I am planning to paint it white with some distressing. I am thinking of chalk paint or milk paint. There are so many brands out there too. I have several others pieces I plan to paint as well. What type of brushes? Do I need to wax it after?

Both milk paint and chalk paint will work and you won't have to do too much prep work either. You will need to wax afterwards to protect the paint and seal it. This video did a very honest review on the different brands o Milk paint which might help a little https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UB8Vs5k80l0.![]()

I say go with chalk paint and polycrylic protective finish. I had a similar one and I painted it a couple of years ago and it came out fine.![]()

It all depends on the finished look you are going for. I have a tutorial on the difference between chalk paint and milk paint and how to decide which one is better, if you'd like to check it out. http://beautyforasheshome.com/chalk-paint-vs-milk-paint-which-is-better/ -
