Answer:
This product will apply well to any surface. However, the important point is that chalk will not work well on anything but a very, very smooth surface. Knock-down, stippled or even semi-smooth orange peel surfaces are not chalk friendly.
A foam brush gave me the best result. A high quality, high density roller I tried left an orange peel surface.
November 5, 2014
Answer:
It would be best to use it on as smooth as surface as possible so maybe if you sanded it down a little it would be okay. Also, you need to do at least 2 coats of primer on it first. We used it on plywood and a thick particle board. It is best to use a foam roller to apply it as a brush will leave brush marks. The roller allows it to go on very smoothly.
October 7, 2014
Answer:
Well, I used a brush which I clean easily after use with water and I do believe that the paint is easy to use with a roll and on different texture surface.

Answer:
This product is brush and roll painting. Very easy to do.I will say that cutting corners or along the baseboard you really need a steady hand.
August 12, 2014
Answer:
If you are painting on drywall that has already been painted, you are good to go. If not, a primer will be needed. If not sure of the surface, you can sand it down to a smooth finish.
It is rollable, preferred. Use a dense foam roller.
June 10, 2014
Answer:
I would say to roll it. That is how I did it on every thing I have use it on.
June 3, 2014
Answer:
Yes. We brushed and rolled it. Looks much better after the first coat.
March 25, 2014
Answer:
Yes. We used both a brush and roller. Brushed the edges first and rolled the center. And we did this on the back of a pantry cabnet door. We did not pre-sand, we just went over the finish. I wipe it down with a damp cloth to clean - let dry and write on it again. It has held up well.
January 14, 2014
Answer:
I think it works best on a smooth surface however simply because it's chalkboard and you are going to be writing on it. If the surface isn't smooth writing and/or drawing will be more difficult.
September 6, 2012
Answer:
Model # 206540, Rust-Oleum Chalkboard Paint, can be rolled or brushed on.
Use a good quality synthetic brush, 1/4" to 3/8" nap roller or a foam roller designed to give a smooth finish.
You will want to apply this product to a smooth surface for writing purposes.

August 24, 2012
Answer:
For best, most functional results, you want the surface to be as smooth as possible. You can apply it over anything, but to be able to write/draw on it? And erase it afterwards? Smooth is best.

Answer:
I did a 17" by 22" section with 4 coats and just barely used 1/8th of the can. Coats evenly with a roller for a nice writing surface.

Answer:
I had a 20 sq ft project, applied 3 coats and used about 1/2 a can. It goes a long way.
November 5, 2014
Answer:
According the can, it says 95 - 120 sq ft per coat. The toy box we just built has approximately 24 sq ft of chalkboard surface on it and I think I did about 5 or 6 coats on it and still have a little in the can. Hope that helps!

A lot !! We use like 1/4 of the paint can for a wall of 7x6 feet dimension.

Wondering if we put this on a piece of wood outside if it will hold up to the weather

Answer:
It's an interior product.
November 5, 2014
Answer:
I doubt it. It might for a short time. It if is not in direct contact with the weather, it might be okay, such as on a covered patio but I don't think it would work exposed to weather all the time.
October 7, 2014
Answer:
Could be. I do believe if this paint is use on a piece of wood outside should be resistant to weather with more than two coats; as much coats, more resistant. Is my opinion.
August 12, 2014
Answer:
This product can be used outside, but not suggested. There are chalkboard paints that can be used specifically for outside use. Your local home improvement stores should be able to provide the correct product for your needs.

Sorry but model # 206540, Rust-Oleum Chalkboard Paint, is for use on indoor items only.

Answer:
Will it be completely out in the open, or in a covered area?
You'll get better durability if the latter.

Answer:
Yes, Rust-Oleum Specialty Chalkboard Paint can be applied to wood surfaces. The use of Rust-Oleum Painter’s Touch® Primer provides superior adhesion and hiding and is especially recommended for bare wood and metal. You can apply Chalkboard Paint 2 hours after applying the primer. After priming bare wood, sand lightly to smooth out the surface.

I removed outdated wall paper, and replaced it with two coats of this chalkboard paint. The surface is durable and has stood up to repeated use and cleaning with a light misting of water.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by Rev Lots of Fun and easy
This was for the youth room at the church. Did a 6ft x 4ft section on drywall, and 1 can did it all. Painted the first coat and allowed to dry overnight, and put the second coat on the follow day. Take time to do if at all possible, did a 1x3 frame and stained for the frame around it. Kid's love it and don't forget to take the time to read directions carefully. Cleaned the wall with just warm water and rag, and allowed to dry overnight and used regular chalk. I also watched online video's and all on this prior. For the cost and the outcome it is fantastic. Again two coats needed for a 6 ft x 4 ft section, painters tape and take your time and keep it mixed.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by Msekwa Suitable for outdoor use?
I am hoping to use this to paint on a wooden little free library that will be outdoors. How would this hold up outdoors? Would I just have to repaint it every year or so? We live in Arizona so no snow, only a few freezes, a few short downpours, and a lot of sun.
Thank you

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by diybilly Great paint, fun for the kids, they love it
I asked the HD store associate about using this paint. After she said a family member used it, I decided to use it in our TV room with a laminate floor. I used one small can to do an area approximately 2 feet by 4 feet. It took two coats. It wipes clean easy, and the kids really enjoy it. My only concern is if and when I decide to paint over it, will I need to sand it down first, or will it be visible through.
