The new Chalky Finish Wall Paint range promises to provide the quality, colour and durability that Rust-Oleum is famous for. In households, our walls go through a lot of wear and tear. However, the emulsion promises to stand up to scuffs and stains.

One of the biggest selling points of the new paint is that not only is it stain resistant, but it also has a higher abrasion resistance than ordinary paints. That means you can clean and scrub your wall without fear of ruining the finish.
When tested, the paint was shown to undergo 10,000 scrubs without affecting the paint finish. That is great news for families, especially if you have kids with mucky hands or a creative streak for drawing on walls.
