Best uses for Blackboard Black
DIY chalkboards on wood, MDF, or primed metal. Kitchen menu boards, kids' room walls (rigid backer), café signage, craft-fair stall displays, restaurant table signage, wedding seating boards.
Also used for: market and roadside stall signs
One of our customers turned a board into a chalkboard sign for her roadside seedling stall. Three cans were enough for her sign, and now she can rewrite prices and plant names whenever stock changes. If your sign lives outside, finish it with a clear topcoat (see the FAQ below).
How to spray for a chalkboard
- Shake 60 seconds.
- Spray onto rigid wood/MDF/primed metal: never directly on drywall.
- 2 thin coats with 10 min between.
- Cure 24 hours before chalking.
- Critical step: rub chalk over entire surface, then wipe off. This "seasons" the board and prevents your first design from staining permanently.
Safety
- Outdoors or well-ventilated only. P2 respirator over 10 min.
- Drop sheets down.

FAQ
Do I have to "season" the chalkboard?
Yes, without seasoning, your first chalk drawing leaves a ghost stain. Rub chalk all over the surface then wipe with a damp cloth.
Will chalk markers work too?
Liquid chalk markers yes, but they're harder to wipe off than dry chalk. Test in a corner first.
How long does the coating last?
It depends on how much sun and weather the piece gets. For anything outdoors, finish with a Gloss Clear topcoat to help protect the colour.
Will it work on drywall?
Not recommended: chalkboards need a rigid backer. Spray onto a piece of plywood/MDF first, then mount that on the wall.
How many cans for a 1m² board?
About 2–3 cans of 100g for full two-coat coverage.
