I was thinking of doing this in one of my rooms as the paint job is terrible. I was like looking for <a href="http://affordablepaintersottawa.ca/" rel="nofollow">Painters in Ottawa</a> to do the job. Still i don't know eventually if how would it cost me or save more money than to do it my self.<br /><br />ThanksAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12814113873444717357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191142103051008447.post-41452860090872182052012-08-04T22:22:42.291-07:002012-08-04T22:22:42.291-07:00This by far has been the best info on chalk paint!...This by far has been the best info on chalk paint! I am an ola latex girl. I believe I just more personal with my piece. But in a situation where you can turn pieces over fast, CeCe seems to be the answer. I will seek out and try. I am in SoCal area. Any ideea where I can find. Not enough info out there. Thanks Keep Painting!

However, I know I will still use ASCP (and latex) when I need a color that CeCe's doesn't quite offer. It is still going to be a project by project decision for me.<br />P.S.

I really did not like it at all. You say ASCP is too thick, maybe I just got used to it, but Ce Ce is too thin! <br /><br />Although they say their are no VOC's, that is not actually 100% true, I looked up the ingredients. It seems they can say that becuase they are very low. <br /><br />Im sticking with ASCP, I think its the real deal!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191142103051008447.post-67672683435868093192012-05-21T19:53:38.632-07:002012-05-21T19:53:38.632-07:00Love your great projects!!

So far, it's wonderful. <br /><br />I also agree that not sanding and prepping a piece takes some of the love and accomplishment out of your finished piece. My dad raised me to do something right the first time ;)<br /><br />Some day soon I hope to use both Annie Sloan and CeeCee Caldwell's paints.Kristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03353335708039366470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191142103051008447.post-43286074590838085632012-05-04T10:19:31.974-07:002012-05-04T10:19:31.974-07:00I completely agree Amy.

I think the prevailing thought that everyone should go away with is this: each artist has a preference as to what medium is used based on their vision of the end product. I love what CeCe said {it'll be wroth your while to scroll up & read}. I believe furniture painting is truly an art form & we all need to respect others' artistic expressions/opinions/visions. By the way, I am predominantly a latexer & have many friends who chalk it up.

I did 3 coats of paint because it was a very dark wood and I wanted solid coverage. The green side table was done using CeCe's and the reason it looks streaky is because I was going for a completely different look and followed with a dark stain all over (which is the streakiness you see). The coverage of the paint was very good.

I think there is a uniqueness to each of the different types of paints and it will all come down to personal preference.
