Painting over mod podge

Pickin Pyro
by Pickin Pyro
I chalk painted then mod podge and acrylic spray coated this box and I don't like it. How do I go about stripping or painting over it? I'd like to paint and make a side table instead of what it is

    Sand it unless you do it won't look smooth

    You can use Citristrip stripper to remove everything. Or sand it smooth, prime with KILZ or BIN, them paint.

    you will have to remove the decals or they will show through as raised design. You can scrape them off and sand edges if you don't want to strip the entire piece, but whatever you can feel with your hand, however slight, will show in the paint.

    I agree with using Citristrip. It may take two coatings ... one to remove the coating and decals and one to remove the chalk paint. But you may get lucky and need only one coating.

    I'm giving another upvote to the Citristrip. Then sand, then tack cloth, then prime, then paint. Prep is absolutely everything.
