To remedy this from happening- you can lightly sand it to scuff the surface. The paint literally separated and no mater how many coats you apply- it keeps doing this! (So, don’t waste paint and stop after applying the first coat on the first section) Notice when you put paint on the Mat, it will also do this. This issue may be more common when painting a piece from IKEA, or Target or …for me (The Purple Painted Lady®) – it was an old piece from The Bombay Co.Īnother possibility from fellow Chalk Paint® stockist Gypsy Lovell shared that this could because the furniture is made with silica ….which is similar to Annie’s Mix Mat. Don’t waste your paint by having to use extra coats to get it to cover. Sand in the same direction you plan on applying the paint or that the wood grain goes. If I see this happening after my first brush stroke, I usually will wipe the paint off and lightly sand to scuff the surface. Sometimes certain materials – like laminate is coated with a topcoat that can cause the paint to separate. Think how often end caps of kitchen cabinets are a composite but the cabinet doors are all wood. Think about it, often in the construction of furniture, multiple materials are used. So, if the sides of a piece are fine, and only the top or the front is having this issue, it most likely is based on the material used there. If it was the cleaner, it would typically cause the paint to repel all over or in random areas, versus only on some of the sections of it – and where the problem is, it covers that entire surface totally. Often people immediately jump to that cleaner was left behind however, that is not always the case. Has your paint separated within seconds after applying it to a piece of furniture?
