Chalk Paint For Walls?

Can home made chalk paint be used on walls? If so, would I need to prime first?
Thanks for any helpful advice or tips.

Chalk paint is more expensive than paint and not sure why you would want to use on walls. Homemade chalk paint would give you a very flat finish. What are you trying to accomplish on the walls? That may make a difference on what you would use.

Hi Renee, I have a wall in a stairwell that I would like to texture or treat with a different finish. Chalk paint is something I have never used, but I'm looking into various options. Sounds like chalk paint is not one! Thanks for helping out with this. Val
