Personalize any space with a homemade chalkboard sign. Write and erase message, quotes and more.

  1. Shake your can of Rust-Oleum Chalkboard Spray Paint for 1 minute after mixing ball begins to rattle. Hold the can 10-12” from the surface and apply a light coat of paint in a steady, back-and-forth motion, slightly overlapping each stroke.
  2. Apply 2 or more light coats a few minutes apart. Allow the final coat of paint to dry for 24 hours.
  3. Once the Chalkboard Paint is fully dry, condition the surface by rubbing the side of a piece of chalk over entire area and then erase. This prepares the surface for writing. 
  4. Use chalk to write the message of your choice and display your new chalkboard sign.
