- I tested the top 13 brands of chalk paint + 1 DIY Recipe. Watch this video and see how they compare. Extensive tests were done to test for durability, wear, coverage, bleed-through, texture, and scratch-ability. THE RESULTS WILL SURPRISE YOU!
This video is not sponsored by any company and I was received no money from any company. In fact, I personally paid for all this paint! In addition, it was a blind test in that I did not know the brands as I was performing the tests.
Therefore, this video represents my unbiased evaluation of these 13 brands of paint.
Annie Sloan
Dixie Belle
Jolie
DIY Recipe
Waverly
Chalky Chicks
Behr
Kilz
Rustoleum
American Decor

So glad I didn’t buy the expensive paint I was about to order. Thanks for all your time doing this video. Amazing!
Thank you for your time and efforts to provide the best results for the paint to use! Greatly appreciated!
This video is a punk rock masterpiece. What a rollicking AND informative good time! I'm planning my first chalk paint project and now I know what paint to use. Well done.
Punk's Not Dead! :p
Such a great informative video! Thanks for taking the time. I am very surprised by some of the results!
Great video. Love all the details and your editing. Thank you so much.
Thanks so much!
Okay this is the best comparison video yet! It includes the diy that I think everyone starts out with. I did. And even though I've now tried the big brands always go back to the diy paint using Marquee paint by Behr. Especially for black. The big names just don't cut it! ty for your hard work!!!!
Glad it was helpful! Hello to CANADA!!!
"Everyone" would be better off in an initial project with a sheet of sandpaper rather than 50 cans of Behr.
Excellent analysis! Thanks for doing all that work.
Thank you for this testing. I was curious too. Excellent testing A+👍🏼
Thank you so much for doing this! This helped me very much in deciding what brand to use as a person with no experience! I appreciate it very much
Thank you for spending the money on these products so we don't have to!! The advertising is so tempting and this is so helpful!
Excellent & much appreciation for all your time & efforts. 🎉
Thanks for the effort put into this video...VERY helpful!
Very informative & helpful! And the results... lol goes to show the most expensive isn't always the best! Thank you very much for doing this!! 👍🙂
I love everything about this video. All around great job!
Oh Arie- you comment feeds my soul!!! I am so glad you liked it!!!
Fantastic thank you! Because of the cost I've been hesitant to even try any of these chalk paints - now I know. AND I thoroughly enjoyed your "animations" - needed a laugh and smile today :)
This was a great video. Thank you! I am just fixing to start a home project and this was just the info I needed.
This was so informative and I loved the humor you added also. Well done you! 🐞👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it!
That was so fun! (I'm such a nerd!) LOL. Just found you and you gained a new subbie! Thank you for doing all those tests. I sure couldnt believe the results!
Thank you. One of the best paints I ever used was a DIY chalk paint I made using OOPS paint and a chalk additive. The adhesion was superb and the finish was the smoothest I've ever had. Very revealing results!
Thank you soo much for all of your time and effort! Valuable information.
You are so welcome! I hope it is helpful. Please consider subscribing!
Tons of NerdLove to you !!🤩!😍over the top beatiful artwork and amazing informative content , so lovely provided! Thank you for your time and work!🙏💚
Thank you for doing this test. It has really helped me make better paint decisions.
I am so glad it helped! That is why I did it. I do not mind paying more if I GET MORE for my money but that is not the case with chalk paint.
This is a fabulous resource! Thank you so much for doing all this work!!
Glad you enjoy it!
This was an awesome video! Thank you for all the time, effort, and expense you endured to compare all these brands of paint. Seems like DIY may be the way to go!
Υes it is. I only use DIY but i have to say, that i always prime my furniture,and use a very good varnish at the end. Never had any problems
Thank you for this info. I'm a DIYer but don't have the resources to do this so I greatly appreciate your time and money and effort!! :)
Thank You!! This was very helpful!!
Very informative and helpful. Thank you for doing this.
I hope it is helpful!
Your passion is crazy
Thank you for doing the work for all of us. Very good test!
I am glad it was helpful! It certainly was helpful info as I continue to refinish furniture for a profit!
Thank you for the hard work and the great video. Marie
Great video. Thanks!
