Yes. Blackboard Paint w which has been rigorously tested, easy to use, easy to apply and completely safe. Non-toxic and is VOC and lead free.

Usually requires just one coat, but may require two depending on existing surface colour, texture and method of application. 

We recommend using the matching primer to prime the surface before painting the whiteboard paint. This will ensure that the paint has something to bond with and prevents the paint reacting with any previous paint on the surface.

If creating a magnetic surface as well as writable, you will also need to apply the matching magnetic paint or primer before priming the surface.

The area to be painted must be clean, dust free, dry, smooth and free of grease and detergents. Uneven layers of paint or peeling areas of paint must before removed. Sand over the surface with sand paper to give the smoothest finish possible. If you are painting over a glossed or semi-glossed surface, you must scuff the area with sandpaper to ensure the Blackboard Paint has something to adhere to. Following sanding, the surface must be cleaned to remove dust. To clean the surface, simply use a clean cloth which is damp with water only to wipe over the area. Allow to dry thoroughly. If you are painting a full wall you must mask off the ceiling where it meets the wall, adjoining walls and skirting boards or the floor as you will need to roller to the very edges. If only painting a portion of the wall, apply a masking tape border to the area prior to painting which will give a clean edge.

Irregular or highly absorbent surfaces will require a suitable primer to be applied before the Blackboard Paint coat can be added. This applies to potential surfaces such as glass, wood, stone, metal, plastic, melamine and concrete. Blackboard Paint should never be applied directly onto surfaces such as these as it will not adhere leaving a very poor finish.

Please follow the instructions carefully. Please refer to the user guide and videos for more information.

1. Open the Blackboard Paint and mix thoroughly for around three minutes until the pigment is evenly mixed throughout the paint. NEVER MIX THIS PAINT WITH ANOTHER PAINT.

3. Coverage must always be maintained at up to 5m² per 0.5L tin with one coat.
4. If painting Blackboard Paint over a light coloured surface, more than one coat may be necessary.

Rollers and trays can be cleaned using warm, soapy water following use. For best results, soak in warm soapy water as soon as you have finished using them before the paint starts to dry. If you get Blackboard Paint on your skin, simply wash off with soap and water.

Blackboard Paint can be used in conjunction with MagnetPaint to create a true magnetic chalk board.
