How difficult is it to repaint over Chalkboard paint should I decide to repaint in the future?

If you are going to use chalkboard paint again, then I'd very lightly sand the surface, clean it, and then repaint with the same paint. If you are going to use a different paint, do the same thing, but make sure you use latex rather than oil-based paint. I'm a big fan of no-VOC paint.

i honestly don´t have that experiencie since i bought the paint to paint over a wooden board. but if you wish to repaint the surface i would reccommended that you eliminate this paint before you paint over it. that is why i bought the paint to use it over a wooden board, so i can give it the size i want and i can place it anywhere i want without bothering the paint. of course you can paint directly over a whole wall, that is one of the main uses of this paint, but again, i´m pretty sure it will affect any new paint you would place in the future.hope this helpsregards

I would consider it no harder than normal paint. Use primer then paint or you can use a all in one paint that includes a primer.

I never tryed but I would use kills on the wall 1st, it cover everything 2 coats of that should do it then repaint.

I haven't had a problem with this sticking to anything. however, if it is a rough surface, you may not have an easy time writing on it with chalk. You'll have all kinds of bumpy lines.

Pretty sure you can paint over it. I haven't painted over mine because I still use it for its intended purpose, however, painting over this would be just like painting over a whiteboard. If you ever made the mistake of using a permanent marker on a whiteboard you know, it doesn't come off; paint should be the same.

Not 100% sure. The white would probably show up. The colored ones barely showed up on the chalk board.

I used real chalk. I suppose marker would work better bc it would not smudge.

It's not 'chalkboard'. It's painted / coated with a satin, maybe semi-gloss finish. My daughter did purchase the kit to turn it into a chalkboard. My grandson will be 4 in Oct., I got this for his second Christmas. It's used to eat on, play on, drawer, paint, play-doh......everything a toddler can possibly think of. I's holding up pretty good!

I used a primer first just becase I was priming the rest of the room. I don't see any problem with just painting over it. It is vinyl and heavy enough paper to not have any problems.

No, you'll need to paint it yourself. I got my paint at Michaels, from a brand called testors. You'll need many different colors, so the initial investment will be around $10, but you'll have plenty left over for future projects.

I think it would be noticeable. Even if you got it almost perfectly aligned, you'd still see a seam. The larger the area is you are cutting and placing, the harder it is to work with and get straight. I found that smaller sizes are better (easier to apply and to eliminate air bubbles) for things like kitchen cabinets. If you have a big area, you're probably going to want to use chalkboard paint.

It's very good, I've repainted Red frame with a set and they're still going. But be sure to shake them well and most likely you'll need to do more then one coat, let the coats dry 100% be for re-coating. Other wise you'll damage the first coat and waste paint. The metallic paint need more shaking then the others as well, but once it's started it covers just as well as the others.

It really depends on how many coats you put on and how many coats you cover it with. the types dont matter as much (rare earth is probably the best though) as long as you get bigger magnets. I applied 2 thick coats of this before covering it with 2 thin coats of chalkboard paint and every magnet i have sticks to it. the really tiny ones though (1/8" square magnets) struggle to hold things on but everything else is fine.

Ofcos u need to paint more because of a big scale model. But if u wish not to paint it, it still looks ok. Color separation is really detail & accurate compare to 1/144

I have been using these for years - and I just bought a new set.... I have never had a problem peeling them off. I have used them on closet doors and a flat kitchen wall. The comment about the chalk is correct - but I purchased my own (soft) and it works perfectly. The last time I put these up I had to re-position them - and it was really easy. Perhaps I have a newer paint job than the other commentators - but I had no problems.

I haven't used the chalk board. Don't really want to, but I can tell you that the board is a good quality board. The desk and chair are also good quality. Well worth the price.

I have used this product under ordinary acrylic paint and it worked well. I used two thick coats of the magnetic paint. I can't think why it would not work with chalkboard paint.

No it won't peel the paint off, but I found that it is difficult to read with the way the chalk writes on the "blackboard." I returned them.

I use chalk all different colors. Use damp paper towel to erase, looks new all the time. I like it.