This was an extremely helpful video. I have been collecting various pieces to paint and sell but wasn’t sure which paints to purchase. I know now though😀😀 Thank you so much for all your hard work…and expense. I am so glad I found your channel and have certainly subscribed and given you a thumbs up. Cheers from Australia. 💕👍💕
Glad it was helpful!
Well done! You certainly did do a most thorough job. Very scientific. I hope in your future endeavors, that it pays off for you. Thank you so much for sharing your results. 👍💞
Thank you!
This is a great video and very informative. I'm just looking into using chalk paint for my husband's old toy chest. I want to make it "farmhouse" vs the standard stain and poly I've done in the past I really appreciate all your hard work on this!!
Best and most helpful videos I’ve seen to date.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for the honest review. It is much appreciated.
Glad it was helpful!
I appreciate being able to watch this.
I want to tell you that this video comparing the chalk paints, is fantastic. I appreciate all the work and organization that required.
I'm wondering if acrylic paints will work in place of wall paint? I have a huge supply of Golden and LiquiTex paints, and I'd love to use them, but not at the expense of the outcome.
Many thanks!

You were not boring in anyway and i liked your encouragement throught the video! It was funny and well timed! You were very thorough and informative! Great video! Subscribed!
Glad you enjoyed!
Nightmare of statistics class!
Verry informative!
Excellent video. Thank you. I just subscribed.
I bet you did great ag the science fair 😊 this was such a great video! I loved everything about it and appreciate your time and effort because you have helped a lot people.
I don't know if you republish this every so often, but it is sooooo fabulous!
What a great help this test is. Thankyou👏👍😉
Glad it was helpful! Can you believe how good the DIY recipe came out? Wow! Total game changer for me! Please subscribe and you will be notified when I release my next video. I am currently testing all in one paints.
I have definitely seen that your test have proved true to what I have seen. And one of my favorites is the DIY which makes it easier to make or find any color you are looking for and if I can’t find the exact color that I am looking for I add a few drops of the inexpensive acrylic hobby paints that you can pick up anywhere. The big brand I started with mostly recommends wax as the sealer. I painted my kitchen cabinets and here just a couple of years later it looks terrible. There is one brand that I really like because of all of their coastal colors and it scored ok, but nice to know the paint I have been making myself is actually better.
Well my goodness! The amount of work that you went to in making this video. I truly appreciate how much time it must’ve taken and I also appreciate your unbiassed information. Thank you so much for this. I only wish I had subscribed to your channel before I bought so many different kinds of chalk paint. I could’ve save myself some money. I’m bingeing my way through your videos. Peers and since my last video that I watched it has not warmed up here on the East Coast of Canada. Cold 🥶
Thank you so much! I am glad it was helpful. It WAS a lot of work to do the tests and to do the video but I have received a lot of positive comments (like yours) and that makes it all worthwhile! Keep warm!
Nice job. Thank for all the great information. Will be subscribing 🙏
YEAH!!!!
Thank you!
Superb!!!
Really great information! Thanks so much
Glad you found it helpful Adina!
That is amazing, thank you for the information.
I am glad you found it informative!
LOVE your work!!!
Thank you so much!
Great video thanks so much that was so informative.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks!
Excellent content and video quality. Educational and entertaining.
I am so glad you liked it!!!
Great job! I definitely wouldn’t have the patience to do what you have done . I am a newbie , and this experiment helped a lot !
Thank you- glad you liked it!
Very good and informative video. Would you be doing something similar with finishes? Thanks for the great work.
Wow so informative. Thank you very much
Thanks Nathalie! Glad it was helpful
Thank you so much for this time consuming hard work to figure out the best paint. I am very new to this and need help badly. I am working on small crafts, plastic, glass, metal and wood with Iron Orchid moulds and I wonder what paint I would substitute with your DIY recipe because I obviously don't need large quantities like when you do for furniture. Could you use craft paints like Americana or Delta then use wax, and gilding paste ? Any advice would be appreciated.
Wow! Helpful information!
Hi Cindy. So glad it was helpful I love the diy chalk paint recipe in this video!!! Please give it a thumbs up to show CZcams that it is a good video and has value. thanks!
Thank you, thank you, and thank you., That was lots of work. I have just started my journey, why chalk paint and when? I love CZcams videos like yours that add value.
