FAQ's

Now apply one to two coats of a suitable water-based primer such as our Smart White Primer before finishing with two coats of black chalkboard paint. Allow full curing for obtaining the best results.

After application, let the black chalkboard wall cure for 48 hours. To prepare it for daily use, condition the surface by covering it entirely with chalk and then wiping clean with a dry cloth. This step ensures smoother writing and erasing.

To ensure the best way to apply chalkboard paint, follow these steps: prime bare or untreated surfaces; fill and sand any imperfections; re-prime if needed; then apply two even coats of blackboard chalkboard paint, allowing the first coat to dry completely before the second. Finally, cure for 48 hours and condition the surface with chalk.

Priming is essential on bare or uncoated surfaces to achieve lasting adhesion and an even finish. Use a quality water-based primer such as our Smart White Primer. For previously painted or primed areas, black chalkboard paint can be applied directly without additional priming.

While it can be used on cardboard, the paint is best suited to solid, smooth surfaces. For textured walls, sanding is recommended to create a more even base and improve the final finish.

For a professional result, use a high-quality foam roller or spray system on a properly prepared surface. Apply two even coats, ensuring each layer is completely dry before adding the next.

Wipe the surface gently with a soft, damp cloth using only water to remove chalk residue. Avoid harsh or abrasive cleaners, and allow the surface to air-dry after cleaning.

Keep the container sealed tightly in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Proper storage will help maintain the paint’s quality for future projects.

For optimal results, apply the paint in a well-ventilated area with temperatures between 15 to 25 °C and low humidity to ensure effective drying and curing.
