Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Old White 1 Litre | No Sanding or Priming, Versatile Furniture Paint

Discover the versatility of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Old White, a soft off-white finish designed to harmonize with any color and style. This is a true go-to for furniture, cabinets, and décor projects where you want a light, refreshed look without heavy prep work.

Why choose Old White

• No sanding or priming required on most surfaces, saving prep time and effort.
• Water-based formula cleanly cleans up with soap and water and dries quickly for faster results.
• One litre covers roughly 140 square feet, making it suitable for both small and large projects.
• Low VOC and child-friendly profile support creative home projects with peace of mind.

In practice, Old White lightens tones while preserving the texture of the underlying surface. You can lighten other Chalk Paint colors by layering this neutral tone, or use it as a delicate wash to reveal grain and character in wood. When paired with Paris Grey, it can evoke a classic French-inspired look that feels timeless yet fresh. If you prefer a softer finish, a light wash achieved by thinning with water offers a contemporary, breathable appearance that still reads as bright and clean.

How to use

Apply Old White to furniture, cabinets, or décor pieces that need a refreshed, subtle lift. Start with a clean, dry surface, remove any loose paint or lacquer, and shake the can well before opening. Test patch first, then apply one or two coats with an Annie Sloan brush. Drying time is typically around 30 minutes, depending on conditions.

Sealing and finish

• Seal with Chalk Paint Wax or Chalk Paint Lacquer to protect and finish the piece. Wax can be worked into the paint with a lint-free cloth; lacquer can be applied with a brush or roller.
• After sealing, wipe away any excess and let it cure. The finish can range from vintage and distressed to smooth and contemporary, depending on your technique.

Versatility and maintenance

Chalk Paint adheres to a variety of surfaces including wood, glass, metal, and plastic with minimal sanding. You rarely need to prime before painting, so you can begin the fun part sooner. For upkeep, wash brushes with water and clean the finished surface with a soft damp cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals.

Creativity without limits

Old White is designed to be forgiving and adaptable. Layer, distress, or dilute to create washes that suit different styles—from rustic farmhouse to modern minimalist. The neutral tone acts as a reliable canvas for your personal touches and décor ideas.
