My boyfriend did his mom's oak vanity with chalk paint from Loews. It turned out fantastic. Very minimal prep. Just a good cleaning I think. I think it is supposed to adhere to just about anything.
You can finish it with their wax finish or get a water based poly. I like the Varathane brand water based poly from menards.
I've been wanting to try milk paint for some time. Milk and chalk are similar in properties. The milk I purchased is actually "milk like" from General Finishes (sold at specialty lumber or actual paint stores or Amazon ).
I'll see if I can rustle up a pic of the vanity I made with the milk paint on.
Here is the boyfriend's mom's vanity. They picked up one of those "cultured marble" tops. She's 3 hours away otherwise we could have gotten her a top here:
