Terrible paint
This is NOT chalk paint. It goes on like a watery glaze. Complete waste of time and money. I’ve used Annie Sloan and Amy Howard chalk paints which both cover beautifully. I know what chalk paint does. This doesn’t.

Waste of money
Don’t waste your money on this paint. I had to apply 4+ coats to some spots. It does not cover and the Anvil Gray which appears to be dark gray on the label is actually dark blue when it dries. Terrible product. If I knew it was going to take 4 coats I would have stopped after the 1st coat and bought another brand.

Chalk paint joke
Whoever decided that Krylon was a good choice for chalk paint should be fired. End of story...worst product ever

Worst paint ever
After 4 coats on an optimally prepared surface that other chalk paints would have completely covered in two coats there were still streak marks and bare spots. This paint simply does not stick to the surface. Worst paint ever. Ended up stripping and applying Kilz’s chalk paint, covered beautifully in 2 applications. Will never buy another Krylon paint again.

Unsatisfactory. Do Not Use
Krylon should not be manufacturing this paint. It's coverage quality is worse than bad. Each coat I applied kept lifting the previous coat. After painting multiple coats, the antique wax process removed majority of the paint. I do not recommend this bad quality paint. Spring for name brand chalk paint up front. My project time has doubled as I have to start all over beginning with removal of this Krylon junk. Lowe's should pull this product.

It’s bad
I’m really sorry to write this but this paint is bad. It is not a chalk paint. It’s is just a really flat and thin paint. And not cheap.

Not Chalk Paint
This product is marketed at Chalky paint but make no mistake, it doesn't have the same finish, consistency or dry time. I didn't realize until after I started painting so now I have to sand down and repurchase a true chalk paint. Do not purchase If you are used to using a chalk paint, you want to avoid the disappointment and the waste of funds.

It's NOT 'chalk' paint - Poor Branding
Chalk Paint & Chalky Paint are not the same. This review isn't about the quality of your product, it is about its intended end user.
When I purchased the Anvil Gray, I did read the label, "Chalky"; thought it was odd, but probably some copyright law uptake for Krylon's merchandising, NBD.
Big Deal. Anyone who has painted with chalk paint knows it is not just a paint job, it's a paint process. Its application is unlike latex paints, drys very quickly, often requires two coats for dramatic color changes, and includes a finishing product, usually wax, with the goal of creating something new and unique, less prep and more liberty than latex paint.
I've been painting for a long time with different brands and types and finishes of latex, oil, spray, stucco, cement, even stain.
IMHO, ChalkY paint is glorified, expensive, thick, built-in-primer paint. Yes, it is a hobby paint, but the fact that it doesn't need a finishing project to complete the process is the very thing that equates it to any other water based latex paint.
It's okay if Krylon wants to jump on the DIY bus, but please don't insult us enthusiasts, or beginners for that matter, by calling it something it is not. It's too misleading and will lend to disappointment and loss of consumers who have come to trust the Krylon Brand.
