I've never used CC on furniture, but have heard wonderful things about it re:it's use for cabs. I use an acrylic for furniture and apply a topcoat of satin poly. Other people I know have used a latex paint w/brush, while other have success with a spray paint. You could also try the Annie Sloan chalk paints w/wax finsh. The choices are many for painting furniture. ;o)

I like to use spray paint on furniture, I like the finish better and it's so much less messy.
