Primer to use with laminates

Shabby Paints on Jul 08, 2013If you use a Chalked based paint like Shabby Paints you won't need a primer. You will need two coats and that's it :) I paint them all the time..I find them a lot at estate sales :)Helpful Reply

Junkgypsee on Jul 08, 2013I tried chalk paint on glass and it eventually marred, so now I use a primer on any slick surface. You can use eco-friendly ones, and there are several now..but I'm cheap, so I just use Mod Podge!! xoxoHelpful Reply

Junkgypsee on Jul 08, 2013I just happened upon it out of desperation. I do a lot of upcycling...and work with glass quite a bit. I wasn't seeing the durability I wanted so I just tried it. I lightly sanded it after each coat to take the ridges out and it worked! I have used and made my own chalk paints for quite awhile and always seal them, but a nice bump or slide seemed to always mar it so I had to try something else. Mod Podge? Who knew? Yes, I see the painted Mason jars quite a bit and I have wondered how they kept them from marring. Maybe it's the type of glass? I've never tried Mason jars..just slick window glass and mirrors...I always seal with 2 coats of either Ce Ce's or Annie's.Helpful Reply

Shabby Paints on Jul 08, 2013We have a great resin in our paint. Why do you have to sand in between the paint..is their paint chunky or gritty? That isn't normal. I'm going to paint a mirror and put it through the test :) Easily holds to rusted metal :) I'll let you know how the mirror goes..we really strive to be the paint for everyone and everything. :)Helpful Reply
