Description

Jubilee is Guild Lane's furniture paint, made in Kent and named for the British Standard colours of the 1930s that inspired its palette. Each shade has a story on the tin — a racing heritage, an Admiralty flag, a Georgian architect's house — and the colours have the depth that comes from being drawn from history rather than a trend.

It is an easy paint to live with. Stir it, and paint. There is no priming and no sealing, it is touch dry in under an hour, and the CC-22 formula levels itself out as it dries, so brush marks settle into a smooth, soft-sheen finish that does not need waxing afterwards. That is the practical difference from a chalk paint: the finish is the finish.

It also goes on more than furniture. Metal, glass, ceramic, plastic, fabric, leather and stone are all within reach, indoors or out, which makes it the tin to open for a garden chair, a lamp base or a picture frame as readily as for a chest of drawers.

Low odour, water-based, and everything cleans up with warm soapy water.

How to use

What you'll need: a clean, dry surface, a synthetic brush or a small roller, and a stirrer. No primer, no sealer, no wax.

Clean the piece. Wash off grease, wax and grime with sugar soap or a mild detergent, rinse, and let it dry. Give a glossy or very smooth surface a light key with fine sandpaper so the paint has something to grip; raw wood and matt surfaces need nothing more than cleaning.
Stir well. The pigment is heavy and settles. Stir from the bottom of the tin until the colour is even all the way through.
Paint. Brush or roll on a thin, even coat and leave it alone — the paint levels itself as it dries, so brush marks disappear on their own if you resist going back over them.
Second coat. It is touch dry in under an hour; wait about 2 hours before recoating. One coat gives strong coverage, and a second adds depth of colour and durability.
Let it harden. The surface is dry within a day, but allow around 21 days before heavy use, hot mugs or scrubbing. Nothing needs to go over it — no wax, no top coat.
Clean up. Brushes and rollers wash out in warm soapy water while the paint is still wet.

Wet paint in the tin is not a reliable guide to the dried colour — test a patch and let it dry before you judge a shade.
