Annie Sloan Chalk Paint™ Capability Green

Capability Green is a warm, natural green inspired by the beauty of the English landscape. Use it to bring the soothing qualities of the outdoors, indoors.

Available in 120ml and 1 litre tins.

New! Capability Green - Limited Edition

The name is a nod to the lush gardens of the 18^th Century English landscape gardener Lancelot “Capability” Brown, who remains to this day the most celebrated English gardener. His greatest works merged the rolling landscape of untamed country parks with flower gardens and ha-ha walls.

A colour that is gentle and soothing to the eye, Capability Green works well with most other colours in the palette, but particularly well as a neutral base alongside blues, pinks and yellows.

Capability Green has been especially developed alongside Annie Sloan’s friends at the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) to celebrate the great English outdoors.

How To Finish Annie Sloan Chalk Paint™

Chalk Paint™ should be sealed with Annie Sloan Wax or Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Lacquer to finish and protect. Lacquer and wax will slightly darken the colour of the paint. Apply Lacquer with a Annie Sloan Foam Roller or Annie Sloan Flat Smooth Brush and wax with an Annie Sloan Wax Brush or lint free cloth.

Wax Finish:

Use a lint free cloth, sponge or wax brush to apply.
Work the wax into the paint and wipe away before it's dry
Create a shiny finish by leaving for 24 hours and buff to a sheen wax will be touch dry within a few hours and cures within 5-21 days
You can use your furniture right away with care. Be careful not to chip or scratch during the curing period.

Lacquer Finish:

Do a patch test to check lacquer doesn't pull bleed through in your finish
Avoid using multiple coats of lacquer over dark colours
If extra protection is required use a couple of coats of gloss lacquer before finally finishing with a coat of matt
Gloss Lacquer will add a light sheen but is not super glossy
