Black chalk paint for your creative project

The advantages of chalk-paint black

Chalk is a natural binder for colours. You can also create a very special surface with chalk paint. It is completely matt and has an enormous depth of colour. Chalk paint also gives the surface a slightly rustic look. Chalk paint is particularly suitable for soft, subtle colours, but also works well with black and other dark colour shades, not to mention white

The great thing about chalk paint is that it is easy and uncomplicated to work with. You don't normally need a primer to paint with chalk paint either, unless you want to paint tiles or plastic surfaces. Then use MissPompadour To Bond & Block first. If you are using Black with Black chalk paint on hard-wearing surfaces, you should finish the coat with MissPompadour To Seal. Otherwise, simply apply the chalk paint twice

Black as a colour shade

Why paint black at all? You may initially wonder whether the dark colour shade doesn't look too gloomy. But quite the opposite: every piece of furniture painted black has a classy, elegant look. What's more, black goes well with most other colour shades. Intense colours in particular can appear even more interesting and vibrant when combined with black chalk paint. When combined with gold or silver, black can also radiate dramatic elegance and emphasise the extravagant character of an interior.
