When you add baking soda to regular latex paint, it makes the paint become chalky like chalk style paint. I personally haven't used baking powder, but I have used plaster of paris or calcium carbonate powder to make latex paint into chalk style paint. Both of those products worked very well!
Baking soda gives the paint a texture that helps it stick to surfaces.
