Chalk paint is most effective IMO when used for distressing or antiquing, but yes you can use chalk paint to paint your cabinets. Many people swear by it because you don't have to sand & prime everything. I'm a bit 'old school' and like my latex paint. I like that I don't have to wax it every once in a while. I like how easily it cleans up. I don't mind doing a coat of primer and a couple of coats of latex paint, to have that freedom of not waxing regularly, but that's just me. I hope you hear from the chalk paint fans so you have a balanced picture of the two types of paint.
Go for it but be sure to wax I have chalk painted almost everything and love it
I had my cabinets chalk painted 3 years ago and they look like the day they were finished. They clean up great! Annie Sloan chalk paint and wax. I painted my dining room set 2 years ago and that's holding up great too! Re: waxing, I've only touched up a couple of times.
You're welcome!
