Tools and Hardware Reviews of Rust-Oleum 206540 Chalkboard Brush-On, Black, 30-Ounce
Customer Review: Rustoleum specialty chalkboard paint- Black
Summary: 5 Stars
I was very pleased with this product. The price was a little high but was worth it considering the price of buying a new chalkboard. I took a half inch piece of plywood that was 4x8 and primed it with white primer twice. Then I painted it with the chalkboard paint twice and waited 3 days. It works great and the kids love it!Customer Review: Works as intended, be sure to sand
Summary: 4 Stars
This stuff works, just make sure your surface is smooth. For a wall that has been painted several times, perhaps by cheap labor before you owned the home, you should heavily sand the area of wall you intend to paint and maybe even coat it with plaster to get a new wall surface.
If it's rough you can't really write/draw anything small and it's really hard to erase.
Customer Review: Works just like it says
Summary: 4 Stars
I painted a cabinet with this paint, on top of magnetic primer and it looks great. Looks slightly bumpy, but that is most likely from the roller I used to put it on. Super fast and easy to use, though it seems like it might be a bit stubborn to erase. Overall, a good product and now I have a nice looking chalkboard wall.Customer Review: Good but...
Summary: 3 Stars
I like this product, and my son certainly gets a great deal of use out of his chalkboard and loves it. It's great in the kitchen for taking notes, however I do have one small criticism. You know when you buy a chalkboard and you can take the duster and effectively polish the chalkboard black with it? Well, you can't do that with this product. Certainly a duster will wipe the chalk off, but no matter how long you rub, the chalkdust will never be fully removed and the wall will have a patchy appearance, unless you take a cloth, dampen it slightly and then wipe the board down.
Consequently I wipe the board down at the end of each day, so it looks clean. Another thing, I was told that one coat of this product is all that is needed. However I applied one coat onto the prepainted drywall and following the recommended drying period, the eraseability was even less satisfactory than it is currently. I ended up applying 5 layers of coat to get the finish I was happy with.
It's a good product. but if I could get a custom chalkboard made, that would be better. Obviously that exercise and cost would far outweigh the ease of painting the wall with this stuff, so while this paint may be more convenient, be aware of the limitations of this product.
Customer Review: Fun, but erasability is marginal
Summary: 3 Stars
After painting the sides of an Ikea Kura bed (I sanded the surface first), I waited for 3 days, and then did what the instructions said (prepared it for chalk by rubbing over the whole surface with the side of the chalk, and erasing). Maybe my expectations were too high, but it's not like a regular chalkboard in terms of erasability. It takes a lot of rubbing before it's erased for good.
