A few weekends ago I browsed through some of my favorite antique shops in downtown Orange and loved this little exhibit about chalk paint. Turns out my initial post on the use of this paint was wrong. With "chalk" in the name I jumped to the conclusion that this was the same thing as "chalk board" paint...well after using it, I learned that it did not provide the chalkboard effect. Annie Sloans "chalk" paint is the best for painting furniture of any material - wood, metal, etc. The best part about it is that there is no need to sand, strip, and prime. All you have to do is paint!
Chalk paint offers a broad spectrum of painting styles. Painting naturally will give a French patina finish or watering it down will allow it to be used as a white wash and will show the wood grain in your flooring or furniture piece.
