Has anyone had any experience with Vintage Market & Design chalk paint

Question

I'm ready to try my first chalk paint project and am deciding on paint. Would appreciate hearing from anyone who has tried Vintage Market and how it compares to other chalk paints.

I know that @Anne has experience with this paint from her blog post here: http://www.whitelacecottage.com/2014/03/vintage-market-furniture-paint-lucky-junk/ . Anne, do you have any advice for K?

Paula Driesell · Answer

Never tried Vintage Market. I love Annie Sloan. Hard to beat.....it's great paint and I'm not paid to say that nor do I sell it. I'm a painter. :)

I hate promoting others' very expensive goods, but I love Annie Sloan the best, but I have experiments with mixing my own variety, but when I do, I sand first. Sometimes I sand before Annie S. and it does make a tremendous difference IMO. I think I may try the Miss Mustard Seed variety soon, but have not yet. I like their colors a lot.

Janet koons · Answer

Also, on this site, there are recipes to make it yourself. I have done that as well, using calcium carbonate, as one ingredient.

Annie Sloan, Only! Swear. Mess around with the others, but i ended up with Annie. No one can touch it..

Susan Brown Turner · Answer

Love the Vintage Market & Design line.Can't be beat IMO

K · Answer

Thanks for your feedback. It's hard to find anyone who has used anything other than Annie Sloan.. Have you used AS? If so, how does it compare with VIntage.

Kristina Linkem · Answer

I use VMD a lot. It works very well. I do sand and prep though, but I do that using ASP too.

LouJane Adams Wills · Answer

I use VMD and love it, however I have never tried Annie Sloan. I do not prep my items other that to clean them with windex. I refinish items to sell so I get my clear coat from Lowe's because it is so much cheaper... a water base Poly, satin finish. I probably have twenty jars or more of VMD paints. A little goes a long way!

Remington Lynn Cain · Answer

I have been painting furniture for 27 years and have tried lots of DIY and Brands...my 2 favorite companies are Vintage Market & Design, I love their color selection, of course prices, decorative finishes like the rustica de lux and timeworn and the crowning touch is my favorite for aging and doing all my hardware.

Melissa Shirey Ray · Answer

Vintage Market & Design goes on much smoother than Annie Sloan. After it cures, it does not feel as dry and chalky as Annie Sloan. I will never use Annie Sloan again, after using Vintage.
