Description
My loss is your gain! I am no longer a retailer of American Paint Company and I have WAY too many unused, unopened cans, pots, etc that will never get used. Offering the remainder of my inventory at DEEP discounts. All cans/pots are sealed and have been stored inside, never frozen.Clay / Chalk / Mineral Base Paint is a 100% all natural product with no odors, Zero VOCs (toxic chemicals) and contains NO LATEX and NO ACRYLIC like traditional paints.
Our key ingredient is Clay which makes the paint thicker. Our customers love the thicker paint because it covers the furniture well. Plus, the clay paint is easy to work with and distresses nicely. (No chipping or pealing like most latex brands.)
How do I use the paint?
One of the best parts about APC paint is it requires little to no preparation when painting your furniture and home decor. There’s no sanding, stripping or priming necessary!
There are three basic steps to using Clay/Chalk/Mineral based paint.
PAINT – Use one color, two colors, or as many as you would like!
DISTRESS (optional)- Rub off the clay paint around the edges or detailed areas to reveal the base color and create the popular antique finish.
SEAL – Use APC’s Vintage Antiquing Wax, or durable liquid Top Coat to seal your project.
OPTIONAL Step 4 – Add on some embellishments such as MICA Powder, Plaster, Metallix paint, or Glaze (stain) to finish your project.
How far does a can of paint go?
A Quart can is recommended for larger projects and the 4oz. pot is recommended for smaller projects or to test out a color.
Approximate coverage depends on absorbency and texture of surface. You may also mix the paint with water (without effecting the color pigments) for more coverage.Quart coverage is approx. 75 square feet and the 4oz. pot coverage is approx. 10 square feet.
What type of surfaces can I paint on?
The paint will adhere to any surface such as wood, brick, plastic, glass, terracotta, fabric and more.
However, the paint adheres differently to each surface, so be sure and play around with the paint on different types of surfaces until you are familiar with them.
