]]> Comment on Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Color Comparisons by Mimi http://altard.com/altard/annie-sloan-chalk-paint-color-comparisons/#comment-2591 Mimi Thu, 17 May 2012 00:33:45 +0000 http://altard.com/?p=1318#comment-2591 Wow - I just stumbled upon this post on pinterest and what a great discussion as well as lots of information here! I have tried ASCP and like it - but, it seems to work better for me on small projects. (I tried painting a DR table for my son's new house in Graphite and it was okay until I tried the dark wax.) It's a nice paint with lovely colors but the price is a little tough for most to justify. I actually tested 4 options - using calcium carbonate, plaster of paris, unsanded grout (like for chalkboards) and baking soda (that a friend tried) using my favorite Benjamin Moore paint in Wyeth Blue The smoothest finishes were in the order I have listed. The Calcium Carbonate was the best followed by Plaster of Paris. By no means am I implying these replace ASCP - just saying they are an alternative for many of us that can't afford it. Quite frankly, I love a good paint and think it is fun to experiment! My mother always loved milk paint and I want to try that next :) Wow – I just stumbled upon this post on pinterest and what a great discussion as well as lots of information here!

The under coat is Oakwood Brown and the top coats are Bridal Veil. I am trying to make the pieces as white as I can. I want to use the Ralph Lauren glaze but am afraid the tea stain might be too dark or yellow. Any suggestions? Mandie,
