Lightly sand,clean,prime with Kilz or Zinser,allow to dry,paint,allow to dry,and seal with a polycrylic finish.
Spray or use foam brush to get a smooth finish. Also choose carefully what finish to use; flat, satin, semi or gloss.
Zinser works best
Lightly sand to remove any gloss. Prime with a stain blocking primer like Zinsser 123. Then paint with your color. Seal with at least three coats with a water based polyurethane. Use a small foam roller and foam brush for a smooth finish.
Yes sure you can I'm working on a dresser now that isn't real wood. I just used 2 coats of primer before I used chalk paint.
