How to Turn a Wall Into a Blackboard with Colorantic

My name is lamademoisell_ and I’m going to explain how to turn a wall into a blackboard with Colorantic… Another chalk wall! Really?! These are the exact words my spouse said. Basically, I am a huge fan of chalkboard walls. It’s practical, unique and you can write whatever you like on it to suit your particular mood. I have 3 under my belt: in the children’s playroom, at my bakery and now in my garage.

What are the Steps?

First, be sure to thoroughly clean your surface that is to be painted. To do this, use Colorantic cleaner and varnish removerr. If necessary, rub a little with Colorantic’s two-grain sanding block.

Then you can determine the measurements of your chalk wall with the green tape.

To start, take a Colorantic angled brush to mark the outline of your chalkboard. Once done, dip your roller in chalkboard paint and roll the velvet foam roller all over your surface. It should be noted that you will need to repeat this step a minimum of three times for best results. Please note that our chalkboard paint is more liquid than standard chalk paint.

Between each coat, allow a drying time of at least four hours.

Very important: Be sure to sand and clean dust with a dry cloth before applying the next coat.

Afterwards…

After 5 long days of waiting, take a white chalk (on its side) and pass it all over your wall so that your board is all white. Afterwards, clean the surface of your board with a damp cloth.

Finally, wait until everything is dry, about 1 hour.

To finish

And now, voila! My blackboard is finally ready to be used! The result is fabulous!

Turning a wall into a blackboard is easy to do, but it’s important to follow each step correctly. The results will be great!
