Chalk paint is one of the most popular choices for refurbishing and chalk painting furniture. Annie Sloan, the originator of chalk paint, used to be the only brand you could buy, but today, there are many brands on the market.

Valspar, Rustoleum, Magnolia Home and other brands have all jumped into the chalk paint market. So which brand is the best?

In this video, I compare Annie Sloan’s Chalk Paint to Rustoleum Chalked Paint. The criteria for my comparison are:

Cost
Availability
Types of surfaces
Application
Colors
Bang for your buck

I will speak to durability in a future video, as I only recently began to use Rustoleum’s Chalked Paint and have not been able to determine how it stands the test of time.
