Decoration Paint Cornwall Black covers approximately 8 to 10 m² per liter per coat. For an even and durable result, we recommend applying two coats. The exact coverage depends on the surface and its level of absorbency.

No, Decoration Paint is not officially a chalk paint. Genuine chalk paint has a different base composition. Decoration Paint is of significantly higher quality than traditional chalk or lime paints. A key difference is durability: Decoration Paint is washable, whereas chalk paint generally is not. Thanks to its powdery matte finish, it has a similar appearance to chalk or lime paint — but with far better performance.

Absolutely! We spent a long time perfecting the ideal formula to achieve the highest quality and the most beautiful finish. As a result, the paint is washable and suitable for both interior and exterior use.

The paint is porous, which means grease stains may occur — for example, when used in a kitchen. Our advice? Apply the Decoration Paint “extra matte varnish” as a protective finish. This varnish is transparent, colourless, and provides ideal protection for your painted surface. It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

Because the paint is porous, it does not protect wood in the way a lacquer would. In this case as well, the “extra matte varnish” is the perfect solution — apply it to provide additional protection for wooden surfaces.

Yes! The paint has an ideal texture and offers excellent coverage. For standard applications, two coats are often sufficient.

Keep in mind that colour choice also affects coverage. Highly pigmented shades, such as Medici Red, may require an additional coat compared to other colours in the collection. Do you have specific questions? Feel free to contact us — we’re happy to advise you.

Always ensure that the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust and grease. Unlike most types of paint, you do NOT need to sand furniture or accessories before applying Decoration Paint.

The paint can be applied with a brush or roller. When using specific decorative techniques, it may be diluted with water or varnish if required.

Unlike most types of paint, you do not need to apply a primer or undercoat on bleeding wood. However, we do recommend applying a solid layer of “extra matte varnish” before applying Decoration Paint. This helps seal the surface and prevents tannins from migrating through the paint layer.

Application & Coverage
Apply with a roller, brush, block brush, or paint sprayer on a clean, dry surface. In doubt? Always test on a small area first.
