

Hi Sarah , very interesting post, I am a Rustoleum fan through and through. I wanted to paint my kitchen table and have been looking at Annie Sloan for awhile. Annies expertise in the development of her products and how they are sold is a cut above. The paint retailer actually came to my house and brought a sealer (not wax) somehing like varethane.

Heres the table I used for this project. Sarah, any experience with this before I jump in?! I have used a chalk paint called Rethunk Junk and also used the Rustoleum Chalk paint. Plus your DIY spaces are very nice. Thanks for your help.

I think Ill stay away from Annie Sloan. do you have a behr match for under the stars please?

SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR GIVING ME THE KNOWLEDGE OF A GOOD PRODUCT AS MY JOB IS HUGE AND I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR SOME ANSWERS FOR OVER A WEEK AND SO MANY HOURS THAT WERE FUTILE UNTIL I READ YOUR ARTICLES AND LOVED HOW YOU SHOWED THE COMPARISON OF PRODUCTS THAT WON ME OVER .NOW I CAN ACTUALLY SPRING SOME LIFE INTO MY FURNITURE AND MAKE IT A WOW FACTOR!!!!!!. It was my bathroom vanity with Rust Olean. I am trying to decide which brand to use on my first project.

Hi Sarah, Im needing to paint an unfinished pine nightstand from Ikea. I have painted several pieces of furniture over the years.

Would you be able to help? The Papillion image was so gorgeous and I knew this piece was the perfect canvas for it. Can you use as clear and dark wax on rustoleum chalk paint? Thank you for this. . I have seen so many people using chalk paint and really liked the way the furniture came out. Most paints will do this but latex paint like the Rustoleum is less susceptible to flashing from the latex base.

I live in Australia, and I use Rustoleum paint.

Was this intentional? Tks for the detailed comparison which has been very helpful. So, I found that the Valspar works really well too.

, Ronni, I would try Behrs Off White (73).

Theyre both very similar. Thank you so very much! Love the little table, btw.

it is gorgeous so far. I have also used both and I would choose Annie Sloan. I am striking out at the HD/Lowes/Sherwin TIA, Hi Kyle, Id try Behrs Award Night (MQ5-15) or Extreme (S530-6) the Award Night has more of a purple undertone but both look quite similar!

BUT!

I use Annie Sloan and I have always loved it but my last can has been very thick and hard to paint with. it looks beautiful, shows so much more corrector and it buffs out just like it did on your shoes. Thanks again! Redid my old family heirloom French Provincial desk with mirror and tall chest this week with the light gray color Rustoleum Chalked paint. Thanks.

I am painting my dining room hutch as I speak after already painting the table and chairs that go with it (I have had this set since the mid 80s), and Im almost done now.

Rustoleum isnt actual Chalk Paint, Its essentially a flat latex paint. I love the light and airy feel of the Fixer Upper homes as well as the dark accents, like industrial light fixtures.

Thank you! I loved it.

8 ounces will do several medium sized projects. Thank you for this post! Do you have color match for Silos?

I would use AS AGAIN IF I Can FIND IT LOCALLY. Any pointers? This was so helpful, especially with white paint.

a light or same color.

Ive also have used both , but never sure which was better. Problem came when the new mattress didnt fit! Thanks. Does rustoleum chalk paint have a strong oder.thank you.

You can go here to claim it!

I want to paint/distress a curio cabinet I have.

Other chalk paints, we are assured were not formulated by artists for artists, they are made for the DIY painters who would be overwhelmed with a very specifically designed product. I will be trying my 1st project ever on an antique rocking chair I m thing on using the Rustoleum spray chalk paint . I am also interested in Yarn color match.

I will have to sand some areas to get them smooth and remove the chipping existing varathane sealer used. Maybe Im using too much, but my table tops sometimes look streaky.

It has some leaf effects begging for gilding.

I applied both with a regular paint brush.

Once it has cured it also is baby and food safe. The paint came off with the tape! I have painted many pieces of furniture but have always used the Americana Decor chalk paint from Home Depot and really like it! Im actually just using the rustolem for the first time right now (mid project) and so far so good. No nicks, scratches, or wearing.

Thats awesome there are more colors available to you Stacey, good luck with your projects!

What about using the wax on black?

The Rustoleum Chalked has turntable basesyou can customize your colors .

Here goes the first coat of paint. Loved your input! , Julie can you give me more details on the proportions on how to make your own chalk paint, including the brands you used? I did this to match a prior used latex paint and it was perfect!

