FAQ's

Absolutely. Black chalkboard paint can be applied to metal as long as the surface is adequately prepared. Start with a thorough cleaning to eliminate grease, rust, or dirt. Lightly sand to enhance adhesion. Then, apply one to two coats of a suitable water-based primer like our White Primer before finishing with two coats of black chalkboard paint. Allow full curing for the greatest outcomes.

Once the black chalkboard wall has been painted, allow it to cure for 24 hours. To prepare it for regular use, condition the surface by completely covering it with chalk and then wiping it clean with a dry cloth. This preparation ensures smoother writing and easier erasing.

For a polished finish, utilise a foam, mohair, or lint-free roller, or spray the paint on. To achieve the best application of chalkboard paint, follow these guidelines: prime bare or untreated surfaces; fill and sand any flaws; re-prime if necessary; then apply two even coats of blackboard chalkboard paint, allowing the first coat to dry thoroughly before the second. Lastly, cure for 24 hours and condition the surface with chalk.

Priming is crucial for bare or uncoated surfaces to ensure lasting adhesion and a smooth finish. Employ a high-quality water-based primer like our White Primer. For areas that have been previously painted or primed, black chalkboard paint can be directly applied without additional priming.

This adaptable matt black chalkboard paint sticks to plaster, drywall, metal, wood, plastic, and concrete when properly primed. A water-based primer is recommended for optimal durability and finishing. It is intended for indoor use only.

To keep your black chalkboard in good condition, regularly wipe it down with a Microfiber Cloth or a standard eraser. For a more thorough cleaning, use a damp cloth after the surface has cured for a minimum of seven days. Also, always ensure you condition new surfaces with chalk before initial use to extend their lifespan.

Our black chalkboard paint works best with traditional chalk sticks and liquid chalk markers. It is recommended to avoid using oil-based or permanent markers, as they can damage the surface.

For porous surfaces such as plaster or timber, it’s advisable to apply a water-based primer like our White Primer to seal the surface. Smooth or non-porous materials, including metal, should be cleaned and primed thoroughly to ensure proper adhesion.

While it can be applied to cardboard, the paint performs optimally on solid, smooth surfaces. For textured walls, it’s suggested to sand the area to create a more uniform base and enhance the final appearance.

For a professional finish, utilise a high-quality foam roller or spray system on a properly prepared surface. Apply two even coats, ensuring that each layer is dehydrated before applying the next.

Gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth using only water to eliminate chalk residue. Avoid using harsh or abrasive cleaners, and let the surface air dry after cleaning.
