And i shared my tips and tricks with you all in the ever popular post the beginner s guide to annie sloan chalk paint.
Chalk paint distressed table top.
Only use one coat of paint.
Finally apply a coat of clear chalk paint wax this will seal and protect this piece.
This is a fun diy project i completed last fall season and i wanted to put together a full post with tips on how to use chalk paint and my diy chalk paint table experience in the hopes that it would help others.
Here s a tip that will give you a great distressed finish every time when using chalk paint.
I used a very rough grit sandpaper 80 with a medium to light touch and went to work sanding off the white chalk paint layer on the parts of the table i thought would wear naturally with age like the corners of the legs and top.
Using annie sloan sanding pads annie removed the top coat of paint to reveal the colour beneath.
For today s post i m excited to finally share our rustoleum chalk paint dining table makeover and chalk paint table tutorial.
After that layer was dry it was the fun part distressing the table.
