You could always just paint some on and see how it covers and then decide. But I don't think you'll need a primer. Good luck!

I ask because I want to use this same color on my office kitchen cabinets which are currently oak but I'd like to end up with a result closer to what you have here. What do you think? Should I use a dark priming color first?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03654768459240740129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-17357836858296278552013-01-17T10:08:17.456-05:002013-01-17T10:08:17.456-05:00BTW...I have made my own chalk paint with plaster ...BTW...I have made my own chalk paint with plaster of paris before...it's really chalk BOARD paint and not at all like ASCP. If there's a formula for something like ASCP I haven't tried it. Also...thanks for the info about CeCe's wax...that's good to know. I almost bought some of her paint the other day but then decided against it. Now I just might go back and try some! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13857137605707358828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-30666444354012149722013-01-17T10:00:58.444-05:002013-01-17T10:00:58.444-05:00Looks awesome!

The color is so fresh and looks great in your entry.<br /><br />I painted my coffee table in Aubusson blue last year, but used dark wax over it to tone down the color (I have gray/blue walls in my living room, so the bright was a little too much). I could go nuts with this color!!

And you're right-- it goes well with the gallery above. <br /><br />I've had a quart of ASCP waiting on me since September but I'm being a big chicken about painting with it.

I have a love/hate relationship with chalk paint, love that there is no sanding and priming, but hate the wax, plus, I find that it marks way too easily. I recently used BM Regal line in Matte, it goes on like chalk paint, and drieS beautifully, without wax or any other protective coat, plus, it's way cheaper then chalk paint.Kristelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11287268704123898263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-56365846512901555752013-01-16T14:48:41.199-05:002013-01-16T14:48:41.199-05:00That is a gorgeous color!
