Chalk paint is average in price, but sticks to anything and requires no prep. Just clean and paint. So you eliminate cost of primer and sander/sand paper. You want to do a wipe on poly or something after to protect.
There are some 1-coat, durable paints now. Check with your paint store or Home Depot/Lowe's paint dept. I don't think you'll need to sand unless current finish is gloss or damaged.
