A Simple Colored Chalkboard

Step 4 Third and Final Coat and Conditioning

Once the second coat dries you can roll on the third coat of paint. This evens out the paint and makes it the grout less vulnerable to being exposed.

After the paint dries cover the board with chalk. There are a couple of ways of attacking this: either color and smudge or use the side of the chalk. As long as the board gets covered then you are fine. After that is finished, take a damp cloth and wipe off the chalk. This conditions the board and allows you to see if there are any areas that aren’t quite good enough. If it is necessary then add another coat with a little bit of grout in it.
