Hi there, it's Rosanne here from Country Chic Painted. Today I want to tell you all
about our new line of furniture paint our All-in-One Decor Paint. This eco-friendly
paint is clay-based, and as the name suggests it acts as a primer, paint, and
sealant all at once. We've spent over a year developing this paint line with our
manufacturer and I cannot wait to tell you all about it so please stay tuned for more
We wanted it to have some very specific characteristics so we've worked with
some very talented experts to formulate this new line of paint. Just in case
you're wondering Country Chic Paint is manufactured by a paint company in
Canada that has been making paint for over 80 years. They have a wealth of knowledge that
a lot of smaller paint companies simply don't have, so we're very thankful to
have such a reliable manufacturer to help us bring you the best products
Okay, let's talk about what makes our All-in-One paint so amazing. First of all
it has superior adhesion qualities so it will adhere to pretty much any surface
you can imagine. I always recommend doing a little scratch test before you paint
an entire piece though. So what you would do is you would take your project piece,
you paint a little four-by-four square inch section, you let it dry for about
24 hours, the next day come back to it
you take your fingernail and you try and scratch and see if the pain comes off
If it does come off then I would suggest sanding your project piece first before
you paint it, and there's another video all about prep work so I definitely
recommend checking that one out as well
Secondly, this paint is suitable for both indoor and outdoor projects, so that means that
even if you're painting something for outside you will be able to put it
outside. I would suggest putting it under cover and not leaving it out in the rain
If you do want to leave it out in the rain I would recommend putting a coat of
Tough Coat on it and you can learn about that product on our website or in one of
our other videos
The All-in-One Decor Paint also has amazing coverage so it requires less paint
coats for opaque coverage. Usually it covers in just a single coat of paint but sometimes you might
need to do a little bit of a touch up here or there where it hasn't fully covered
Another amazing quality of the paint is that you can easily create a distressed look with it
What you'll do is you'll paint two different colors of paint on top of each
other then you'll take a piece of sandpaper or a wet cloth and simply
rub away gently on the second paint coat to reveal the first paint coat
underneath. You'll be surprised at how easy it is to distress this paint
Lastly, one of the beautiful things about the All-in-One Decor Paint is that it also acts as a
sealant so you can decide to wax it after you paint it but you can also leave
it as is. For high use pieces such as kitchen cabinets or table tops I
recommend sealing it with Tough Coat, same as for your outdoor pieces that are going to be in the rain
To give your piece an antique look or a white washed finish you can always use one of
our colored glazes or waxes to finish your piece, but again
wax is not required with this paint. Oh, and one more thing that I really like about this
paint is that it comes in these plastic containers. It is available in 16 ounce
containers as well as 4 ounce containers and because it's in a plastic jar it makes
it way easier to open it; you don't need any special tools for it and you just
need to make sure that before you close it you clean up the rim because you
don't want the lid to get stuck on it
As far as application of the All-in-One Decor Paint is concerned it works the same
as our chalk-based paint. You can watch all of our other videos to learn all
about application of this product and the special techniques you can do with
it it will also still give you that beautiful matte finish that you've come
to love in chalk-based paints. There's one more thing that I want to point out to you
when you first look at the jars you'll notice that there is a watery layer on
the top of the paint. So the paint does separate over time, so it's very
important that you actually before I open it I want to give it a really good
solid shake and then you wanna do that for you know maybe a minute or so
Then you're going to open it up and you'll stir it
The watery layer on the top actually protects the rest of the ingredients
giving it a longer shelf life you just need to make sure that you combine it
well together before you start painting. So I hope you liked learning about our
new All-in-One Decor Paint. If you have any questions you can always call or
