Accepted Answer

Great question, here is what the manufacturer's website says:

Achieving the perfect paint finish:
The secret to a perfect paint finish is in the prep!
Ensure that the surface that you’ll be painting is free of dust and dirt. We recommend cleaning with a damp cloth and then allowing it to fully dry before painting.
Multiple coats are recommended, especially if painting over a light surface. In this case, 3 coats may be required.

Getting started - how to apply our chalkboard paint:
Just like our interior chalk paint, you only need to follow a few simple steps.
First, stir the pot thoroughly to ensure all pigment is properly mixed.
Wipe your surface down to remove dust and dirt.
Then, using a paint brush or short hair roller, apply your first coat.
Wait 1 hour until the paint is touch dry for the second coat and another hour after that if a third coat is required.
Finally, leave for 3-4 hours for paint to fully dry and harden.

Decorating your chalkboard with chalk pens!:
Depending on how often you write and erase on your chalkboard surface, paint touch ups may be required due to natural wear and tear.
For longer lasting designs, we recommend using our Rainbow Chalk Markers (available in a rainbow of colours!)
They are longer lasting, more precise in application and more bold in appearance than regular chalk sticks. Perfect for social media-worthy cafe displays and learning activities in schools.
