Although it's less expensive than Annie Sloan and other commercial chalk paints, homemade chalk paint has its disadvantages. As you can see in my pictures below, it leaves white specs on the piece, even after sanding to a smooth finish. Those specs come from the Plaster of Paris that I use to convert latex paint to chalk paint. Sometimes I love that texture... other times I don't. Although it's super convenient to grab any can of latex paint from my supply and convert it, I have to say that Annie Sloan and other commercial chalk are better.
Enjoyed the project?
