Dixie Belle Paint Company Chalk Finish Furniture Paint - Secret Path (16oz) - Matte Dusty Lilac Chic Chalk Mineral DIY Furniture Paint

I love Dixie Belle. Always the same quality. Colors are consistent and cover a great amountI love how smoothly it goes on.

Great quality, coverage, color, easy to use. Only brand my mother (the artist of the family) will use. The only problem I have is it is expensive in my opinion...but I guess you get what you pay for....

I am the least crafty person I know… definitely not fussy or detail oriented, so if I can do this and have success so can you! I wanted to cheer up a black console table by painting it navy blue and knee chalk paint is easy/durable. I was nervous that this blue would be too French country or light, but it’s perfect. When it first went on, I panicked and thought I made a huge mistake bc it was electric blue. Like the color of painters tape. But as it dried, it became a deeper, richer, more blueberry blue. I wouldn’t call it a dark navy but it has that preppy coastal vibe I was going for. Some of the pics make it seem more smurfy blue but it’s really notThis was a very easy product to use. I lightly sanded just bc I happened to have an electric sander out (my contractors :) so I did the most minimal sanding ever. Then I dusted it and waited for the paint to be delivered today. I purchased a 4” foam roller, tray and chalk paint brush set at a home improvement store… maybe $11 total. I used the roller for 90% of the work and just used the chubby brush for the corners and tighter spots. So easy!!!! The first coat dried in 15 min or less, but I decided to do a second coat just to make sure I covered all the black. It is not required to do the second coat and I would have been fine with just one, but honestly it was fun and I wanted to keep painting😅I would definitely use this brand again and thought it was a great value. I had considered donating this table bc it didn’t match my vibe anymore, but now it has a new lease on life and will go in my front entry with a new round mirror above. Exciting stuff! 10/10 recommend

This is actually brown!!!!!! Not gray. I love it.

My DIY success rate is minimal. But I knew from the first roll that this chalk paint was going to be an easy victory. I watered it down just a bit. The roller gave it the perfect finish over this sun-faded plastic pot that I have been unhappy with for years. Buying another to do other faded pots. Fantastic results and it's my first go with chalk paint.

This is an excellent product! I used a brush then followed up with a roller to have no brush lines. Even with a brush if applied with a damp brush it left few brush lines. It dries super matte which I loved. Very forgiving. I will say that I needed something darker than this but not totally black and they don't have it in a chalk paint so I mixed the Dixie Belle Coffee Bean color with a matte black chalk paint of a cheaper brand. Since I had more of the matte black product I used it straight, without mixing, on the inside parts of the cabinet. That was how I noticed the superior quality of the Dixie Bell product to the cheaper brand. When I went over both of these areas, the unmixed black matte chalk paint compared to where I mixed it with the Dixie Belle coffee bean color. The latter didn't come off on my brush when I went over it with it with a finish clear coat. So I know that the Dixie Belle product will be more durable long term.

First, I love this paint. Which is why I’m giving it 4.5 stars It is the top tier of chalk paints in my experience. Pigment is phenomenal. Can’t say enough about it. But the packaging is awful. This is my 2nd purchase of this paint, same color. This paint isn’t cheap so any of it going to waste is not good. The first 16oz.. the lid was cracked on the top which wasn’t so bad until the paint was opened and I had to keep plastic food wrap over the jar in order to keep it from drying out. I used it on my project rather quickly so that was a relief. This purchase of the 32oz because I had another project and then wanted to make sure I had enough to keep on hand for touch ups. As you can see from the pictures… the lid was not on properly and then sealed with paint all in side of the lid which came out in the mouth of the container… I could barely get the lid off as the paint had dried inside the cap. Once opened there was a skin on the paint where the lack of seal had cause a surface dry out. Container was also damaged. As you can see if had to pick away at dried paint on the mouth and on the inside of the lid just to be able to secure it for storage. Again, this stuff isn’t cheap and if a price increase is what is needed in order to get a container that is a little more durable, I would be willing to pay instead of having the risk of it completely drying out. I have yet to find this item in any craft store in my area so online purchase seems to be the only route to purchase… if so, the packing and shipping needs to improve.

I redid a coffee table that someone else had done before and the paint was coming off. I just sloppily sanded the thing and painted over it. I don't know what I was thinking but it was whiter than I thought. I bought Fluff. Either way it was fine because then I played with some Antique Gold Buff and shine. The piece is very beautiful. I've got a little more of this left, I had an 8 oz. And I will use the rest of it for something else at some point. lolYes it was matte and the paint feels rougher than smooth. I love that for me but you might not. It gave the project texture.
