    Is it interior or exterior?

    if exterior an oil base paint -- in interior a semigloss latex -- color isn't the issue .. it's water safe paint for outdoors, and a washable latex for interior woodwork -- doors, door frames, window frames and mullions .

      Thank you for your response. I didn't get to finish the question though as I was attempting to fix a typo and it accidentally sent... It's an interior window SHELF. new building finish so will I have to sand it first to adhere the paint? Or use another product like a Mini-wax to seal it? What is best for durability from scuffs yet not make shiny. I like the natural looking finish. Thanks again

    • With Dixie Belle Chalk Mineral Paint there is no sanding required! You can just clean and start painting! If it's very slick then you can apply two coats of Slick Stick first. Dixie Belle offers a variety of top coats for you to choose from that have different finishes. If you'd like something not too glossy perhaps you can try our Clear Coat Satin or our Clear Coat Flat!
