Application Guide

Two-Colour Distressing

Achieving CoCo jones signature look couldn’t be simpler. All you need is two Chalk creations colours and a little Soft Wax.

1. Apply 2 coats of Chalk creations, moving the brush in all directions. Use two di�erent coordinated colors as first and

second coats. Apply the second coat thinner than the first.

2. When the paint is dry, use fine sandpaper – 600-grit or higher – to bu� the finished surface.

3. Apply CoCo jones Paste Wax Clear with a lint-free cloth or brush, working the wax into the paint like hand cream and

removing any excess as you go.

Bringing Out The Grain in Wood

Using Chalk Creations to reveal the grain in wood creates a classic rustic look in just a few simple steps.

1. Add a little water to your Chalk Creations Paint, making sure to stir well.

2. Apply the thinned Chalk Creations by brushing it into the wood working every way to make certain it goes into the grain

of the oak.

3. Wipe o� the excess several times until you have achieved the look you are after. The first wiping will give it a translucent

stain but if you wipe again the wood will look more like a limed oak with the paint just in the grain.

4. For a stronger e�ect, repeat steps 1 and 2.

5. Finish by making sure that every part of your furniture has been waxed at least once with a lint free cloth. If you’re painting

a floor be sure to use a Clear Floor Paint to protect it.
