Is Annie Sloan Satin Paint water-based or oil-based?

It is oil-based. That gives a hard, wipeable satin film, but it also means a stronger smell and slower drying than water-based satin paints.

Can I use it over Annie Sloan Chalk Paint?

Yes. It is designed to go over Chalk Paint as a tougher topcoat for cabinets, trim and furniture, and it also works on bare or previously painted wood that has been prepared.

How long does it take to dry?

Expect a longer cure than water-based paint. Plan on overnight drying and a longer interval between coats, and allow several days before heavy use.

How do I clean brushes and spills?

Use mineral spirits or a dedicated oil-paint brush cleaner. Soap and water will not break down the oil base.

Is it good for kitchen cabinets?

Yes. The satin finish is harder and more wipeable than matte chalk paint, which is why owners use it on cabinets and built-ins. Prepare and prime the surface first for the best adhesion.
