I used Annie Sloan white chalk paint and wax. Why does it look yellow?
It looks like either the wax turned it yellow, or maybe something bled through. How do I fix it? Thanks for your help!
No. Chalk paint is not made for exterior use. It will wash off. All chalk paint has to be top coated either with wax or even better aquathane or will wash off. Not very durable, best for chabby sheik look on accent furniture.
Chalk paint is not suitable for any outdoor projects. It does need to be sealed with either wax or polyurethane for any indoor project if you want it to last.
I agree with the other two, chalk paint isn't an exterior paint. If you're not sure what to use, talk to the paint department in your local hardware store.
