Where can I get those?

Yes! I have actually made “chalkboards” out of chalk style paint. Here is a post showing one…https://www.artsychicksrule.com/chalkboard-coffee-bar-menu-board/ and another one… https://www.artsychicksrule.com/chalk-painted-chalkboard-desk/

is it possible to draw on the paint with lets say chalk or liquid chalk pens and erase it again? I‘m really curious about this.

kind regards to you

Hi Julie! So happy to have you here! :) Well, it’s not really so much that it doesn’t need to be, it’s that Chalk Paint doesn’t necessarily have to be sealed outdoors. Sealing it with wax is a no because the sun will heat that up and it won’t last. Sealing it with poly and it could peel, etc. (but if you use exterior poly you should have better luck with that) Chalk Paint will “patina” over time out in the elements. It’s really more of a personal choice of which way you want to go. :)

Hi Julie! You could use chalk paint “like” a stain. Just water it down a bit. This way, the paint won’t cover the wood grain, just change the tone of the wood. You could also use stain. I’ve done it both ways. :) xo

I’m a new subscriber, new to chalk paint and new to refinishing furniture. Quick question: why does a piece painted with chalk paint intended for outdoor use not need to be sealed? I would think it would need to be sealed even more. –Julie

Hi Nancy! I am going to refinish dated bar stools made of blonde wood with gold metal foot bars at the bottom. I’m thinking of changing the wood to gray or navy blue and the gold to matte silver. Would you recommend chalk paint or stain to achieve a modern gray coastal look for a beach house??? –Julie

Hi Christina! You shouldn’t really have to primer it first if you’ve sanded all the way down. If it is a reddish type of wood, then yes, I would prime because you can get some bleed through with some of those older pieces of reddish toned/stained/types of wood. The Rustoleum Chalked paint will work great on something like this. Shine or no shine is a personal preference. I personally like a low luster finish…satin or matte. Good luck and have fun with it! xo

I am first time chalk paint user. Your expertise would be greatly appreciated. I have an old/antique wood youth hutch (on wheels to give you an idea of age). I ended up having to strip layers of paint (cracked everywhere!) and then sand it in order to repurpose it. I really am looking to get that antique look without breaking my bank. Not to mention I have 4 busy boys and don’t have a lot of time. What would you suggest? Do I need to do a primer first? Would the Rustoleum brand work on this? Shine or no shine for a top coat? Sorry for all of the questions. Thanks!
