I hate to be a downer, but Chalk paint was never durable, stains easily, and to be perfectly honest scratches like there is no tomorrow.
However, You do NOT need to sand the entire piece of furniture when you use Chalk Paint. Clean, clean, clean. Even though the furniture may look clean, 9 times out of 10 it is not. Dirt, grime and oily residue need to be cleaned away to insure that your chalk paint will have great adhesion
I would usee a satin or semigloss finish in either a latex or an oil-based paint. Never leave primer unpainted. If you choose a latex paint, a latex primer is an excellent choice for most uses. It goes on easily and blocks most stains, but it doesn't have the odor of an oil-based primer.
