I hired a painter to give my dull-looking furniture a fresh look. He checked the furniture and gave me a list of materials needed. While going through the list, I noticed something called wax and wondered how many coats of wax for chalk paint are needed. After asking the expert, I learned that for good durability and finish, it’s best to apply two or three coats of wax.

What is the Purpose of Wax Over Chalk Paint?
Chalk Paint Wax is needed to seal and protect the surface. It helps to keep the paint safe from stains and scratches and makes the furniture last longer.
The wax brings out the colour nicely and gives a smooth finish. If you want it shiny, you can just buff it after applying.
The wax can also be used to soften or slightly lighten some chalk paint colours. This is useful when we want a more subtle or lighter look.
The professional informed me, you can also apply wax directly on unpolished wood. It gives a nice limed or whitewashed look, which I think would be good for older wooden pieces.
If we accidentally apply too much wax, we can use some more clear wax to remove the excess. But we should make sure that every part of the furniture has at least one coat.
For regular cleaning, just wiping with a damp cloth is enough. But if there are tough stains, we can use a cleaner spray and apply a little wax again if needed.
I hope now you have a clear idea about how many coats of wax on chalk paint are needed.
