chalk paint and chalkboard paint are two different things. Chalk paint will give you a textured finish and should be sealed, usually with a wax. Chalkboard paint is just that, it will give you a chalkboard finish. If you do a search above for which ever it is you want to do you will be able to see and read many posts. As far as chalk paint, I personally find it too expensive for the result that I have gotten with acrylic based paints. But you will get hundreds of opinions for it. I also use a not prep no prime paint so that to be does not count as to their advantage. Good Luck.

thx, so chalkboard paint is used if you want to make a chalkboard. You paint a piece of plywood, or an area of a wall, and it becomes a chalkboard.Do I understand you?
