It did fine. I did no prep work before I painted. Since the cans are almost $40 per can I've tried to stretch the paint as far as possible so there is only a thin layer on there. I gave it a lite...and I mean lite sanding after it dried. Since it was such a thin layer you can see some of the wood under but it sort of gives it a antique look. I also added wax (not the A.S. wax) to protect it.
Next time I will be making my own chalk paint for half the cost.
I just wanted to make a note that these night stands are VERY big, actually to the point of looking odd next to the bed I made. I know I could have looked at the dems before hand but never imagined they were this big. I still love them, I just wish they were a bit smaller.
I will be posting the bed I made and the night stands will be in the pic as well so you can see and let me know your thoughts.

chalk paint
Looks great! How did the A.S. paint do on unfinished wood? Did you prime before hand?
