The Best Chalk Paint for Beginners Is A Well Kept Secret

Jess Sea

I know a crafty secret. Perhaps one of the best kept secrets in the industry.

The good news?

There's a chalk paint, that dries in less than 5 minutes, covers 3 times the surface area of any other chalk paint, and doesn't even require waxing.

It's secret? It's made from sea minerals. You've heard of chalk paint and maybe you've even heard of clay paint. Sea Mineral Paint is the best of both of those worlds.

The bad news? It's only available 3 days a year. But once you're in, you're in and it just might change the way create forever.

What actually makes a chalk paint "beginner friendly"?

Not the price. Not the brand name. Not the aesthetic of the Instagram account selling it or the frequency of their social media posts.

There were a few things I was looking for in a beginner friendly chalk paint.

Intense coverage.

The ability to buff it to a smooth finish. Selfishly, I wanted the ability to buff out the drips in my projects. I needed a chalk paint that would forgive all the mistakes I was about to make.

And thanks to my unmedicated ADHD, I needed projects to dry faster than any other paint I've tried, before I lost my confidence and abandoned the whole thing.

I needed chalk paint to be virtually odorless, for my sensitive whiny baby nose. I hate that odors can ruin a craft project for me, but more than that, I hated that chalk paint came with odors.

But more than all of this, I needed chalk paint to glide on like it's life depended on it.

Only, I couldn't find a chalk paint like the one I envisioned.

So what's the best chalk paint for beginners?

In the beginning, I loved Annie Sloan. It's a wonderful product, but it was missing something. Well several somethings. And as I continued to try more and more brands of chalk paints, I realized more and more what beginners really need.

It was this realization, that lead me to creating Sea Mineral Paint. It's a well kept crafty secret, so you've probably never heard of it and if you have, you may have seen it by its nick name, SeaPaints.

This creation, finally gave me all the things I was looking for in a chalk paint.

SeaPaints dries in record time, allowing me to layer shade upon shade in minutes, not hours or days.

It truly covers in one to two coats -saving me time, money, and my sanity. No primer, no wax, no fumes. And perhaps two of the best parts, it's non-toxic and comes with a welcoming crafty community.

The versatility of SeaPaints is perhaps one its most impressive features. This stuff sticks to practically anything.
