Dayka Trade Chalk Paints

A few years ago, paints with a chalk effect or chalky finish (from "chalk", which means chalk in English) began to be seen on the market and the rage for them began. We love Dayka Trade chalk paints for their clean finishes and rich pastel pigment hues. The finishes they offer are truly original and fun, leaving the way free for whatever the imagination wants to produce, since the possibilities of applying this type of paint are endless. With them you can paint from furniture with drawers to tin pails, through vases, photo frames, figures, paintings and mirrors, chairs or even doors. The options of surfaces on which to apply this type of paint are limitless!

Quality of Dayka Trade chalk paints

Dayka Trade chalk paints , like all of this type, are acrylic paints that contain gypsum, which gives them that matte, dry, velvety effect, like that of a blackboard. They perfectly cover any surface, not being necessary to apply more than one layer of product to cover the surface. Only if you want to achieve different effects in the finish, you can play around by applying several layers. In addition, it must be said that they do it very quickly. Another plus point. Another advantage of Dayka Trade chalk paints , as we said, is that they can be applied to practically any surface without the need for prior preparation. We can paint with them on any rigid surface, such as wood, ceramic, stone, metal or plaster, achieving a super original and professional effect, with a vintage and romantic touch that will delight anyone who sees your works of art.

Surface Preparation

As we have mentioned before, it is not necessary to prepare the surface with any special product or sand paint if you have it before applying the Dayka Trade chalk paints. Yes, it is advisable to clean the area to be painted. If it is an old object, it may be advisable to clean the surface with alcohol. If not, passing a dry or slightly damp cloth is enough to remove any traces of dust or dirt it may have. Then it is important that the surface is dry to start painting.

we start to paint

A thin layer is applied with the help of the brush or roller that we have chosen and left to dry until the shine disappears completely.

effects

Once the first layer is completely matte, it will mean that it has finished drying. We can leave it that way or try to achieve different effects by applying more layers, but always respecting the drying times between layers. It is also possible to achieve a vintage or aged finish by abrading in different areas with the help of fine sandpaper or a metal pad. In this way, we will be exposing the material on which we have painted or the painting that was previously. It is possible to paint a first layer of one color from the Dayka Trade chalk paint range and overlay another color so that the first color shows through when wearing away some areas. Play with your imagination!

clean the surface

After being worn, dust and dirt are generated that must be removed. You can easily do this with the help of a damp cloth.

protective finish

If you want to protect Dayka Trade chalk paints, it is advisable to apply Dayka Trade wax or varnish. The wax will give it a shiny appearance, so if you want to keep the matte effect, we recommend applying a Dayka Trade varnish. At Centro Artesano we have the Dayka Trade chalk paint collection , as well as a wide range of products from this brand that you can combine in your designs. Go ahead and show us your creations!
