We painted our cabinets using Annie Sloane chalk paint about 6 months ago. It is always nice to learn from others, which is why I am posting this review.

After having used the cabinets heavily for 6 months, I am pleased to say they have held up well. The only places where wear and tear are visible are the spots I didn't wax well enough.

We used Chateau Grey and finished with the Annie Sloane clear wax. The nice thing about using Chalk paint is the fact you don't have to prime first.

We have refinished cabinets using primer and then paint in the past and now have used Annie Sloane chalk paint also. After having done both, I can't say I lean one way or the other more. I think it would depend on the color you would want!
