Turning a mirror into a chalk board

Carolyn
by Carolyn
What do I need to put on a mirror before adding chalkboard paint? Do I use a primer? The first time I tried, the chalk paint just peeled off the mirror.

    Yes, use a couple coats of spray on primer and then use spray on chalkboard paint. Rustoleum has durable spray on chalkboard paint. Have fun!

    Thank you, Becky. I'll pick up the primer and paint today so I can complete the project over the weakend. Appreciate the assistance.

      I'd love to know how it turned out, and which products you used. I want to do the same thing, but I want to be sure it lasts (doesn't scratch with the chalk, or chip), as I will be "ruining" a vintage mirror, if it doesn't turn out. Thanks!
