Rust-oleum says to use synthetic brushes or foam. on amazon site for chalked paint brushes they are natural boar. so what should i use?

I find those expensive boar bristle brushes good for chalk style paints only if you're after that deeply textured brush stroke look. I'm not a fan of that look. I use the Rustoleum Chalked Paints quite frequently and by far, my favorite brush is the Wooster foam brush. It looks alot like the super cheap foam brushes, but it leaves an incredibly smooth surface and can be washed and reused over and over. If you want a more traditional brush, go with a mid-road synthetic like the Wooster short cut (I swear I don't work for wooster). I also dilute this paint and spray it in an HVLP sprayer for large projects, and it works beautifully!

is 'linen white' white white or what

I would describe the linen white as a true and bright white, it creates a beachy look. I love it. It's the best white I've seen in a paint other than Benjamin Moore's Simply White. And if you're familiar with that color, this linen white is a brighter white in comparison. So if you're wanting a linen white that's in the beige or a flax linen color family, this is not it. Some ACE hardware stores and possibly others that carry this paint, have an entire selection of colors that can be mixed on site for a custom color.

How big of a piece of furniture could a 30oz can cover?

It covers a few hundred square feet. That's sometimes hard to translate to furniture so I hope it's helpful if I just tell you that I can't think of a single piece of furniture that would require opening a second can. A can will get two coats on 2 or 3 large dressers, a large dining table with chairs, or a couple of armoires, all with some left over.

Can I paint faux leather fabric

I'm responding to the questions/comments below about chalk painting on fabric. You definitely can paint fabric! I chalked an old chair with horrible gold velvet upholstery. You must dilute your paint & apply multiple coats-drying in between. I sealed with clear wax to finish & the result is wonderful & soft like old soft leather🥰

Dries very fast so take in small quantities

Amazing for painting furnitures. More than one coat is required and also a top protection is safe to avoid scratches and marks

Not recommended

This paint was very disappointing. The coverage is poor, requiring multiple coats just to hide even a light base color. The texture feels thin and watery, and it doesn’t spread evenly no matter how carefully you apply it. After drying, the finish looks patchy and uneven, and to make things worse, it chips and peels far too easily. The color also doesn’t match the shade shown on the label, which makes it even more frustrating. Overall, it’s not worth the time, effort, or money. I would not recommend this paint to anyone looking for quality results.
