I love testing out new chalk paints and it’s always fun to see how they look side-by-side on the same piece of furniture.Speakers are excellent, aren’t they? A good pair of speakers can change the atmosphere of any room, both acoustically and aesthetically! Because speakers are not just there to play music for you, they also work as a showpiece.Īlthough to allow the speakers to unleash their full aesthetic prowess, they need to match the decorative motif of your room. Well I hope you enjoyed my little review and comparison of the Behr chalk paint and the Rust-Oleum chalk paint. However, if you want a custom color, I think the Behr chalk paint is definitely the way to go.

The biggest difference I noticed was in the coverage–Rust-Oleum offers more coverage per coat of paint and it was less streaky than the Behr paint.Both applied easily and adhered well to the cabinet with no prep whatsoever and no primer. For the most part I feel like these two chalk paints are very similar.Here’s the finished look: Recliners linked here For the sake of this review I didn’t use any finishing wax or sealers. Both dried to a matte finish, but the Behr side was a bit smoother to the touch.Īfter the paint was fully dried I added a little distressing to both sides with sandpaper.Both applied easily on the second coat and there was no buildup.The Rust-Oleum paint seemed more pigmented.It definitely needs a third coat of paint. You can see in the side by side comparison–the left side (Behr) is more streaky.After finishing the second coat it was obvious the Behr chalk paint didn’t give as much coverage as the Rust-Oleum chalk paint.Thoughts after the 2nd coat of both chalk paints: They also both dried quickly as well–I’d say both sides were dry within 15 minutes.Both paints went on easily and application was a breeze.The Rust-Oleum chalk paint offered more coverage after one coat of paint.Right away I noticed the Behr paint was a little thicker in consistency, but it went on streaky.Thoughts after the 1st coat of both chalk paints: Here’s how the cabinet looked after the first coat of paint: Then I painted one half with the Behr chalk paint and one half with the Rust-Oleum chalk paint. For this comparison I did nothing to prep the cabinet other than clean it up and remove dust.
