Product Details
Chalkboard paint is an acrylic-based paint designed to create an chalkboard surface on walls or other materials, allowing for writing and drawing with chalk. This paint is suitable for interior use and is perfect for transforming walls made of cement or lime-cement plaster, gypsum surfaces, and chip-cement boards into functional chalkboards. It can also be applied to wood, wood-like materials, and metal, provided these surfaces are properly primed. The painted surface functions exactly like a traditional chalkboard, enabling you to write and draw with chalk. Chalkboard paint is an excellent choice for a variety of spaces, including children's rooms, kitchens and conference rooms. It adds a practical and creative touch, making it easy to jot down notes, create drawings, write a shopping list, and use in many other practical ways.

3. Step-by-step application
The surface to be painted must be clean, stable, dry, and smooth. Prior to painting, the substrate should be sanded, dusted, degreased, and thoroughly dried. Cement substrates, plasterboards, and other surfaces that typically require priming should be treated with Primacol primer. Wood and metal surfaces should also be primed with an appropriate primer beforehand.
Thoroughly mix the paint before use, and stir occasionally during application. Apply with a roller suitable for acrylic paints, using the "wet-on-wet" technique to avoid tool marks. Apply two coats of paint, waiting about 3 hours between each coat (two coats are the minimum required to achieve the chalkboard effect, a third coat can be applied if you have enough paint).
The surface is ready for use after 3 days, by which time it will be fully cured and have achieved its final properties. The chalkboard surface can be easily cleaned with a damp cloth or sponge.
