Wish your Graphite Chalk Paint® would be darker (closer to black?) Check out this gorgeous post by Savvy Susanne who followed the tips The Purple Painted Lady shared on our website on "How To" do that. As always- beautiful work Susanne! https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.332732713523065.1073741841.158245880971750&type=1

Any tips on getting white dots off an almost finished piece? Painted table top graphite, clear waxed and then dark waxed, now I see white pin head dots!

Hi, Trish!!!! I just finished making a kitchen island out of an old dresser and I painted it with Miss Mustard Seeds "Ironstone" milk paint I purchased from you. I thought I would share a pic. I have an album with the entire transformation. I also wanted to thank you so much for my surprise! That was so nice of you...you're awesome!!! :)

Hello Miss Purple Painted Lady!! I wanted to share this pic with you. This is a piece that I did using Annie Sloan's Graphite where I added India Ink (per the instructions on one of your posts!!) and here's how it came out. It's actually a bit darker in person. I'm very pleased with the results with getting a blacker black and the client loves it!

Just wanted to share and thank you for the great tips you always provide on your blog!!!

Hey there. Questions for you . . . what do you think of the round bristle brushes you attach to a drill for buffing wax? I will be painting my large dining room table, 6 chairs and a large hutch with ASCP. If those brushes work, it sure would make the job easier. I would rather have it done right, though.

Have you come up with the perfect turquoise color in ASCP? I love the Florence but it's a bit too green for the "cowgirl" type turquoise I'm looking for. Thanks!! BTW...LOVE all your tips and help!!!

Color Mixer Tool! Here is the link- I hope that this tool is helpful and feel free to share it via your Facebook page or Pinterest Boards. http://www.thepurplepaintedlady.com/paint-mixer/

This Paint Mixer is meant to be a playful tool that allows you to get an idea of what a custom color will look like when you mix multiple Chalk Paint® colors.

This tool is not an accurate, exact representation of an outcome- but mathematically it is pretty darn close! Your monitor quality does play into that equation. And just remember - nothing compares to working with your local stockist and playing with real Chalk Paint®. With all that said…I hope you have fun using this Paint Mixer! •.¸¸♥ ¸¸.• Trish - The Purple Painted Lady

Question? After applying the Clear Wax, then do you sand lightly or before you apply, OR Both? I sanded my piece before the Wax, and its smooth, but then yesturday went to buy more supplies and there was a pice that was like glass. Thanks so much for the input. Half Moon Antiques
