I love chalkboard paint! They had a whole article on it in the Dallas Morning News a few months back.

I love chalkboard paint. The funny thing is, my kids aren't that into it - they are 2 & 4 and love drawing, so I don't really get it. But I still love it.

I bought Yoyamart's magnetic chalkboard paint and it works and looks great. Only two coats were needed.

I design crafts and having been working with a new chalkboard paint by Plaid that I adore.

Plaid has 10 new colors of chalkboard paint! The colors are beautiful and this is paint is water based! Easy Clean up.

Does anyone know what i would apply to an orange-peel textured wall prior to applying the chalkboard paint...in order to get a smooth finish for writing on. Thanks.

Hi,

Very nice pictures of magnetic chalkboard wall.

If you are looking for creative ways to update your home or business, magnetic chalkboard paint is a fun, inexpensive way to do so. I applied it to my kid's room and they love their magnetic chalkboard so much!

Cheers!
