Can ceramic pieces be painted with Annie Sloan or other chalk paint successfully?
+2
I want to paint a cheap ceramic cache pot - love the shape but am tired of the neutral color. Can I use Annie Sloan or some other chalk paint on it? If I can, what tips/hints will I need to make sure it is successful? It will be just for display/maybe hold a potted plant inside and be up high on the top of a bookcase.

I would wax it really well after it is painted.

I"ve painted several ceramic pieces with Annie Sloan and CeCe Caldwells chalk paint...it works very well. No priming needed but on some pieces I had to use 3 coats to get the coverage I wanted. I then sealed them with wax and they've held up very well.

Awesome! Thank you, Carol! I plan to check out the store in this area that sells the paints....wish me luck! :) One more question though - how long do you have to wait between coats and how long is the wait before sealing with wax?
