About

Clay/Chalk/Mineral Base Paint

Clay/Chalk/Mineral Base Paint is a 100% all-natural product with no odors, zero VOCs (toxic chemicals) and contains NO LATEX and NO ACRYLIC like traditional paints.

Our key ingredient is Clay which makes the paint thicker. Our customers love the thicker paint because it covers the furniture well. Plus, the clay paint is easy to work with and distresses nicely (no chipping or peeling like most latex brands).

How Do I Use the Paint?

One of the best parts about APC paint is it requires little to no preparation when painting your furniture and home decor. There’s no sanding, stripping, or priming necessary!

Paint

Use one color, two colors, or as many as you’d like!

Distress

(Optional) Rub off the clay paint around the edges or detailed areas to reveal the base color and create the popular antique finish.

Seal

Use APC’s Vintage Antiquing Wax, or durable liquid Top Coat to seal your project.

Finish

(Optional)

Add on some embellishments such as MICA Powder, Plaster, Metallix Paint, or Glaze (stain) to finish your project.

Fabric

APC paint adheres to all these surfaces and more, but adheres differently to each surface. Be sure to play around with the paint on different types of surfaces until you are familiar with them.
