Has anyone used Wilko's chalky finish furniture paint?

What's it like to paint with? I've used a tin of their other furniture paint before & hated it but have two pieces of furniture I'd like to give a new lease of life.

Not used wilko version but did use chalky finish paint for bedroom furniture and it looks really good.

Thanks millimat, it's for a blanket box and headboard that I don't want to replace at the moment. I'm considering gold Rustoleum for my mirror too & fancying that up a bit too.

We used some chalk paint from the Aldi aisle of shite on a dressing table and it’s come up beautifully if that helps.

Interested in this thread?

Maybe I'll just go for it and see! Can't be any worse to paint with than the stuff I used on the unit at the top of the stairs :)

Yy Aldi chalk paint it’s very good & easy to work with, Rustoleum is good as well.

Daughter has just used some furniture paint from B&Q
Really easy to use and a great finish.
She painted 3 chest of drawers which were varnished pine, no sanding, or stripping, just washed with sugar soap solution then paint straight on.
Took 3 coats but they dried very quickly
Only £8 a tin and she used just over one tin
