Is there a difference between chalk paint and chalkboard paint?

Designs by BSB on Nov 27, 2012Yes Karen, chalk paint is the new trend in flat/matte finishes in endless colors ... chalk board paint is just that, it delivers a finish that you can write on with chalkHelpful Reply

Karen Hand on Nov 27, 2012Thank you BeckySue for your quick response to my inquiry. I was pretty sure that there was a difference in the paints, but wanted to check for sure. Apparently, I will need to inform the manager of my local Michael's store because he told me that there was no difference at all. And thank you BrightNest for the recipe to make my own paint. I appreciate both of your responses.Helpful Reply

Marg C on Nov 28, 2012I find it all too funny what managers don't know. I have the same problem all the time when asking a question. I do however find that manager and let them know the right answer as soon as I figure it out. And they make the big bucks pffft!Helpful Reply

Karen Hand on Nov 28, 2012Marg: I am simply amazed that a manager of a chain craft store didn't know the answer to this question. Perhaps, he should have asked his female assistant manager. :)Helpful Reply

Marg C on Nov 29, 2012I'm amazed too with it being basically the new 'craze'. Yes, he should have consulted with one of his 'female' managers ;) He probably doesn't know much at all when it comes to crafting etc.Helpful Reply
