you might have to use Block Out first-check with your paint store
I don't think you can paint over it with the wax on it.
I would try to remove the wax first ... it provides a barrier ... sure are a LOT of people that use it and then aren't happy with the results ...

Annie Sloan wax removal...PLEASE HELP!
Not sure
if you are using Annie Sloan you can generally paint over the dark wax with Annie Sloan. I have done this several times. Also your clear wax will remove your dark wax. If you rub clear over the dark is will start to come off. :)
You can after you remove the wax. Use some mineral spirits and some steel wool to try to dissolve most of the wax, I would also recommend some sanding THEN apply paint of your choice!