I have read some people use a regular matte or clear finish product on AS instead of the wax. Thank you for this write up. ** I do not want to use wax for accents of finish as I have read a few people have issues repainting years later. I will be doing my first chalk painting project on my armoire. I agree with everything you said in this post.

Thanks so much!

I do like the AS color palette, but lets face it, its $$$$$.

I want to bet charcoal black matte finish that you see in the very most expensive Colonial furnishings and I think the Rust-Oleum will do the trick for durability and application.

Tried it and loved it! I can get it in-store at my local Home Depot, which means I can have it TODAY.

We are painting this weekend and there isnt enough time ship, which is a bummer. Made me so happy. After lots of worry, I jumped in. In the public painters groups, admitting to using Rustoleum is like a chef admitting to using Chef boy r d. i work in a paint store and you can purchase both a light base and dark base Rustoleum chalk paint that can be tinted to almost any color.

Theyre both really close, but Perennial Green has a bit more of a blue undertone and Billiard Green has a bit more of a blue undertone, so whichever of those you want a hint more of in your living room.

Do you know if that is dangerous since it isnt high heat paint? The can says light use in 3 days and cures in 7 but Ive found that it reaches maximum hardness in 30 days.

We liked the price so we decided to give it a try and we were happy with the results. I had used Annie sloans paint etc for years but I now use rust-oleum it is smooth and creamy to use and I have found there colour range is as big as AS.

I just bought the Restolium paint.

Thanks so much!

The Gaines initial debut was on the infamous HGTV show Fixer Upper and since then they have opened a destination spot in Waco, Texas (complete with bakery, shop and more), released an interior decor line called Hearth & Hand with Target, and rolled out their very own paint line. Thank you so much for this post! I actually think they do make a Rust-Oleum chalk paint that can be tinted any color!

Hi, Ive used Annie Sloan chalk paint on my kitchen, kitchen chairs, piano stool and waxed it too and loved the finish and ease of use.

I love the Linen White by Rustoleum and the medium gray is a true gray no blue undertones. I experienced bleed through with the Rustoleum but not the Annie Sloan.

Colors & shades of each are should give everyone something they love & it is truly custom.

Your comparison of the two products was very helpful!

do you think l could use the rustoleum chalk paint on a stained white rayon/velvet couch& what sealer would l use. Imagine it with dark floors, a light table and a black light fixture Dreamy!

I didnt try the topcoat to see if it made a difference though. So my conclusion is no matter how much they tell you no prep, you always need to clean a surface, do a light sand, and you always need to seal it if it is something like a kitchen cabinet with a lot of wear and tear. 5) glaze with dark brown glaze to enhance edges. My question is can either of these chalk paints stand up to outdoor weatherhot afternoon sun or rain? Now due to cost we are going to redo them ourselves.

The Yarn match is in my free download for 10 more colors. Joanna used a wide range of colors from many different paint manufacturers on the show, but shes done a great job creating the perfect tones for mimicing the fixer upper paint colors everyone loves in her new line.

Made my own chalk paint & it worked beautifully!! Im planning on painting a dining table but Ive never used chalk paint before.

Im new to chalk painting and found your blog with a google search. I decided to use a graphic from The Graphics Fairy website and go to town! .

The best thing about the Behr paint, is that the paint department will mix the paint in Any color you want, Hello! Im going to attempt to paint it. Lowes has a furniture paint & a cabinet paint. Im looking for a match to Solid Wood paint color by Magnolia. Thank you! Marie, Hi Marie, I have done a DIY chalk paint actually. Still love AS Old White for a creamy vintage white.

I have a wood look dining table outside.

Cheers, Cass.

This would not wash out, despite bleach.

What is your opinion on that? Ill get that updated right away! Hi Christine!

Do you know if Rust Olium has a color similar to Annie Sloans Old Ochre? I already have the Annie Sloan paint in the color Provence and the wax. But Im curious, what did you cover your cabinets with when you used latex paint?

Im just getting started and thought your tips were very useful.

LOL But I thank you Sarah for making this comparison between these 2 paints.

Paint on Rita.

After a week of frustration I went and painted Fusion over top of my 4 coats of Rustoleum. Annie Sloans chalk paint was her paint and for her techniques, so thats why it is thicker and has more versatility but to exploit that requires more skills. It has really helped to answer my questions as Im a novice at this.

Another diamond in the rough on the side of the road! Hi Rachel, first comment Ive ever made on a blog Do you know of a color match for Yarn?

Do you any Behr match ups for Tapestry Thread or Southern Grown?

Id say you will probably need an extra coat of paint on your chest of drawers, but other than that I think youd be ok. What color are you thinking about using?
