🎨 Key Features:
Unique light blue-gray tone with soft green undertones
Historic-inspired color that changes slightly with lighting
Ultra-high pigment load for strong, lasting coverage
Smooth, velvety matte finish
Made with only 9 premium ingredients
No VOCs - safe for indoor use
Adheres to wood, metal, plastic, canvas, and fabric
Fabric remains soft and flexible after painting
📦 Sizes & Coverage:
8 oz (Sample): ~35 sq ft (small projects like a chair or side table)
16 oz (Pint): ~75 sq ft (most furniture pieces)
32 oz (Quart): ~150 sq ft (multiple pieces)
🪑 Real-Life Use:
Refinishing furniture with a soft, vintage-inspired blue tone
Updating cabinets or décor with a subtle, calming color
Creating layered or lightly distressed finishes
Painting upholstery or fabric while keeping it soft
Example: A velvet sofa was painted using a 1:4 paint-to-water ratio and required three coats. Six years later, the color has not faded, and the fabric remains soft—no reupholstery needed.
💧 Application Tips:
"Move the paint with water" for smooth blending
Use a continuous misting bottle to lightly dampen your brush or surface
Dilution options:
Up to 1:10 (paint to water) without losing color vibrancy
Many users prefer a 1:1 ratio for standard applications
For fabric (like velvet): approx. 1:4 ratio, applied in multiple coats
🛠️ How to Use:
Clean and dry your surface
Remove lid and stir (sometimes minimal stirring is needed)
Apply one coat and allow to dry (15 minutes to a few hours depending on climate)
Apply a second coat if needed
Allow to dry, then wait 24 hours for full cure
Seal with a DIY Paint finishing product (such as clear wax or Big Top) to enhance durability and depth
🌿 Ingredients (9 Total):
Water, clay, porcelain clay, chalk, alcohol, ester (binder), cellulose, pigments, preservative
💡 Helpful Notes:
Paint dries matte and deepens slightly when sealed
Highly pigmented formula allows dilution without losing vibrancy
Ordering multiple items reduces shipping cost (each additional item adds only $1 shipping)
