Linda on Jun 26, 2014Personally, I wouldn't use a wax finish over the Chalk paint in a kitchen. Too much grease and food spills for wax. You can use poly over it instead. That would be much better for cleaning food spills & grease.Helpful Reply

Red Rooster Antique Mall on Jun 26, 2014Have you heard the good news? You no longer need to wax and buff chalk paint. Go to Shabbypaints.com to see what's available, with no priming, no sanding, no waxing and no buffing this non toxic, no Voc, made in the USA Chalked Paint.Helpful Reply

Meena M on Jun 26, 2014Regular paint for kitchens is best. Chalk paint is more for decorative use, not practical application. And yes, you can put poly on top of it but, it needs to be water based like minwax polycrylic.Helpful Reply

Kathy on Jun 26, 2014Chalk paint will stick to anything and can be polyed over. Use water based polycrylic. If you need extra protection use several coats of poly as directed on can. They can then be cleaned .Helpful Reply
