You're probably too young to have seen someone prime a school chalkboard, but here is a process which will be a safe way to make sure you don't ruin your chalk painted wall. Take a whole piece of white chalk, turn it on its side and coat your chalkboard wall with a film of chalk. Then use the eraser and wipe it off. When the eraser gets chalk covered, take it outside and slap it around with a ruler (or anything flat) to get the chalk dust off and continue wiping down your wall. You only have to do this once and it should prevent you from leaving a chalk outline when writing or drawing on the chalk painted portion of your wall with Melissa & Doug chalk or any other brand.

That is what we bought it for and it didn't work very well. It actually scratched the paint pretty badly.

i must say the chalk scratched my boards. the chalk is not smooth and i do not recommend it.

It would probably not show on the chalk board. But if you use a UV light on the chalk board it would be bright enough to show through. These are permanent markers, using it on the chalk board will make it permanently there.

I am not sure as I have only used it on a painted wall. I recommend asking the seller.

Hi, thank you for your question. While we have several customers who have successfully used our markers on chalk painted surfaces, we do not recommend it. Painted surfaces are typically porous, i.e., the surface has small pores allowing liquid to be absorbed or pass through. This makes it difficult to remove ink from the surface once applied. If you believe the surface on which the chalk paint was been applied is non-porous, please test a small inconspicuous area first to ensure you can remove the ink. Surfaces that are typically porous include wood, plaster, cement, tiles, cork and brick. Our Liquid Chalk erases easily with water on a non-porous surface, i.e metal, glass, slated chalkboards. I hope we have sufficiently answered your question. If you have any further queries, please don't hesitate to contact us, we are here to help. Lilly Morrison - Inspired By Craft

I painted 5 coats of magnetic paint onto my wall and added two coats of chalkboard paint over it (I didn't mix the two). It's working great for me as both a magnet board (using rare earth magnets) and a chalk board.

Hi Denise, Thanks for your great question. We would not recommend applying any chalk marker to a chalk painted surface, the reason being that paint is porous by design. This means that the surface has microscopic holes and ink will seep into the holes. We would recommend applying Chalk This Way chalkboard paper to your surface if making a chalkboard as it works brilliantly with our chalk markers. Regards, Paul Davidson Chalk This Way

I looked up DIY chalk paint on Pinterest and found out how to mix my own chalk finish paint (not chalk board paint). The one I use has indoor paint, water, and plaster of Paris. No need to strip or sand the piece. I used an off white paint, and want over it with the minwax dark paste to darken it and age it. It looks especially nice in the grooves and corners. I love finishing furniture this way because you can do even a big piece in one day!

I believe so. For these markers your going to need to do multiple layers to get a real saturated affect and once it's done chances are you're only going to be able to remove 90% of the chalk. It seems even soap and water doesn't get it all off. �

I understand that this product is to preserve a painted surface, not chalk. I have only used it on painted wood and worked well.

Yes - I use it on my produce stand to list what we have and prices, and I use colored chalk all the time. It's not meant to be used outside, but it has held up pretty well anyway. I clean it with a damp cloth, let it dry, then re-write as needed. Serves the purpose and the price was right.

Yes you can . Wall paint is acrylic based just like these craft paint are .

Yes you can, however, chalk is larger thus the letters become distorted. I have sharpened my colored chalk into a point but when you write a few letters you must keep sharpening. I just use paper to bring the chalk to a point. It comes with its own chalk writing implements and they work very well but it comes only in white.

I would not use for that purpose! Look on a can of Magnetic/Chalkboard Paint for the brand of extra-strong magnets recommended by the magnetic paint company.

That's what I used it for, I used it on white chalk paint and it came out completely clear every time. It was easy to scoop out of the container with a rag and rubbed on easily

Yes. But if the application is not done correctly you could possibly see paint come off when wiping the chalk marker off. A good prep job, a porous surface, and 2-3 coats will help.

I used them on a black standard chalkboard. They look great and super vibrant. Just requires some white board cleaner or windex to get it off.

I think you might be able to if you use on a smooth painted surface but I don't have that to test it. It won't stick to a painted wall - sticks great to tile.
