If they were the old mahogany stuff, I'd go with shellac. If you're painting them a dark color, use the gray primer so you don't need as many coats of paint.

I used a coat of wax and then primer over that on some dark cherry furniture legs that I recently painted. No bleed through so I guess it worked.

LOL<br />What I do is a light sand first then prime them and let cure over night then proceed with your chalk paint.<br /><br />Deco Americana also sells a primer for this very purpose. It works like a charm for bleed through. <br />But at the end, try a spot under the table with your varnish or wax before you start on the top. Even sometime the bleed through can happen at this point when you use the sealer. You may have to skip that part, but being they will be used a lot~~ It would be best to seal.<br /><br />Have fun, looking forward to seeing the finish.<br />Happy painting!!<br />xo<br />Celestina Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10021633519525822335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4293397190628506592.post-29623583203368356912014-09-16T15:02:08.414-04:002014-09-16T15:02:08.414-04:00Must be my screen, but they are not orange, they l...Must be my screen, but they are not orange, they look like oak.

My bleed through problems have mainly come with a light cover over something with a red undertone like cherry or mahogany. <br /><br />I would go ahead and use a coat of kilz over it all first if you are worried about it, though. Better to be safe than sorry, right?<br /><br />(And isn't it nice that your husband has such confidence in you? I liked that part!)

Yes, I'd use Kilz or any other indoor primer, in whatever color goes best with the chalk paint color you'll be using, and preferably in spray form (just because it's easier). If you use primer I don't think you'll have any bleed through problems. Honestly, if you were going to use any paint other than chalk paint, I'd say not to even bother using a primer as long as you were willing to do multiple coats for the best coverage.<br />xo Kathleen Our Hopeful Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09545698852959318449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4293397190628506592.post-11885020552465996722014-09-16T11:15:24.620-04:002014-09-16T11:15:24.620-04:00ouch the dreaded ORANGE lol.
