    No they are not talking about chalkboard paint Marie. It's a furniture paint that is suppose to work without the normal prep work one usually does before painting pre-finished wood furniture. It's expensive compared to latex paint as are the waxes for protecting it and the brushes for applying it. Those that have used it, I haven't and don't care to, love it. I'm don't particularly like distressed furniture for the most part. http://www.hometalk.com/search/posts?filter=chalk+paint There's also DIY chalk paint. http://www.hometalk.com/diy/paint/diy-chalk-paint-vs-annie-sloan-chalk-paint-457902

    Becky is right. It is very expensive......around$38 a quart. Two of the popular brands is Anne Sloan paint and the other is CeCe Caldwell paint. However, you can make your own homemade version which bloggers say they like almost as well. I am getting ready to paint a pie safe using the homemade version. Post if you want the recipe or you can do a search for homemade chalk paint for furniture and it will bring up several versions of the recipe.
