ABOUT CHALKBOARD PAINT
Chalkboard Paint is specially formulated to provide a hard and durable surface for chalkboards, that does not leave scratch marks from the chalk. Chalkboard Paint, which is usually made from latex, is supplied in black and may also be supplied in green. Chalkboard paint can be used on purpose-made chalkboards. It can also be used, for example in a children's room, to convert almost any surface into chalkboard. Chalkboard paint can be applied to numerous materials including wood, tile, sheet-rock, glass, and metal.
