Fusion Mineral Paint | Chalk Paint for Furniture Refinishing

Fusion Mineral Paint is a professional quality, water based, 100% acrylic furniture paint with a built in top coat, so it levels smoothly, gives excellent coverage, and does not usually require a separate sealer for everyday furniture use. At Art Noise in Kingston, Ontario you can explore our full range of colours and tester sizes in the Fusion Mineral Paint collection, then round out your project kit with prep products and finishes in Fusion paints, waxes, and topcoats and other furniture paints and accessories. If you are new to the line, our in depth Fusion Mineral Paint guide walks you through the basics of how this paint compares to regular wall or trim paint.

Fusion Mineral Paint is designed for minimal prep, but good cleaning and a quick scuff sand will always give you better results. Most pieces only need a thorough degrease and light sanding, which you can handle with the abrasives and cleaners in our sanding and surface prep collection, followed by your chosen colour from the Fusion Mineral Paint collection. For slippery or glossy surfaces, our Fusion Mineral Paint guide explains when to add specialty adhesion primers or other furniture paint accessories to make sure your paint bonds well.

Fusion has a built in acrylic top coat that dries to a durable matte finish, so for low and medium traffic pieces like dressers, side tables, and bedroom furniture, you can usually stop after a couple of coats from the Fusion Mineral Paint collection. For high use surfaces such as kitchen tables, cabinet doors, or bathroom vanities, many customers like to add extra protection with products from our Fusion finishes, Tough Coat, waxes, and oils or other furniture paint accessories. For a deeper dive into when a top coat is recommended, read the Fusion Mineral Paint guide and our article on acrylic finishes and top coats in the Art Noise Handbook.

Yes, Fusion Mineral Paint is an excellent choice for refreshing kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities, and built in storage when you combine good prep with the right tools. Start by cleaning and scuff sanding your doors and frames using supplies from sanding and surface prep, then choose your colour in the Fusion Mineral Paint collection. For smooth, professional looking results, pair your paint with quality brushes and rollers for furniture painting, and consider extra top coat or finishing oils from Fusion paints and finishes for high moisture areas. If you are planning a larger room makeover, you can also coordinate cabinets with walls using our interior paints made in Kingston.

A 500 mL pint of Fusion Mineral Paint typically covers about 75 square feet, which is often enough for a dresser, a small table and chairs, or a standard set of cabinet doors, depending on colour and surface. If you are planning a furniture flip or room refresh, you can browse the Fusion Mineral Paint collection to choose tester sizes for colour sampling and full pints for main coats, then add any extra sealers or specialty finishes you might need from Fusion’s companion products. For help estimating how much paint to buy for your specific piece, the Fusion Mineral Paint guide includes coverage tips and project planning ideas.

Fusion Mineral Paint usually dries to the touch in about 30 minutes and can often be recoated after a few hours, but like most acrylic paints it continues to harden and cure over several weeks. We recommend treating freshly painted furniture or cabinets from the Fusion Mineral Paint collection gently for the first couple of weeks, avoiding heavy objects, harsh cleaners, or constant moisture while the finish reaches full strength. For detailed timing, temperature tips, and advice on when to add extra protection with products from Fusion top coats and finishing oils, check the instructions in our Fusion Mineral Paint guide.

Fusion works beautifully with high quality synthetic brushes and low nap microfibre rollers, which help the paint self level for a smooth, brush mark free finish on furniture and cabinets. At Art Noise you can pair any colour from the Fusion Mineral Paint collection with tools specifically chosen for furniture painting in our brushes and rollers collection, and prep your surfaces using sanding sponges, pads, and cleaners from sanding and surface prep. The Fusion Mineral Paint guide also explains when to choose a brush, when to switch to a roller, and how to get the best finish on different types of furniture.
