Whether you're refreshing an old dresser, flipping a flea market find, or giving your kitchen cabinets a fresh farmhouse feel, Dixie Belle Infused Chalk Paint is quickly becoming a go-to for crafters and furniture painters alike. But what makes this paint different, and why should you reach for it over the others?
Let’s dive into what it is, how to use it, and some helpful tips and tricks for first-time users.
What is Dixie Belle Infused Chalk Paint?
Dixie Belle Infused Chalk Mineral Paint is a premium-quality chalk-style paint that’s infused with a built-in primer and top coat. That means:
No sanding (unless you really want to),
No priming (hallelujah!), and
A durable, low-VOC finish that adheres beautifully to nearly any surface.
It’s ideal for furniture, cabinetry, decor, metal, glass, and even fabric. The "infusion" part refers to its enhanced formula, which is as smooth as butter and ready to bond to almost anything.
🖌️ Bonus: It comes in over 60 gorgeous colors from moody blues to crisp whites to bold boho brights.
Why Choose It Over Other Paints?
Dixie Belle stands out from traditional latex, acrylic, or even other chalk paints for a few key reasons:
Ease of use: Beginner-friendly and requires little prep.
Self-leveling: Leaves a smooth, professional finish.
All-in-one formula: Saves time and steps.
Fast drying: Touch-dry in about 15-30 minutes.
Highly pigmented: A little goes a long way!
Plus, it’s made in the USA and eco-friendly, what’s not to love?
How to Use Dixie Belle Infused Chalk Paint
You don’t need to be a pro to get stunning results. Here’s a quick guide:
Clean your surface. Use a degreaser, like White Lightning (also by Dixie Belle), to remove oils, wax, or dirt.
Lightly scuff sand (optional). For high-gloss or laminate surfaces, a quick sand helps adhesion.
Apply the paint. Use a synthetic brush, sponge, or roller. It goes on smooth and even.
Dry & recoat. Wait 30 minutes to 1 hour between coats.
Add extras (optional). While it has a built-in topcoat, you can add wax, glaze, or Gator Hide for extra protection or effect.
First-Time User Tips & Tricks
✅ Start small. Try a side table or picture frame before diving into a full dresser.
✅ Don’t overload your brush. A thin coat is better than globs.
✅ Use a mister bottle. A light spritz of water helps the paint glide and self-level, especially on larger surfaces.
✅ Use quality brushes. Dixie Belle’s synthetic brushes are fantastic for smooth finishes.
✅ Try blending. This paint blends like a dream for ombré or artistic finishes.
✅ Seal strategically. While the paint has a topcoat, heavy-use items (like tabletops) will benefit from an added clear coat.
