Have you used chalk paint to transform a piece of furniture or home decor for your own home? Do you like using a paint with no prep work? Please drop any comments or questions down below, we love hearing from you. And thanks for watching!
I painted my bedroom set a few years back and now I want to repaint it. I used Annie Sloan chalk paint then used a stained wax. Can I paint over the wax? What kind of prep do I have to do before I can paint? Appreciate any suggestions, thanks!
At minimum you'll want to clean the surface with mild dish soap like dawn. And then you'll want to use a good bonding primer before applying a new coat of paint. You can also give the bedroom set a light scuff sanding then add primer.
The original finish was a little textured, but the black chalk paint did dry smooth to the touch. We did use a 220 grit sandpaper to lightly smooth the finish before the second coat of paint was applied.

No. the finish is not smooth, very noticeable and yes, it is because it was not sanded...furniture need prep

Why doesn’t the piece have a smooth finish? Is it because it wasn’t sanded before the first coat of paint?
