• Staalmeester Series One Wide Flat Brush
• Staalmeester 1-1/2” flat brush

Prepping a table for paint

This very old oak table needed a real good cleaning. We wiped it down with TSP Alternative diluted in water. We repeated and changed the water several times to make sure any grease residue was removed entirely. Since most of the original finish was already removed, it did not need any sanding.

Chestler, a New Fusion Mineral Paint Colour

Chestler is a show-stopping complicated blue-green that is boasting with depth and intention. This shade will make you stop and dive into its abyss of colour. Pair with Park Bench for a regal look or Limestone for a classic feel.

Painting The Chess Table

We painted the table with Chestler from the new colour collection. One full coat more or less covered the table with just a few touch-ups. Since this table was being used as a chess table, we opted not to add a finish. Alternatively, for a more durable finish, you can top coat it with Fusion Stain & Finishing Oil. We recommend using the SFO for top coating our darker colours such as Chestler.

So far we’ve seen a range of beautiful dark and moody colours, perfect for creating an intimate and cozy atmosphere in your home. Chestler is this stunning deep blue with a touch of green. We are sure it will become a favourite for those who love dark shades. If you like the look of interiors with deep rich tones, this colour will inspire you to get creative with your projects. Remember, Paint it Beautiful!

Check out this beautiful new colour up close and the comparisons to our other blues. When compared to our Liberty Blue on the left, which has a solid purple undertone, the green undertone of Chestler shines. Compared to Midnight Blue on the right which leans more towards black Chestler showcases its complicated blue-green.
