Key Features
A quality formulation
We're passionate about providing the finest quality, premium, water-based acrylic paints. The Hemway formula has been specially refined to provide a hard-wearing, fade resistant, eco-friendly and low VOC paint. Our paints are 0% Added VOCs and are the lowest possible VOC rating, along with exceeding all industry emissions regulations for the UK/EU.
UV and fade resistant
The superior pigment technology of Hemway paints means that our colours are less susceptible to fading over time. Competitor products have a tendency to fade/yellow – especially whites and light colours in areas with lots of sunlight.
The deepest and richest colours
Our paints are packed with colour and our pigment levels are 40% - 60% higher than normal paints. The premium quality mixture and high pigmentation creates the richness, depth of colour and response to light (as well as greater opacity and coverage) that set Hemway paints apart from other brands.
Superior response to light
Hemway paints have been designed to provide beautiful colour definition is all varieties of light. Changing light will bring out undertones and shift intensity of colour.

Walls, floors, radiators, window frames and all kinds of surfaces in your home can be improved with our stunning, interior paints. You're not just spoilt for choice with 118 colours to choose from but you can rest easy that your new Hemway paint can handle everything that lift throws at it.

What is Chalk Based Furniture Paint?
Chalk based furniture paint is a decorative paint known for its matte, chalky finish, often used for giving furniture a vintage or shabby chic look. It's easy to apply, requires minimal surface preparation, and adheres well to most surfaces. It's also easy to distress, adding to its antique appeal.
Vegan & Cruelty Free
Hemway products are vegan and cruelty-free, meaning they contain no animal-derived ingredients and are never tested on animals. This commitment ensures that our entire range, from paints to glitters, adheres to ethical standards, providing consumers with eco-friendly and humane options for their crafting and DIY needs.
Preparation
Can be applied to most surfaces without sanding or priming over old paint and varnish. Ensure your desired surface area is clean, free from wax, oil and dry.
Carry out a sample test in a small area first. Suitable for use with a stencil or masking tape to create shapes.
Application
With the lid secured, shake the tin well, then stir the contents of the tin with a spatula for 2 minutes. This will ensure an even mixture. We recommend using a brush or roller. Load your applicator with paint, then remove excess before applying. If using a brush, use a 2-3inch / 5-8cm paintbrush, applying a criss-cross motion to give an even spread. Allow 2 hours to dry between coats.
This paint is non-solvent, but ensure good ventilation when applying. It is not recommended for outdoor use unless coated with Hemway Clear Lacquer. You can also add a glitter effect to your project by mixing Hemway Glitter Paint Additive into the paint - which is available in a variety of colours and sizes.
The illustrated print colour may differ slightly from the final result due to light levels, surfaces and printer inks.
