Hi guys! I want to know what questions you all have about painting, mixing and using homemade chalk paint, distressing, waxing.....etc. Leave your question in the comment section or on my Facebook page and I will use them in a blog post.
In the past I have received a lot of questions about my chalk paint and a few other great questions. I want to make sure that I don't miss any of them so ask away!!
Hi Helen,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the opportunity!
I have a dark dining room set that I want to paint white for my beach cottagy house.
I've never painted anything before.
Do you recommend Annie Sloan? I imagine I would need quite a bit.
I want something easy, and I'm afraid of spray paint:)
Thanks!
I have problems with waxing. I have used BriWax (original & clear) & MinWax Finishing Paste Wax. It seems to remove the paint. I can't find what is referred to as "dark" wax. What is it? HELP!!

ReplyDeleteDo you know how difficult it would be to remove waxed chalk paint if someone wanted to return to the natural wood later? Also, is a waxed surface impervious to water? I take care of a lady with Alzheimer's and both she and another lady who stays with her when I leave for a few hours tend to set things on the furniture that are sometimes wet. Can you use polyurethane over chalk paint? If you do wax, how good is Johnson's paste wax? How good is the homemade chalk paint? I've never made it but think I'd like to try it and can't afford the ASCP. Thanks.

I would love for you to give me information about painting, mixing and using homemade chalk paint, distressing, waxing.....etc. Can you please give me detailed information on all off the questions. I have never painted ANYTHING in my life and I want to start painting furniture like you do but I am very nervous about not doing it the right way so if you can give me the information I would REALLY appricate it. I had to stop working due to medical problems and I would like to paint furniture and sell it to try to make some kind of income. I am not looking to open a business just sell some pieces on maybe Craigs list or Bargain news. So anything info you can give me would really help. I love your work and you have inspired me. Thank you.

Hi, I have a question. I want to paint my kitchen cabinets with your chalk paint formula. Do you think it is durable enough for this? If so, what wax or topcoat would you suggest. Thank you so much for your help. Linda
ReplyDeleteI have painted a few pieces of furniture for myself. Others have asked me to paint something for them, but I don't know how much to charge. Do you have any advise? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI too would like to know if poly/varnish etc. can be applied over wax. I would also like to know if you approach a piece of furniture differently in color choices or experimenting if you think you will keep it for yourself?

Hi!
ReplyDeleteI have a question about spray painting. I like to use spray paint for small items such as mirror frames. The problem is that sometimes the paint will wrinkle up during the second coat. The funny thing is, it won't always happen. Like I will be spraying something and the paint will wrinkle, and then I will pick up the next item (same environment, same paint can, same everything) and it won't wrinkle! What is up with that?
How can I make spray painting easier and more professional looking?
My question is...what do you do to the inside of the drawers? Do you paint them as well?
ReplyDeletehello,
ReplyDeleteI want to know how do you remove the veneer on top of the dresser before repainting a dresser?
