AMY HOWARD AT HOME Chalk-Based One Step Paint for Furniture, Cabinetry, Decor, Finish, and More | No Stripping, Sanding, or Priming | Ultra-Light Base | 16 Ounce | Almond Daze

I got the 16 oz can for shelves about 3 feet wide x 6 feet tall. It wasn’t enough. I needed a second can. I definitely don’t regret it though. I painted a mass-produced shelf cabinet with a laminate finish, but the paint adhered to it well. The before-color was ebony and the Amy Howard paint I used was a light-medium color called Java. I’d say it was just a tiny bit darker in pictures than in person, but I like it. The paint has a nice thickness, but I needed 2-3 coats to cover the piece. That’s FYI, not a complaint, though, because, in my opinion, covering an ebony piece of laminate furniture with a light-medium paint is a big challenge. Clean up was easy - soap and water. To apply the paint, I used brushes, fuzzy rollers, and foam rollers. Good coverage with brushes. With a sufficient amount of paint load, I avoided bristle lines; if you apply the paint sheerly with a brush, you’ll see them, but that happens with all paints I’ve used. The foam rollers were my favorite for applying this paint. They created a very smooth surface and got right up to the edge of the corners within the shelving, making the corners much easier. Unfortunately, I started out with fuzzy rollers, which made the coverage less smooth; that’s why I’m mentioning the better results with foam. If I could do it over, I’d use foam rollers for the entire project and touch up with a brush. The most surprising thing about this paint - I’ve never experienced this with any other brand - was its pleasant vanilla smell! It was like having an air freshener in the room. The scent is barely noticeable - just a hint of clean and comforting vanilla. It’s something that ADDS VALUE to this product. Not only does a person not to have to worry about a chemical smell, especially if someone is sensitive to them, but you get a nice bonus! For that reason, I give this product five stars. Five stars to Amazon delivery, too, for bringing the product to my door, on-time, undamaged.

Amy Howard products are worth the money. So convenient that they are on Amazon. They go on so smoothly and often a minimal second coat is needed. Such good quality and colors are vast and keeping up with what is trending and still staying traditional.

Gorgeous paint and easy to apply to anything!!! No prep is needed, just wipe off any dust and paint away!

I painted a headboard and it turned out beautifully. Best chalk paint I have used and the color is gorgeous.

I gave it four stars because it's not as dark as I thought it was going to be. It has really great coverage nice finish and no bad odor almost smells like vanilla.

I have painted alot of things over the years. I bought chalk paint when it first came out at least 15 years ago. This stuff is amazing. It goes on well, it covers, it feels good, it smells good and my tools are easy to clean. My work time has been reduced and I really like the color I chose. I am wondering if there is any downside. I am definitely using this again.

Beautiful color. Super amazing smell. Great coverage. Just...as close as perfect as can be. Looks soooo good in low lighting and full lighting too. Great value too, one quart was able to do a full dresser, a nightstand, a door, a pull out desk, and 15 floating shelves. Genuinely in love.

Packaged well, no leaks, smells nice, thick, good coverage. At first the paint Looks pink but after it dries the color is more of what I was expecting. I actually ordered a color called cheesecake but I just realized I received and used Ballet slipper I'm ordering more
