How to Finish and Protect your Chalk Paint Projects

Bare or No Topcoat

Leaving your chalk-painted surface bare, or with no topcoat, is the simplest treatment with the least alteration to the finish. However, adding no protection means your piece is vulnerable to the elements, wear and tear, and natural distressing.

Pros

• Maintains beautiful chalky, matte finish
• Naturally patinas and distresses over time
• Time and budget friendly

Cons

• Does not change color or finish of paint
• Least protection
• Not for daily wear and tear
