Ratings & Reviews for Magnolia Home by Joanna Gaines Water-based Tintable Low Odor Early Riser Chalky Paint (1-quart)

Terrible result

The color is beautiful but the results were absolutely terrible. I’ve used Annie Sloan in the past, so this wasn’t my first time using chalk paint. There was all of this residue in the bottom of the can leading me to believe it wasn’t mixed properly. The result even after me trying to stir it well at home was white streaks. It’s not worth the money for this product.

Great product!

Love this product, very smooth texture. I hadn't used this product before, but I love to find bargains on the mistinted shelf.

Great find

I found this chalk paint base in the clearance section at Lowe’s It was actually marketed down to $7.00 a quart. I have never used this brand before but for $7.000, why not. It didn’t disappoint. I bought 6 quarts in 3 different colors. So far I have only used a blue color, but I love how it turned out. I also love how smooth it goes on. Good purchase. I can’t wait to paint something else.

To much work

Very expensive and requires a application of a wax coat needing buffing to make the finish a smooth surface. Better to just paint with a good high gloss and half the price. For crafters only in my opinion.

Beautiful

I love this paint

Do not place anywhere near the floor

Wonderful product that adds character in the paint, but is easily removed. It’s meant for furniture, cement, things of the nature so I used it on my fireplace which is brick. I mopped over it once (there’s a section of the floor that’s painted in the brick) & theres a spot that lifted. So beware of that. Overall it’s fast drying (1 hour) and looks amazing!

Easy

This is a chalk paint and is very easy to use with minimal prep. It looks great on my nightstands. I also purchased the Magnolia wax and it is a great protectant and adds a little sheen. Very pleased. Also, the paint man at the Snellville store was extremely helpful and was able to mix the exact color I wanted.

Chalk Paint Back to Beautiful

This chalk paint definitely sets itself apart from others. Fast drying without any issues of cracking or adhering properly to your project. Able to get a second coat on within 15 min. Goes on smooth and great coupled with that Aged + Character dark wax

Pure white Magnolia paint

Price is great for the amount of paint. However, annie sloane and dixie belle paints require less layers. Would definitely buy again if painting light items.

Best Chalk Paint … Ever!

I’ve used a lot of paint in my life but this stuff tops them all. Cabinets went from the deepest navy blue enamel to soft Blue/green/grey chalk paint - in one coat. When the paint had tried, it took on the most mellow, serene colouring and made my kitchen a showplace. The paint is incredible easy to work with. Rich texture, smooth glide and dries fast. It’s a large kitchen and 3/4 if a quart did all the drawers, cabinets and the beadboard counter which is 8’ long. Would I buy this paint...

Beautiful

The color is nice a vibrant all you need is two coats of paint.

A lot of hype

Purchased a quart of Blackboard paint to paint some furniture which had been primed. Allowed paint to cure for seven days. I slid a top of a plastic food container on the painted surface and the new paint came off. I checked other areas on the painted surface with my fingernails and the paint came off. I don't have long nails. Tried to take it back and was informed since it had been opened I could not return it. Buyer beware.

It takes more than one coat to cover

Liked the color and texture..I’d buy it again

Lowes is amazing.

I have not painted anything yet, but I gotta tell you that I am amazed I can pick a custom mixed paint color out in the morning, order it- go to work and when I get home from work it’s sitting on the porch waiting for me. Crazy. Thanks Lowes!
