Tips for a Perfect Chalkboard Finish
Properly Prepare the Surface
Remove any loose paint or rust, lightly sand glossy surfaces, rinse clean with soap/water and let surface fully dry.
Sanding surface before application allows for a smooth finish. Primer is recommended, especially for use on bare wood or metal. For best brush-on results, use a foam roller.
Condition Surface
After 3 days, rub the side of a piece of chalk over the entire surface to increase erasability and then erase clean.
Wait for 7 Days Before Wiping Down
In order to achieve the best chalkboard surface, wait 7 days after conditioning with chalk before cleaning with soap and water. Repeat conditioning step after wiping down.

- Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2025Color: BlackSize: 30 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Style: PaintVerified PurchaseI recently used Rust-Oleum 301450 Specialty Chalkboard Paint to transform a wall in my kitchen into a functional chalkboard, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. 
The application was straightforward; I used a foam roller to apply the paint, which went on smoothly without any streaks. The coverage was impressive, and I was able to coat approximately 95–120 square feet with the 30 oz can, as advertised. 
After allowing the paint to dry for about 30 minutes, I waited the recommended 24 hours before “conditioning” the surface by rubbing the side of a piece of chalk over the entire area and erasing it. This step is crucial for optimal performance, as it helps prevent permanent marks. 
The finished chalkboard surface is smooth, scratch-resistant, and erases cleanly with a damp cloth. It’s perfect for jotting down grocery lists, leaving notes, or letting the kids draw. 
One of the standout features is its versatility. This paint can be applied to various indoor surfaces, including wood, metal, concrete, masonry, drywall, plaster, glass, and unglazed ceramics, making it ideal for a range of DIY projects.  
Overall, Rust-Oleum 301450 Specialty Chalkboard Paint delivered on its promises. It’s an excellent choice for anyone looking to add a functional and creative touch to their space.

- Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2025Color: BlackSize: 30 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Style: PaintVerified PurchaseSomeone used marker and wrote on my chalk board. Used this product. Now I have a new clean chalk board
- Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2025Color: BlackSize: 30 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Style: PaintVerified PurchaseI am very pleased with the result of this product after applying 24 hours ago. We had a small chalkboard that has been used for quite some time. The marker-like chalk started to absorb and the magic eraser started taking off the original blackboard coating (my fault, as I used a vinegar spray). I fixed the original board with this paint. Since it had a small frame, i opted for a sponge brush for application. For the first coat, i went horizontally and then vertically, and did the same for the second coat. Even after the two thick coats, the magnetic attribute of the original board was in tact (for which I am pleased because we use magnets also). Excited to have the full cam for other projects.

- KynkajouReviewed in Canada on November 25, 2020
5.0 out of 5 stars Project turned out well.
Color: BlackSize: 30 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Style: PaintVerified PurchaseI used this product to paint a 4ft x 8ft sheet of hardboard using a smooth-finish foam roller. (Board had been primed first with regular white acrylic.) Although a small can of paint, it was enough for 3 full coats with plenty left over.
The paint has fumes, so make sure you have proper ventilation. For this reason I would suggest doing this project when the weather is nice enough to have the windows open. I used an N95 mask and had all the windows and doors open; probably overkill, but it worked well.
Chalk leaves dust, so you'll want a small ledge under the chalkboard. I used a piece of 2.5" strapping. It works well to catch the dust, as well as hold the chalk and eraser.
It was a simple project and very much worth the time spent. I use this chalkboard every day, and so far the surface has remained smooth and durable.
Edit: After one year of frequent use, the surface of this homemade chalkboard is still perfect. I would even say it gets better with time, especially if you allow the chalk dust to "season" the board, and only use a proper chalkboard eraser. No regrets!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Debes saber aplicarlo muy bien.
Quería hacer mi pared un pizarrón, desgraciadamente tiene que estar demasiado lisa (si es lisa, pero quizá no lo suficiente), fue un caos aplicar la pintura, el olor es desagradable y me quedó muy mal, además no se borra bien el gis ni si quiera con un trapo húmedo. Voy a comprar pizarrón blanco adherible para tapar la pared. Creo que esto es para gente que ya lo hubiera aplicado antes y sepa muy bien cómo funciona la pintura.
