Review on Rust-Oleum Specialty Paint 1913830 Chalkboard Spray, Black, 11-Ounce, 11 Ounce by Rashid Vaquera

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Does its job, (but does leaves a mess behind).

First off, let me just say that I've never really used spray paint before. I probably should have prepared my area better, because this left a huge mess on my floors and walls. I didn’t realize that spray would cover such a large area, so I messed my wall up and now have to repaint it. Additionally, when I spray painted the sides of my upper (wooden) cabinets, but when I had finished there was residue all over my floors and counters. I had to mop the floors four times before it was all up. I would absolutely suggest placing something down on the floors before you start any project. I would also suggest a mask while using this product, or you’ll have black soot up your nose.Overall, the product is actually decent. It's easy to use; just point and spray. It does not drip, which is a plus, and dries within 20 minutes. I turned my cabinets into chalkboards so I could hang measuring cups, which I then labeled for easy access. There was plenty left in the can to do two coats on two cabinets; I barely used any for that project. I’ve also done a coffee table for my daughter (and a few other little items) and still haven’t used half the can.This can be used on virtually anything. My son and I played around with it and painted a bunch of different items just for fun. We used it on cardboard, plastic, glass, and wood. I would not recommend using this on anything you would hold a lot, like drinkware, because it did leave residue all over my hands.My finished products were very chalkboard-esque. I used normal chalk for my cabinets first, which worked well but the chalk was too big to write properly with. I then used a fine point chalk-marker, which turned out much better.

Pros
  • It dries quickly and is ready to use in just a few hours
Cons
  • It's difficult to achieve even coverage on areas with curves or corners
