i HAVE PAINTED AN OLD CHINA CABINET WITH CHALK PAINT AND USED A GOOD BRUSH TO PAINT WITH. ENDED UP PAINTING CABINET AGAIN AND LET DRY THEN USED WAX BUT WHEN IT DRIED IT LOOKED LIKE MY GRANDSON PAINTED IT. WENT BACK OVER AGAIN BUT STILL LOOKS BAD. CAN I JUST GET SOME MORE GOOD PAINT AND GO OVER THIS WITH ANOTHER COLOR. HELP.........
I'm frustrated with chalk paint too. I've painted a bedroom set for my granddaughter. It looks awful. The white is coming through with a yellow look on some of the white painted area. I also see the brown wood look coming through after 3 coats of paint. I unfortunately waxed it just to see if I would like it better. I'm so disappointed and I don't have the time to sand every piece and start over with latex paint.
Unfortunately, chalk paint doesnt seal wood tannen or polyurethane either. First, clean wood, lightly sand, seal w/Zinser primer(it may take a couple coats) then paint w/chalk paint, seal w/either wax or poly. These chalk paint companies want u to think that just painting seals the wood grains,tannen or old varnishes fm bleeding thru the paint, not my experience.Take it fm someone who learned the hard way, do it the right way & the paint will look great for a long time. Btw...latex over chalk paint failed for me & I am in the process of stripping a project so passing this info along, learning about chalk paint.
Maybe that was the problem. I used Lowe's brand. Thank you
I want to paint my kitchen cabinets white. I was planning to use Annie Sloan Chalk Paint, but have been reading about different problems others have had with chalk paint in general. I do not want to sand all of my kitchen cabinets! I was wondering if I could use chalk paint as a primer (so I don't have to sand) and then use a Benjamin Moore paint over the chalk paint. Do you think that would work?
I would just use a primer under the Benjamin Moore paint. Using chalk paint under it serves no real purpose. Chalk paint isn't a primer. If your cabinets have a gloss to them I would sand down the gloss but you don't need to remove all the poly. Know that once you paint it takes about 25 days for the paint to cure (different from drying) so you have to be very careful not to damage your paint finish.
