The sanding and waxing soften the paint and give it a slight sheen. Once the desired color and thickness has been achieved, start painting the upholstery.

It is an arm work out and a half.
Chalk paint upholstery wax. 1 two inch angled purdy paint brush. I think this method of using chalk paint is suitable for a piece of furniture not used much. Yes, you will definitely not want to skip the wax step, as it seals the paint and makes the whole chair feel smooth to the touch!
I did my 3 kitchen stools by diluting the chalk paint with water and spraying the fabric with water it took 2 coats with 24 hours drying in between coats and sanding then i sealed it with clear seal or you can wax it but the fabric ends up feeling leathery just keep that in mind it won't feel like soft fabric anymore. I know there will be some out there who disagree, and i’m ok with that. A spray bottle with water in it.
Then, cover or tape off any areas you don’t want painted. Chalk paint® upholstery painting is a very satisfying project, and something that anyone can do easily. Here are my issues with wax finishes.
The best way i can describe it is it reminded me of an oilcloth. I tried the same method with a brown leather sofa. Make sure you cover the floor beneath your piece to catch the paint dust.
I just finished my first project on painting upholstery (chalk paint and soft wax) and the painted fabric was still pliable, but it no longer had a soft fabric feel. Pick up a 500 ml (17 fl oz) tin of wax per 3 to 4 l (0.79 to 1.06 us gal) of chalk paint you’re using for your project. When using chalk/mineral paint in a sprayer, you will need to thin it slightly with water.
Chalk paint® sands very easily, so it doesn’t take much sanding to do this. You don’t want to apply paint to a dusty or dirty surface. I also recommend straining your paint with cheesecloth, a paint straining bag, or a paper paint.
Sort of like a vinyl with a canvas texture. Day to pieces just don’t stand up to wear. Allow wax to cure a few days before using.
If paint finds its way to the wood surface, just wipe it off quickly with a damp towel. Wipe the sanded dust off of your piece, paint the legs, and apply a coat of annie sloan’s soft clear wax. Before you get started, vacuum the upholstery, or take a lint roller and run it all along the surface.
Spray the fabric down with a spray bottle in small sections. Chalk paint is very low voc so i just put a drop cloth down, taped off the wood legs, and painted my chair right in the family room. Three months later, it is a shambles.
Mix the chalk paint with some water and test it on a spot you will not be able to see, like the back of a chair or sofa. Sand in between coats of paint if desired.if you sand vacuum the sanding dust 8. Apply annie's clear wax with a wax brush to the painted fabric.
More than that, though, it’s a fantastic wax for enhancing and protecting the look of chalk paint. Why i don’t use wax to seal chalk paint. Because paint brands vary, you may need to play with thinning a little bit.
1 quart of chalk paint. This will soften the painted fabric and give a pretty luster. I just painted a chair that was old vinyl/leathery stuff.
Apply a third coat of paint if needed to cover fabric. The chalk paint has been sealed with wax, and even before that when you sand down each layer it gets off the extra “chalkiness” that is on the chair. I welcome you to share your opinions regarding waxes and top coats in the comments below.
Saturate the fabric pretty thoroughly. See more ideas about painted furniture, chalk paint, redo furniture. Do you need to seal it with any sort of wax or topcoat?
Wax and paint has peeled off, looks very patchy. If you’re using annie sloane chalk paint, choose the wax produced by the same brand for the best results. Generally, the more water and/or less coats (plus the more thoroughly you sand in step 4) the more.

Also because tape doesn’t stick well on rough fabric…. Applying wax is a fairly laborious process, in my opinion.
