Jubilee in Three

How to use Jubilee Fine Paint in

three simple steps.

Jubilee Paint is a multi-surface, water-based paint with a heavy pigment loading for superb coverage and even finishes. Unlike chalk paint, our CC-22 formula needs no waxing, no priming and sticks on virtually anything. It leaves a glorious, very tough finish for both indoor and outdoor use on a multitude of surfaces.

Jubilee only requires three simple steps, so say goodbye to tedious priming, waxing and multiple coats. This guide will include basic instructions on how to use Jubilee, as well as offer top tips for a perfect finish. Get started, with Jubilee in Three.

1. Prep

The Jubilee formula is designed to eliminate most of the prep work. However, all painting must include some prep especially when upcycling older pieces.

Make sure to thoroughly clean your piece to eliminate debris and old product buildup. Furniture polish, varnishes and waxes are barrier products, so those must be removed to ensure proper adhesion of paint. It is best to clean surfaces with a cleaner that does not include any oil or essential oils, such as sugar soap. Sugar soap or equivalent will remove mildew, smoke, product buildup, and more.

Sand out any imperfections if necessary, but Jubilee will fill in minor scratches. In some cases, high-gloss surfaces like glass, laminate, glazed tile, etc. may need a primer for better adhesion. However, our CC-22 formula is made with an innovative resin technology that allows for superior adhesion to most surfaces. Refer to our table here to see which surfaces are suitable for Jubilee paint. If you're painting over old oil based paint or varnish, it is important to remove this layer or prime over it first, as painting with water-based paint over oil substrates will lose adhesion over time.

2. Paint

Stir (don't shake) paint pots before using to mix pigment fully. Apply Jubilee in thin, even strokes using a brush, roller, or sponge of your choice. A coarser brush and high pile roller will cause brush marks to be more visible. Use a brush with finer fibre filaments or a foam roller for a smoother, more even finish. Our mottler brushes and brush sets are an excellent choice to get you started if you aren’t sure which brush to use.

For best results, Jubilee typically requires 2 coats of paint to finish most projects; however, smaller projects may only require one coat depending on the colour and the surface being painted. If using multiple coats, allow the first coat to be touch dry before applying the second coat.

3. Dry

Jubilee is typically touch dry within one hour and fully cured within 12-24 hours. Drying times can vary depending on certain surfaces and weather conditions. Unlike chalk paint, Jubilee doesn’t require waxing after drying.

And that’s it! Celebrate creating and get painting with Jubilee!
