Annie Sloan Chalk Paint™ Emperors Silk
Emperor's Silk is a bright pure red like the silk lining of a jacket. It is also the red of Chinese lacquer, especially when deepened with Black Chalk Paint™ Wax. Use it in the interior of a cupboard or drawer for a pop of colour.
Chalk Paint™ is the brand name for Annie’s unique water-based decorative paint. Developed by Annie Sloan specifically for furniture, it can be applied to most surfaces and very rarely requires any priming or sanding before painting. You can use it on walls, floors, wood, concrete, metal, matt plastic, earthenware, brick, stone and more – inside or outside. You can even use it to paint upholstery and dye fabric. It can be thinned with water and used as a wash. It can also be used as an impasto (thickly) — just leave the lid off overnight to thicken. Add Chalk Paint™ Wax for a subtle sheen, protection and durability. For an aged look, add Dark or Black Chalk Paint™ Wax. To lighten colours or for a limed look, try White Chalk Paint Wax.
