Lots of chalk paint groups you can join on FB to learn and see what it's like to use this paint. this is from FB group Chalk & Milk Paint Projects.

If you join the groups you will learn about various paints, where to find them, and how to use them. Fabulous resource!

Easy to use! Sometimes you don't even need to prime.

And you can make your own.

I'm 'bumping' this to the top for the folks in Viewpoints.

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).

I just did my first piece of furniture. Did not prime wood. I also distressed my piece. First I used an old white, then went over with a green and then sanded and distressed and then waxed. The piece turned out beautiful. I did learn though that there are easier ways to distress than the way I did it. I love the chalk pain.
