Description
California Prop 65- Visit HERE. 1 Litre will cover around 120 square feet...give or take! According to Annie, Old Ochre is the faded darkened cream Chalk Paint® colour seen on old French painted furniture, woodwork & door exteriors. Apply Dark Chalk Paint® Wax to make the colour more intense & evocative of Paris, or keep it clean as a neutral foil to other colours. Annie Sloan's Old Ochre is a soft warm neutral that can be dark waxed to make the color of old French painted woodwork. The color has changed slightly since the packaging transition from a quart container to the litre. We feel it looks more like sand at the beach. This is more like a very LIGHT khaki, or .... most people refer to it as unbleached muslin. Be careful when looking at photos on line, it can appear creamy on some BUT IT IS NOT! If debating between this color & Pure White or Cream Chalk Paint®, visit this link here => https://www.thepurplepaintedlady.com/2014/04/difference-between-annie-sloans-white-chalk-paint-colors/ PACKAGING CHANGED TO LITERS! ~ Chalk Paint® by Annie Sloan is sold all over the world. Russia, Germany, Spain, Australia, South Africa, Japan, Italy, Greece & Mars. (only joking about Mars....but maybe someday!) Through out 2019the packaging of paint will be transitioning so all countries are aligned & in the USA, the 32 ounce quart (being a little redundant therelol) containers will be going to liters...which is around 34 ounces. OPENING THE LIDS OFF THE LITRE: Watch this video to show you how best to open so you do not bend the lids. VERY IMPORTANT INFO REGRADING OPENING THE LIDS ON THE LITRES:To remove the lid on the liters, gently wedge a paint can opener or a blunt object, like the end of a spoon's handle under the lid. Gently & patiently, go all the around the lids edge by turning the paint can 360 degrees. This will gently lift the lid without denting it. Besides the change of more paint in the container - the liter's lids are just a little different & take a softer hand to open & close. Use a paint can opener & wiggle it around the lid completely. You will find the paint in the liters will be slightly thicker- here are some tips when using: 1. A light touch with your brush is needed. It spreads much more easily than trying to push the paint around. Using an Annie Sloan paint brush is important. 2. A spray bottle will be your new best friend & you may find it will really help if you are painting in a linear motion. 3. Use your spray bottle to wet sand with Annie's sanding pads. You will find that it distresses the paint beautifully! Don't forget when purchasing Chalk Paint® Decorative Paint by Annie Sloan- to consider purchasing her Clear Wax also. Annie's paint & wax were created to partner perfectly together! The paint itself will harden but the wax will truly protect it! The wax does completely harden & it becomes hard & is water repellent. It is a wonderful protective finish that you can buff once dry- to the sheen you desire. Some photos,