You are so welcome!
Thank you. That was a heck of a lot of work!
I previously purchased calcium carbonate to make a DIY chalk paint but never got around to it. Will definitely be giving it a try now after your results.
Glad I can motivate you!
Amazing Informative video...thank you for.sharing
Glad it was helpful!
I really really appreciate all the work you went through to test these paints. If I am not painting furniture but craft small pieces using Iron Orchid moulds what kind of paint could I add to DIY recipe. Would a craft paint like Americana or Delta paint work in the recipe. Thanks
Thanks for sharing this helpful info
Glad it was helpful!
Love the details of your test. Can you please do a comparison of Waverley and County Chic chalk paint? New Subbie 😊
Thanks for the work
My pleasure! Please subscribe!!
Thank you so much!!
You are welcome!
Thank you for this video. This was exactly what I was looking for. I’m curious if the results from your diy paint are due to using a quality latex paint? Do you remember what type it was?
Valuable info!
Thanks Begie
I really appreciate all the time and effort you put into everything. I always enjoy watching your channel.
I am glad that you found it helpful. Please subscribe- I will be posting additional videos like this.
Can you do a comparison of the clear top coats next time??
Annie Sloan has to be the MOST heavily marketed chalk paints, she has tons of paid YT paint pushers, it is amazing. She should concentrate on improving her paint, instead of paying hundreds of shills, pushing and telling how great it is. It is NOT cheap, BTW. Thanks, love you for this info. SUBSCRIBED!
This would be great as a series with other colors (Grey, black, blues)
That was very nice of you to do that
I hope it was helpful!
Thank you SO much! This was SUCH an eye opener. Also loved your sense of humor. Quite entertaining,
Glad you enjoyed it! It was a lot of work (It literally took me 2 weeks) and I do not know how it will be received by my viewers. I hope they appreciate it like you!
I always use shelac
I truly appreciate all the time and energy you spent on this. Given the results, do you prefer Waverly and/or your DIY? Or is there another brand, despite these test results, that you perfer?
They are both fine but DIY is so much cheaper that it is my go to chalk paint now!
Outstanding video! Is there a particular brand of flat latex paint with primer you use?
Hi could you please help me,l can not find your recipe for diy chalk paint .thank you so much.
I make my own chalk paint with a really high quality acrylic paint and plaster of Paris. Smooth creamy and covers well . I use a damp sanding block after every coat and then seal with wax or clear coat. Smooth as glass. Easy to work with !
I make my own, too. Have gone back yo plaster of Paris with a titch of calcium carbonate. Now add a bit of floetrol so I don’t have to worry about brush msrks
Truly appreciate all the work you did. I make my own chalk paint so was happy to see home madd did well
Thanks for sharing! Of course, the recipe I used was not made with plaster of Paris. But isn't it nice to know how it compares with the expensive brands? I was surprised how smooth it was without any added water. I may try Roberta's suggestion below with a little bit of floetrol. Are you using craft acrylic paint?
Me too!
Thanks Roberta I am going to try the floetrol. I have SOOOO much calcium carbonate that I will only be using that for awhile. I think I bought 10 pounds from Amazon!
I am
A newbie here so which brand is the best to buy ?
And, I did subscribe.
What a useful video. Thank you doing this so thoroughly. I didn’t find your recipe for the DIY receipt. Can u send me the link please.
Hi Carol. I have it all posted now. Sorry for the delay in getting it posted.
Hi. I very much appreciated all you hard work and diligence in creating this comparison test.
I have a question about removing colored lacquer. It’s grey lacquer on a wooden chair. I’d like to know what in your experience has been the best lacquer remover. I would appreciate a response at your convenience. Thank you.
I would use quik strip or kleen strip. I believe it will remove lacquer with no problem.
@@FurnitureFlippingForProfit are we talking kleen strip lacquer thinner?
Another really helpful video. I would like to see another comparison video using: The Chippy Barn, Country Chic, Fusion, and Melange.
Great suggestion!
