Named after the Eucalyptus tree native to Annie’s birthplace and childhood home, Australia, this grey-green Chalk Paint® has a blue tone and ‘eau de Nil’ feel – just like the evergreen leaves of the Coolabah.
Coolabah Green beautifully complements neutrals, such as Country Grey and Paris Grey, or softer pinks, like Piranesi Pink. For a classic, harmonious feel, combine Coolabah Green and Cream or Old Ochre.- A little bit of paint goes a long way, especially when used with the proper brush. Do not fill your brush with paint, and use a light touch when applying the paint to your surface.
- You may add water to your paint depending on your preference of the finished product. We recommend using a spray bottle filled with water and spritzing the surface gently as you move along. You can also remove paint from your tin and mix a small amount of water to your desired consistency. We never recommend adding water to your paint tin directly.
- Aim for multiple thin coats to achieve your desired look instead of one thicker coat of paint. Do not apply a second coat until your first coat is completely dry.
- Some prefer to distress before waxing, and some prefer to distress after waxing. Remember, if you distress after you wax, you will need to reapply a second layer of wax. Always apply a clear coat of wax before any colored wax.
