3.0 out of 5 stars Good but... June 9, 2010
By D.C.E
Color Name:Black
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works as intended, be sure to sand October 27, 2008
Color Name:Black|Amazon Verified Purchase
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Stuff October 13, 2010
Color Name:Black|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have never actually used this stuff for its intended chalkboard purpose. But I've used it many times to coat table and counter tops, and it is fantastic. I usually start with MDF as the base material and apply a coat of primer. On raw MDF it's best by far to use oil-base primer. Then two coats of the Chalk Board paint applied with a roller (smooth surface nap), about 12-24 hours apart. The resulting surface is almost indistinguishable from real slate. It seems to be extremely durable, and although it has a little roughness, it is still quite easy to wipe clean. I have also used the Chalk Board paint to rejuvenate an ancient store display counter that had gotten very banged up over the years. I didn't even attempt to remove all the dents and imperfections - the Chalk Board paint made them unnoticeable and produced a very rich looking surface on which to display wood and pottery items. When applying it's very important to stir well and to keep stirring periodically. Also, the surface will look awful as it dries, but have faith - you will have an attractive surface when it dries. Also, I'm probably not allowed to mention the alternate brand name of chalk board paint (there's at least one commonly found), but I've tried the most common alternate and it is NOT nearly as good as the Rustoleum. In fact, I'm writing this review because I was not able to find Rustoleum in black locally the last time I needed it and went to the trouble of ordering from Amazon and waiting the couple of days to get the real stuff.

5.0 out of 5 stars Has lasted us 3 years! April 4, 2011
Color Name:Black
I purchased the chalk board paint when we first moved into our new home three years ago. I used it on a large piece of wood (former table top) that I sanded down. I wanted an area that would be large enough for my two girls, then 2 and 6. I primed the wood with the magnetic paint first then applied the chalk board paint. My husband was very skeptical, he said it would never work and it was a waste of money....3 years later my girls are still enjoying the huge chalk board! It is an awesome idea for a play room or kids room. For the cost of a couple of jars of paint and some time, I repurposed a table that we were going to throw away. I am exceedingly pleased with the product and how well it has stood the test of both time and children and it is used often. From keeping score on the Wii to playing school....we love it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Rustoleum specialty chalkboard paint- Black July 23, 2007
By D. Wolf
Color Name:Black
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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Works great. Use more coats and 600 grit sandpaper April 14, 2010
By Mike
Color Name:Black
I applied this after a few coats of the magnetic primer. I put on about 4 coats. The finish is rough and would be a pain to use chalk on, but the trick is to use 600 grit sandpaper afterwards (hence the extra coats). The sandpaper will smooth it out and make it easier to write and magnets will stick a bit better (if you used the primer). Not smooth as the chalkboard from school, but usable.

Color Name:Black
We turned one wall in our kitchen into a magnetic chalkboard for the kids. We had read previous reviews about the magnetic primer not working that great so we did 5 layers instead of 3. Also, be sure to have it shaken at the store instead of having to stir it by hand. Then we followed up with 2 layers of the chalkboard paint. We followed their application tip, waited 3 days then covered the entire board with chalk and erased. It works great. We have all our travel magnets decorating the top of the board and the kids have play magnets on the bottom. It writes well and erases well. We have been very pleased with the finished product.
