Hey All,
I just sprayed a custom-built sideboard with A.S. chalk paint. Rough finish but beautifully consistent color Sorry, pictures will not help to point out my concern. Some points to note.
First, a few years back, I brushed this brand on my hand-built kitchen cabs and distressed for an older "farm house" look. They turned out great. The finishing sequence was tinted Mohawk Vinyl Sealer, two coats A.S. Chalk Paint and top coat with ML Campbell Flat Aqualente. No problems 4 years later.
This recently completed piece has been primed with the same vinyl sealer and sprayed with my 4-stage Fuji using a 1.3mm tip. Paint was thinned to a useable viscosity but still the application was a bit rough. Sanded the first coat smooth with 320 grit. Coverage on both coats was flawless compared to brushing but the finish is something like rolled on wall paint. I researched and found a plausible reason -It was suggested the pigments in this proprietary paint are larger or chunkier so they'll never lay down like Latex.
Hopefully the WB lacquer topcoat will take some of the roughness out of the finish.
Comments and experience with the product is appreciated and thanks in advance.
