FAQ's
General Product Questions
What surface can I apply black chalkboard paint on?
Black chalkboard Paint is suitable for use on plaster, wallboard, wood, metal, plastic and concrete. It is important to use a White Primer or any water-based primer to prime the surface before application. For indoor use only.
Can you use black chalkboard paint on furniture?
Yes, black chalkboard paint can be applied to furniture, as well as walls, desks, partitions, and other smooth, non-porous surfaces.
Application & Usage
What should I do once I’ve painted my chalkboard?
Once applied to your wall allow it to fully dry for 24 hours and then condition your blackboard surface by rubbing a piece of chalk all over the surfaces and wiping off with a dry cloth or duster.
How many coats of black chalkboard paint do you need?

Surface Prep & Priming
Can you put black chalkboard paint on metal?
Yes, black chalkboard paint can stick to metal surfaces. However, there are a few factors to ensure proper adhesion and durability. Clean and lightly sand the surface, apply one or two coats of White Primer, then finish with two coats of black chalkboard paint. Allow it to dry before use fully.
Do you need to prime before black chalkboard paint?
We recommend applying Smarter Surfaces black chalkboard paint onto a previously primed surface or painted surface. If applying onto an uncoated surface, we recommend applying two coats of a water-based primer such as White Primer to prepare the surface.
Cleaning & Maintenance
How to clean a black chalkboard wall?
You can use standard blackboard dusters to clean your surface on a regular basis. Like all blackboards, regular use will cause a build up of chalk dust on your wall. To remove excess dust, you can clean your Blackboard Surface with water on a damp cloth.
Functionality & Performance

Your blackboard surface can be used like a normal blackboard. You can use standard chalk and chalkboard markers to write on your surface. Chalkboard markers are wet-erase and can be cleaned off by using a damp cloth.
How to make black chalkboard wall paint magnetic?
Apply magnetic paint beneath the black chalkboard wall paint. Smarter Surfaces offers three magnetic products. Choose the one that matches the magnetic strength needed for your project.
