What Customers Are Saying

The chalk paint has received mixed reviews. Many customers reported that it provided good coverage, dried quickly, and was easy to apply, producing a nice matte finish.

not as it appears.

Description of the chalkboard paint and colors are VERY misleading!! when I ordered the chalkboard paint I was under the impression that I was getting the color that was shown on my phone which was Iron Frost. When it arrived I opened it up and mixed it up over and over again only to realize that I didn't get what I wanted. so I ordered another quart of a different color hoping maybe I just got a bad quart? I then realized that what I received was just to table base!

Buyer Beware

Would Not Recommend

I've made 2 different orders, at 2 different locations, & at 2 different times. both orders were "done" incorrectly. If I order a specific color option from your website, I expect to receive that color. Who even sends un-tinted cans in an order? it's not even like they had to physically get it tinted. it showed 2 cans left in lime, I ordered 2 cans. the app still says there are 2 available BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T ACTUALLY PICK THE ORDER CORRECTLY. that doesnt even scan as the same barcode! How does t...

Wrong item! Price discrepancy!

The product that arrived is not what I ordered, the paint was supposed to be a dark gray instead I’ve received a off white color, plus when I placed the order online it was on sale advertised one price and they charged another, overall very disappointing with the service.

Great color!

Would Recommend

Love this color! (This is more my fault than the paint's, but it does drip fade if the fan isn't kept on in the bathroom. Seems to come off slightly over time with water in the air. So probably not the best type of paint to use in small bathrooms with bad ventilation. Great everywhere else!)

Not Worth it.

Would Not Recommend

Just a basic matt paint. No more matt than a regular flat paint but 4 times the price. Also, the color (Hermatite) that Lowes has advertised, is just the white paint that they mix the color when you pick up. I Ordered online, so I did not know this. If I did, I would have looked at other color choices.

Chalk paint

Would Recommend

It’s not the best chalk paint, but it most certainly is not the worst. Cracked pepper is an excellent color choice. The paint itself is a little on the thin side. I did four coats and was happy with coverage. I top coated with poly because I wanted the added protection. Time will tell!
