Painting the Claw Foot Tub
Painting a bathtub is easier than you think. I had painted the inside of my old claw foot tub a couple years ago using tub and sink paint. That stuff is smelly! It's held up great, though. Recently, I painted the outside with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Old White. I also painted a fleur de lis and stripe to give it a bit more character. I used Annie Sloan's Paris Grey paint. You can see the full project on my blog. http://townandcountryliving.blogspot.com/2012/09/my-claw-foot-tub-gets-frenchified.html

Can I use chalk paint on exterior things ? If yes, what do I seal it with ?

I would try this project. Did you sand the tub before you painted it?

Have a question about this project?
How did chalk paint hold up in the bathroom with the humidity and possibly water drops,etc? Wouldn’t it start to wash off?
