Athenian Black is a true, deep black Chalk Paint colour developed to reflect the opaque figures and dramatic silhouetted shapes painted on Ancient Greek ceramics. Chalk Paint is a decorative furniture paint specifically designed by Annie Sloan to be easy to use, quick, and reliable. Chalk Paint very rarely requires any preparation, such as sanding or priming, and can be used indoors or outside, on just about any surface. Chalk Paint can be used to paint wood, it can be used to paint metal, it can be used to paint melamine, it can be used to paint flooring, it can be used to dye fabric, and it can even be used to paint glass! After painting, seal indoor furniture with Chalk Paint Wax. On floors, seal with Chalk Paint Lacquer. Please note that colours shown here will vary depending on screen settings.
