Rust-oleum 206540 Chalkboard Paint 30 Oz Black

Product Description

The RUST-OLEUM 206540 is a 30-ounce brush-on latex chalkboard paint that converts nearly any solid surface into a functional chalkboard finish. Formulated with low-odor latex chemistry, it applies easily with a brush and cleans up with soap and water. One quart-sized container covers 100 to 125 square feet depending on surface porosity and application method. The flat black finish cures to withstand repeated chalk writing and erasing without degrading, making it a practical solution for job-site signage, shop organization boards, or facility markers. Licensed tradespeople and facilities maintenance crews are the typical end users.

This paint is suited for light commercial and residential applications where a durable, rechalkable surface is needed. It is approved for use on a wide range of substrates including wood, metal, masonry, drywall, plaster, glass, concrete, terra cotta, paperboard, and hardboard. Typical use cases include utility labeling panels in mechanical rooms, instructional boards in trade training facilities, and surface markings in warehouse or shop environments where chalk-based notation is preferred over permanent marking.

Installation Notes

Surface preparation is critical — clean the substrate thoroughly and ensure it is dry and free of loose material before application. Apply in a well-ventilated area even with the low-odor formula, and allow full cure time before use as a writing surface. No specialized trade license is required for application, though facilities maintenance or painting contractors typically handle larger installs. Follow local VOC regulations where applicable.
