The chalkpaint will need to to be sanded to create teeth for the latex to grab onto. Paint away and happy decorating!
2 coats of primer, allow a lot of time to dry in between coats or you can purchase one of the specially formulated "extreme hide" paints on the market. (pricey)
I always use a clear coat after the chalkpaint and wax have set. I hate to sand and as Charline said if you are going to use latex paint you will need to sand.
Most projects require a good primer first. The paint chips off when it is not adhering to the undercoat. I would sand it off, clean well and use a paint deglosser, if necessary, and then proceed with the primer and the finish coat.
