Hi All

I decided to paint the crusty old beer fridge in blackboard paint so I can write what’s on tap. Then I tried getting artistic (not my forte).

Looks pretty good I think. Cost about $25 for paint and brushes. Tell me what you think or post pics of yours.

Sorry, all I can see is that awesome font.

Blackboard looks good too. Are you using a wet chux to clean off the chalk?

I did use a wet chic after I used a chalk duster. It left a lot of white behind.

The font is great, it’s a 4 way Andale font. Well worth the expense.
 
You can also get chalkboard pens with liquid chalk. Might be easier to apply and remove.

I've tried this on my beer fridge that is painted with blackboard paint, and I don't recommend it. The liquid chalk pens leave a faint permanent mark due to the slightly porous blackboard paint.

Ah righto. I use them on chalkboard labels which wouldn't be as porous.
 
I guess they might have a less textured surface than the spray paint I used.