I’m very surprised at how my go to chalk paint scored, I have used it for years and have never had any issues with it, I even painted my kitchen cabinets with it and it’s held up beautifully
Glad to hear you are happy with it. However, there may be something even better out there. That is why I did the video. I wanted to use the best and most reasonable priced paint for my flips. It does not appear that I need to spend $40 per quart on paint when I can just use DIY paint for about $3.00 per quart!
Hi which one do you use? Did you seal them with poly? Thx
I’m trying to tap on your blog link for the diy recipe but it gives mea pop up saying ‘ looks like this domain isn’t connected to a website”. 😢
There is a paint Called DIY paint made in California by Debi’s design diary DIY paint it’s a caulk and clay based paint. The colors are super rich. Now I’m not selling it nor am I saying it’s the best but you should really try it. The colors are amazing and so is the coverage. 😍this was very awesome to watch and I appreciate it very much. Thank you. I did subscribe
Thanks Terry for the info. Someday if I do another comparison of chalk paints I will include it.
Thanks for the video, it was very informative. Dumb question. you didn't seal any of them with wax... do you ever use chalk paint without sealing it with wax?
I tested them without any sealer so I could compare apples to apples. I never seal furniture I am selling with wax because my clients do not want to have to do any maintenance to the furniture they purchase from me. You have to reapply wax every 6 months. You must always seal chalk paint with poly urethane etc or wax. You cannot use it with out a sealer or wax. thanks for watching!
No need a refill of Turkey Happy Thanksgiving. Thank you so much!
Happy holidays!
*WOW‼️😊 New subscriber❣️🤣*
YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!
@@FurnitureFlippingForProfit *You're welcome1❣️🤣*
Thank you!
I was looking for such a test and I'm very please with what you have done. I really appreciate your scientific approach, that is something I really care for.
It will be very useful to me.
Thanks again!
(I hope my english isn't too bad, if not, pardon my French ... 🤣 ... French is my native tongue. 🤭)
Thank you! Your English is perfect. I am glad you found it helpful!
@@FurnitureFlippingForProfit
😊 Thanks.
What brand of calcium carbonate do you use for your DIY chalk paint? I’ve been using plaster of Paris. Have you ever tried that? Is that comparable?
I tested both and found that the calcium Carbonate worked best. The link to where I purchase it is on my blog post where I posted the recipe. Here is the link to the blog post. Thanks for watching! www.furnitureflipping4profit.com/post/diy-chalk-paint-recipe
@@FurnitureFlippingForProfit thank you!
2:30 the test begins
Chalk paint must be protected by a wax or top coat. Did you test before or after a top coat?
Hi I did not use a sealer on any of the chalk paints so they were all equal. Yes, I always apply a sealer on a finished piece of furniture that has been chalk painted
The thing is you want your chalk paint to distress easily with a wet T-shirt that’s the whole point of using a chalk paint so it should’ve been given a higher mark for easily distressing I think
Hi Kathy, The way I distress chalk paint is with sand paper. The reason I did not pass judgement and claim that one paint was better than another is so you can decide for yourself. For example, if you want a paint that can be removed with water, you now know which one's do that. I hope you liked the video.
I DO like your video!
Very informative. What paint did you use to make the DIY chalk paint?
Behr - it is the same paint I painted the walls of my new workshop. I had some leftover.
I must be nerdy I enjoyed it all.
LOL! Glad you did!
So you mean to tell me that the Waverly paint I’ve been buying because I’m a cheapskate scored the best? I guess being a cheapskate pays off sometimes XD
LOL! I tried to be as objective as possible! I primarily now use my DIY chalk paint and DIY all in one paint when flipping furniture!
I am not sure the Chalk Rub Off and Water Wipe Off are good comparisons for this evaluation, as every chalk paint should be top-coated. Easy Rub Off and Water Wipe Off prior to top coating could be a good thing for furniture artists desiring to do some dry or "wet" distressing!
When you recalculate without the Rub Off and Wipe Off tests, here is the ranking. Also, you had Bleed Through listed 2 times. so I left one of them off my scoring. Since they all scored a 5...it didn't change the ranking.
1) DIY (23)
2) Waverly, Folk Art, Dixie Bell (22)
3) Jolie, Behr, Kilz, Chalky Chics (21)
4) Retique It, Annie Sloan (20)
5) Rustoleum (19)
6) Deco Art, Shabby Chic (18)
