How to paint over a marble counter with chalk paint.
Don't confuse chalk paint with chalkboard paint, which creates a surface that mimics a chalkboard and allows you to write on it with chalk and remove your notes with an eraser.
If you want, apply a soft wax to the marble.The wax will make the surface more resistant to damage.It could deepen the color.
Painting over marble can be challenging, but only if you do it the old-fashioned way, with hours of preliminary sanding.You can cover marble with one or two coats of Chalk Paint.Chalk Paint was invented by painter Annie Sloan, who is widely credited with transforming the art of decorative painting with the publication of her book "Annie Sloan's Complete Book of Decorative Paint Finishes."
Before applying chalk paint to the marble, conduct a trial run.It should be placed on the marble itself.If this option isn't practical, you can use chalk paint on a poster board to get used to its texture.It's thicker than other paints, which makes it easier to cover the marble.
There is a drop cloth or old blanket around the marble painting project.You can protect your marble surface with painter's tape.
If the marble is glossy, you can sand it.If your marble is dull and worn, it probably won't need to be painted.
