What kind of clear protective coat with flat paint?
I have a china cabinet that was pretty darn ugly and I chose to repaint it. I wanted a less than perfect, vintage look. Initially I planned to go with Annie Sloan's chalk paint but it is too pricey. I decided to take a chance and go with an off white flat paint to get a similar look. After 2 coats it looks pretty good, but because it's not a gloss I want to put a protective coat on it. What should I use? I'm new to painting furniture so I'm not sure. I figure if it fails on me I can sand and apply a glossier paint. Just thought I'd try flat paint first. TIA!
