Pure Satin Paint 

Pure Satin Paint gets its name because it is a true, clean, colourless white containing only white pigments. It is crisp, fresh colour without any of the coldness of a blue-tinted “brilliant” white. Due to the colourant-free nature of the colour additional coats may be required to achieve opacity. Use with Upstate Blue to create a traditional Gustavian or Swedish look.

Old White Satin Paint 

Old White Satin Paint is a classical, versatile, slightly cool-toned white. It is Inspired by the colour of traditional gesso and refined chalk, a soft white with strong character. It works with every colour and is a fail-safe choice with any other shade. Use with Oxford Navy or Aubusson Blue to create a grand yet cosy space. 

Original Satin Paint

Frequently Asked Questions

How Many Coats of Annie Sloan Satin Paint Do You Need?

The number of coats required will depend on the colour, surface and coverage achieved. Some colours may require additional coats to achieve the desired opacity. This is particularly relevant to Pure, which contains only white pigments and may require additional coats for full opacity. Always allow the previous coat to dry before applying another.

How Long Does Annie Sloan Satin Paint Take to Dry?

Drying times will vary depending on temperature, humidity, ventilation and the surface being painted. For radiators, they should be switched off and allowed to cool completely, with a minimum of four hours drying time before turning it back on. For general projects, follow the product information supplied with the paint and allow sufficient time between coats.

Can You Use Annie Sloan Satin Paint on Furniture?

Yes. Annie Sloan Satin Paint has been specifically developed as a one-step solution for painting wooden and metal furniture. It is particularly useful when you want a more contemporary finish than traditional Chalk Paint, while still having the convenience of not needing to apply a separate Wax or Lacquer.

Can Annie Sloan Satin Paint be used for Doors, Skirting Boards & Architraves?

Yes it is particularly well suited to interior doors, skirting boards, architraves and other woodwork because it has been designed for areas that experience regular use. It can also be used alongside Annie Sloan Wall Paint, allowing you to coordinate the colour of your walls with your woodwork.

Do You Need to Sand Before Annie Sloan Satin Paint?

For the best results, the surface should be clean, dry and free from dust, debris and oil-based contaminants before applying Satin Paint. We recommend thoroughly cleaning surfaces with a water-based detergent such as sugar soap. Whether sanding is required will depend on the condition and existing finish of the surface. For previously painted woodwork in good condition, thorough cleaning and preparation may be sufficient. Glossy, damaged or unsuitable surfaces will require additional preparation / sanding to provide a suitable surface for painting.

Do You Need Wax or Lacquer Over Annie Sloan Satin Paint?

No. This is one of the key differences between Annie Sloan Satin Paint and Annie Sloan Chalk Paint. Once Satin Paint has been applied correctly, there is no need to apply Chalk Paint Wax or Lacquer over the top. Satin Paint has been formulated with its own protective properties for interior use. This makes it a convenient option for furniture, doors, skirting boards and other high-use interior surfaces.
