I went to Lowe's and picked out a color I liked and they mixed it up for me. They mixed it in an interior latex eggshell.

The clear coat is MIWAX Water-Based Polycrylic Protective Finish, Clear Satin.

Neither were very potent in their smells, so while I completed this project on our patio, I would think that they could be used inside as well.

Used sponge brushed for the black paint and an old makeup "powder" brush for the clear coat. On previous pieces I used the sponges for the clear coat as well and noticed it created bubbles. The makeup brush worked much better.
