Oh Oh what you can paint with chalk paint

Everything...
The colors,
 the texture,
the coverage,
the patina with little work!!!
This is the "Adow" blue...so perfect.
It is like a warm Tiffany blue!
Colors:Why not a shell??? 
Aubusson Blue, Duck Egg Blue and Old White

WonderFaux Studio does a 1:1:1 ratio
 with these colors
which just appens to be the

Do not forget this...

This paint sticks beautifully and changes these lamps from ordinary (or plain yucky as the base colors ranged from horrid gold to metal blahhhh) to lovely.
The colors are so lush.
