Leigh Ann Azlin on Jul 01, 2015I haven't. The reviews on it were horrible so I hated to waste money on it. You might try Heirloom Traditions or their Debi's Design Diary DIY line. It comes in 12 oz samples, pints and quarts. There are quite a few colored waxes and some metallic finishes.Helpful Reply

JESTONECIPHER on Jul 01, 2015The lady in the paint dept saw me struggling with the cost of this Valspar and quietly slipped me a note on making my own: Mix well 1 cup latex paint, 1/3 cup plaster of paris and 1/3 cup of water. She said she makes it all the time...haven't yet tried it myself but it may be worth it.Helpful Reply

Dawn Villines on Jul 01, 2015Why spend 30.00 a quart when you can make your own? The Lowe's paint dept. has the recipe and lots of advice. The DIY version works excellent and far cheaper ...especially if you peruse their "oops" paint at only 9.00 a gallon!Helpful Reply

Julie on Jul 03, 2015Lynn, I have kid gloves, which is basically a white. I use it to create a distressed look and I add the antiquing wax over it. I also have theatre wrap which is a turquoise. My fave is woolen mittens. It's a gray but a soft gray. But I will tell you, the antiquing wax, or step 3, a little goes a LONG ways. Buy good brushes for that step. I know it's not cheap but I am not a fan of making my own and valspar is a good line. Sometimes it's worth it to just have it already made and go for it. Although compared to sherwin Williams, when I do make my own, Valspar regular paint makes the best homemade version of chalk paint. I use plaster of Paris. Hope this helps.Helpful Reply
