Love your table in the background

That was really useful - thank you!

I've had good results with light sanding followed by using Kilz Adhesion, and, like you said, LET IT DRY a few days! Great advice. For two Ikea pieces after prep, I used the Rust-Oleum Chalked Ultra Matte Charcoal Water-Based Acrylic Chalk Paint for my computer desk last year, and Annie Sloan Old White Stock Paint on a bookcase that came out absolutely stunning!!
Most say that you do not need to prime or sand using Chalk Paint, but going through the initial steps of sanding and using a primer will go a long way to solidifying that color on a repaint!

I will try Kilz next time! Thank you. I’m really glad you had a good experience with chalk paint! I painted a wood frame mirror and it chipped before I even hung the mirror 😂

We followed all the steps, but our cabinets have chipped in a few places. I think the only thing we have have done wrong is to not leave long enough for the second coat of primer.
It’s all installed in to the wall now so I really don’t want to pull them out. I might remove the doors and try re-priming and painting them as the doors have suffered most!
Thanks for this excellent video!

I know it’s really frustrating when paint chips. If it’s small spots you can try doing a little touch up paint. It won’t be too noticeable

Try to sand between priming or painting layers
