KILZ® Chalk Style Paint Interior
Easily add history and character to any surface with KILZ® CHALK STYLE PAINT. It goes on thick, for excellent hide, and requires very little surface preparation. Depending on the vision you have for the project, simply apply 1 or 2 coats on a clean, dust-free, or lightly sanded surface. To enhance durability, seal the surface afterward with KILZ CLEAR SEALING WAX. An “antique” look can be achieved by applying two contrasting colors, distressed with sandpaper, and sealed with KILZ DARK SEALING WAX.

The following steps are recommended for product performance.
- Before applying KILZ CHALK STYLE PAINT, clean the surface to make sure it is free of loose or peeling paint, mold and mildew stains, rust and all other dirt and debris.
- We recommend lightly sanding glossy surfaces and repairing any imperfections*.
- Remove all dust with a damp cloth and allow to dry.
- Use KILZ CHALK STYLE PAINT on properly prepared uncoated or painted interior surfaces.
- For wood that contains tannins, such as Redwood and Cedar, a coat of primer such as KILZ PREMIUM Interior/Exterior water-based primer is recommended.
- †For optimal adhesion to difficult surfaces, use KILZ PREMIUM Primer.
- Follow the instructions on the back of the primer label and top coat it with KILZ CHALK STYLE PAINT
