What should you watch out for when using dark grey chalk paint on furniture?

First off, make sure you clean and prep your furniture well. That means getting rid of any old finishes or dirt and smoothing out the surface. Here’s how to clean furniture before painting for more helpful tips.
Also, keep in mind that dark colors can show imperfections more easily, so apply the paint evenly and take care of any blemishes or scratches beforehand. Some dark grey chalk paints might need a few coats to get full coverage, so be ready for that and have enough paint.
With these tips, you’ll be all set to create some awesome DIY dark grey chalk painted furniture!
