Don’t let switching intimidate you – use the tool provided with your kit or sprayer, and unscrew both pieces, then switch them. I typically use the blue nozzle for mostly everything, but for this thickness of paint, I swapped it to the green instead. You don’t have to thin your chalk-style paint, but you can if you aren’t able to change the sprayer nozzle. Most of these projects you can see on my HomeRight DIY Expert page HomeRight DIY Expert page! The Secret Weapon Using the sprayer with all types of paint and stain is something we’ve done a lot of (like in my mom’s shed with latex, in the kitchen with cabinet paint, on a fireplace with latex, polycrylic on a bench, stain on a fence, and thinned latex on a chair), but I haven’t sprayed anything with chalk-style paint. If I didn’t have a sprayer that could handle chalk-style paint, I would’ve went with some other type of paint. The biggest (and only) draw for me to even attempt using chalk-style paint on these nightstands, was the silky texture of the paint and wax.

Typically, I stick with chalk-style paint on small pieces and crafts. My usual (personal) problem with chalk paint and wax are that the paint is very thick and it leaves brush strokes (both on purpose), waxing a bigger piece is hard to get evenly coated, long cure time, and buffing.

Because I am awful at painting furniture with a brush, I knew I was going to use my HomeRight Super Finish Max paint sprayer and spray shelter. I have been wanting to go with black or charcoal nightstands, and I chose Chalked by Rustoleum, in charcoal, while at the store last week. Collecting dust, spiders, and who knows what. They sat and sat all spring and summer in the garage after I stripped the hardware off and filled the holes. It will marinate in the garage until further notice. Cut to the part where we decide after the finished painting and waxing, that we both actually dislike the dry sink. I started hunting on Facebook Marketplace and scored an Ethan Allen 3-drawer nightstand, and a mini dry sink type cabinet that I figured Andrew can use to hold all his watches (that’s all he has in his nightstand… literally 1,582 watches). I’ve been wanting nightstands for a while now. The only thing we love in here, is a bench, doors, a ladder, and the bed Andrew made. While we have mostly finished the rest of the house as far as decor goes (is anyone really ever “finished” decorating a house?), our master bedroom is forever last on the list. The walls still have the same beige paint from the builder, and all we have really, is a bed and mismatched nightstands that aren’t even nightstands. We have been side-stepping erroneous pieces of nomad furniture and walking over the same laundry basket for 6 years.

There is no plan for design in our bedroom.

Did you know you can use chalk-stye paint in a paint sprayer, without thinning the paint? You totally can! I painted a nightstand with chalk-style paint, and my favorite paint sprayer with ease!
