    I would not use chalk paint in a bathroom. You need to use a gloss paint due to the moisture and use they get. Go to a paint store and get advice. If you really want to do chalk paint, yes, you will have to seal it.

    Concern: I was going to do that to, but a coworker said she did and she now has water marks from water running down or sitting on the counter She did use a sealer she said. She said there are other products to use that are oil based. They seal better.

    Sal85902 is absolutely right! Just do a search on people who have regretted using chalk paint for kitchen and bathroom cabinets. Use the recommended paints for bathrooms.

    No, after a couple coats of chalkboard paint, let dry then scribble chalk all over and dry erase. That's it.
