Yikes.

So, question, yes, a question. How does one go about repainting, as in painting over chalkboard paint? I've heard horror stories about anti-graffiti paint and it's being unpaintable and wonder if chalkboard paint is the same way.

Is there any software out there that will filter out any blogs with the words "CHALKBOARD PAINT"?

normally I don't really like chalkboard walls, but for a children's book author/illustrator it would be insanely useful!

does anyone know if it comes in white and if it would support charcoal rather than chalk pleasantly? I'm not about to paint my walls, but I'm curious.

he is awesome. check out his books! i hate chalkboards but i'm not an artist. so for mo it's cool :)

thanks, KTG-- I usually skip over the chalkboard paint articles (in general, I share your sentiments) and was too sick/lazy to put much effort into looking it up.

and while chalk does come in black, I feel it leaves a rather different mark, particularly as I am fond of vine charcoal. as I lived with very large sheets of paper that would become my senior thesis tacked to the walls of my dorm room back in the day, I can attest that, for an artist, a wall is a very useful working surface. plus, I'd save a a lot (of trees and money) if I could doodle without paper, particularly the larger doodles that aid the creative process. in my dream studio (in my dream house/apartment) I would have a wall devoted to it, (painted or freestanding), kind of like this: http://www.davidbourguignon.net/writings/chalkboard-drawing.html
