One Step Paint FAQ

One Step Paint is a chalk-style, calcium-carbonate paint designed to create antique beauty without stripping, sanding, priming, or sealing. Simply clean your surface, apply the paint, and let it dry. It delivers rich color and a flat matte finish that can be left as-is or layered with waxes, glazes, milk paint, or specialty finishes.

Your next beautiful piece is waiting.

Rescue. Restore. Redecorate.

A completely handy reference guide!

One Step Paint - Color Guide

Store owner replied: So glad you liked it! Thanks, Patricia!

The hand painted samples in the booklet is perfect to use for many projects.

One Step Paint - Color Guide

Store owner replied: Thank you, Jacqui!

The color chips help keep from going wrong with a color match and decisions. The online images aren't accurate enough. These excellent paints are expensive so the color chart, which is accurate, protects you.

One Step Paint - Color Guide

Store owner replied: thank you! great feedback.

Just got it to see the colors to hope paint my counters

One Step Paint - Color Guide

Love all the colors and the sample card arrived super fast! I can't wait to plan my next project.

One Step Paint - Color Guide

Store owner replied: So thrilled you love it, friend! Thanks so much for being apart of our tribe.

The color choices are perfect! I love having the color choice book. Just viewing the colors I think of other pieces that would be just beautiful painted!

One Step Paint - Color Guide

This is a great help. Must have before buying a sample!

One Step Paint - Color Guide

Store owner replied: Thanks Greta, we are thrilled you found it helpful!

Did not have the color that I wanted I think it’s on your other pallet but none of these are the ones that I wanted.

One Step Paint - Color Guide

The little dots of color are so small it’s proving Difficult to tell how they would look once a piece of furniture it completely covered

One Step Paint - Color Guide

The colors options are absolutely fantastic. I am anxious to get my paint ordered and to kick off my first project! I purchased the color card so I could see the colors more clearly and walk around with them in different lighting. That being said, what I paid for the color card is ridiculous. I thought perhaps it would be a little more substantial than a color card from a big box store.

One Step Paint - Color Guide

I wish the paint swatches were a bit larger. It's hard to use if trying to find a match for a project in order to cover scratches.

One Step Paint - Color Guide

I love having my color chart. It will be awesome for future planning projects for my decor.

One Step Paint - Color Guide

I am considering on painting some furniture in my home and this color sample will give me a step towards that!

One Step Paint - Color Guide

The color guide really helped me choose the color I needed for my project. Highly recommend

One Step Paint - Color Guide

So many colors to choose from that it’s really hard to make up my mind which one I want to use for my project. They are all so yummy.

Question : how would Peacock Ambrose work on a front door of house which is Black now?

One Step Paint - Color Guide

Unfortunately, the color I picked out and sent to me, is vastly different from the color in your color guide. I was expecting a much darker gray, ( a good man is hard to find). I cannot use this paint. The color is a light to medium gray.

One Step Paint - Color Guide

Would love it if you sold small samples! I’m undecided between 3 colors

One Step Paint - Color Guide

I purchased this when I bought a can of paint because shipping fee made it not worth buying on its own in my opinion. I’m glad I have it now for future projects. The paint was very easy to use and truly a 1-step process

One Step Paint - Color Guide

I can finally make the right paint choices to purchase! I have lots of different blues to go through first, but now I’ll be able to find just what I’m really looking for.

One Step Paint - Color Guide

I sure hope they ship their paint a lot faster than this colour sample. I think I ordered 3 or 4 weeks ago and just received it today. They charged $7.95 for regular USPS shipping.

One Step Paint - Color Guide

Love that the sample sheet has the real paint but just wish the samples were larger!!

One Step Paint - Color Guide

Smaller than I anticipated. That said I received the information quickly and enjoyed exploring the color options. I am waiting for a sample paint as I will be painting a large entertainment center and need to calculate the actual amount of paint and tools I need. Been watching all the u tube on this product and really feel I’m in the lane for use of your product. Crossing my fingers. Happy New Year and thank you in advance for all your help. Amy

Color Guide

Samples are extremely small. Certainly not useful and not what you expect when you have to pay to get a color chart. Most paint companies give free color charts that have larger, more useful representation of the paint. Very disappointing.

Color Guide

$7.99 plus tax and shipping is a lot for a couple of pages of very small paint blotches.

Color Guide

It is very helpful yo have the true colors in the room you are trying to match..

Customer photo review of One Step Paint Color Guide

I rescued this monolithic coffee table from the neighbor’s trash and used Amy Howard at Home One Step paint to cover and restore years of abuse. It even had burns on it! I just cleaned it with One Step ( really dirty) and applied two coats of the matte black. It’ll be a great piece for the basement family room.
