Annie Sloan Chalk Paint® Paris Grey is a soft and slightly bluish-grey color, and is the color most associated with the painted furniture in an elegant French chateau or an old Swedish manor house.
It works well with Old White, and looks great distressed over the lavender blue of Old Violet. Also, Paris Grey works well over Cream or Old English Yellow. Add a touch of gilding, and the look is complete!
Available in two sizes: Project Pot (4 oz) and a Quart.
- 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.
