Yes! You can use Chalk Paint® for outside projects!
As in shutters, doors, porch floors, staining concrete, painting barns, outdoor furniture, swingsets, birdhouse, concrete benches, mailbox posts, (and I can go on and on…)
One of our amazing customer’s who owns a local consignment shop near us called Lu’s Back Door loves the color Napoleonic Blue.
If interested in buying Napoleonic Blue Chalk Paint® on-line- visit HERE. (We ship same day and offer the lowest flat rate shipping fees)
Napoleonic Blue is a bright blue – almost like a coneflower blue. And is a great color for your painting pantry since it is – by default – a primary color!
DARKER NAVY Chalk Paint®?:
Keep in mind- if you want a darker Navy- by mixing 4 parts Napoleonic Blue to 1 part Graphite OR 2 parts Napoleonic Blue to 1 part Graphite – you can create some perfect “navy” options.
So, Teresa used Napoleonic Blue to paint her front door and house shutters a year ago. What do you think?
PAINTING DECKS:
The Purple Painted Lady is also so impressed with this pool/deck transformation done using Chalk Paint® by Annie Sloan.
the painted penny completed this using 5 quarts of Graphite and 1 quart French Linen for the deck around pool and upper deck. Great coverage and great results. Next, she is moving onto the fencing, planter dividers, bar and pool.
When painting decks- please make sure to power wash off any loose paint or old stain prior to your project. Thinning the paint with water is also suggested. If painting an outside area like this- do it when there is no rain in the forecast for at least 24 hours too.
OUTSIDE FLOWER POTS:
At The Purple Painted Lady – the flower pots in front of our Macedon store were just ……pea green. Not a bright or eye catching green…plain ole’ …pea green. So…a little Chalk Paint® by Annie Sloan to the rescue!
YES! You can use it on plastic without a primer or a top coat outside and it will last!!!!! A little Pure White, Florence, Provence and Burgundy (mixed with Pure White to achieve that Berry color)
So see…..Yes- Chalk Paint® can withstand the crazy weather elements in northern NY!

If painting outdoor metal furniture that has rust on it:
Rust will bleed through seven coats of paint, so make sure if you have outdoor metal furniture that has rust – seal it with Rust-Oleum® Clean Metal Primer before painting or using Lacquer.
