Good luck with your project!
Lightly sand the table so the paint sticks then paint
Hi there, using chalk paint is pretty easy. I use Annie Sloan but you can use any kind you want. Make sure your piece is cleaned really well. You can either put on one color and a color over it once it is dry and then sand lightly to let some of the bottom color come through. You can also put 2 coats on if you are not distressing it. Chalk paint lacks a sealer that most paint has and, therefore, requires a wax to seal the color and keep water or other debris from getting in the finish. The last thing is to have fun with it. Hope your project turns out wonderful.
