Do not be fooled by the price - this stuff is great! As advised, I sanded the area of the wall I where I was going to apply the paint beforehand to make the surface as even as possible. I didn't go crazy - just manually rubbed one coarse and one less coarse 1/2 sheets of sand paper across the wall just made sure it was smooth enough to run my hand along without feeling any obvious
roughness. I was a bit concerned that the first coat still left some visible signs of the white wall but this was no longer the case after the 2nd coat. Since the area I was painting wasn't very large (54" x 22") I went ahead and applied 4 coats total with probably enough for a 5th that I opted not to do because it seemed unnecessary. As mentioned in one review - it does have a very slight glossiness to it (which I wanted) so please be advised if you are looking for something that has a slate/matte finish this may not the product for you.
After applying the 4 coats I let it "cure" for just about 24 hours and did a test without conditioning it (rubbing chalk over the entire area) just to see how well it worked without it as I was feeling kinda lazy. Lol. And much to my delight it exceeded all of my expectations - could it be this good for 7 bucks!? Both writing and erasing with a dry cloth was a TOTAL PINCH! Yay - I couldn't be happier. I love it when this happens! Best of luck!
Since my board is a little less than 4 square feet per side, this jar was more than sufficient to cover the one side intended for use with chalk. I can still use the other side of the board as a support for my drawing paper. Experimentation this morning - which is actually before the 24 hours curing time for the paint is done - has shown that I will be able to draw/write and erase as necessary. Small amounts of the paint did wipe off as I wiped off the border lines that I had drawn; maybe that will change after the paint has fully cured. And it will have plenty of time to cure, as I plan to paint some decorative borders around the edges of the board with other acrylic paint, and those two colors will also need time to cure before I use the board much.
So... the quality of the paint is acceptable on a porous surface such as masonite or other wood products. The texture is nothing like a good slate chalkboard - so don't expect that level of quality. For the cost and labor involved, this paint is a very nice substitute if you want a chalk board and cannot afford a decent-sized slate board... however, I would not expect the paint to last a lifetime as I would expect of a good slate.
Update: 20 hours after the third coat, I decided that yet another coat of paint on my new chalkboard was a good idea. After 4 coats of paint, I am much more pleased with the writing surface. 24 hours after the 4th coat, I conditioned my new chalk board with a layer of chalk over the entire surface as instructed on the label. After wiping off the chalk, it very much resembles the appearance of a slate chalkboard, if not the texture. This will be quite suitable for my purposes.
Made a nice chalkboard effect on some canvases that I use and wash pretty regularly. The paint has held up great
That little jar can paint A LOT
