Planning to paint a section of our playroom with chalkboard paint. Our house is very new so all of the walls are slightly textured drywall. Was wondering if anyone thinks that would be a problem. No chance we are sanding our wall! Also, any tips on...

I did a wall without sanding on my slightly textured wall and hated the result. I ended up sanding and repainting. Try writing on your wall with chalk now and see how you like it. It will be even more textured with a few coats of chalkboard paint.

Works very well on a chalkboard so am guessing a chalkboard painted wall is similar. It's both washable and erasable. One thing though it's more brighter than a regular chalk so a regular chalk eraser leaves a faint mark behind. Wet cloth would clean it clear. On paper a kneaded eraser works great. Have not tried it chalk board.

depends on if you are refinishing or starting from scratch? I refinished a small size old fashioned chalkboard about one and one half foot square and used very little. less than a quarter of the can. but did several coats to look good. you will have to experement to really see?? Sorry!

Hi Veronica, yes you can. I used the wall mural for our school play, Once Upon a Mattress and we put it on Luan which is a very thin wood paneling sheet. While we did begin using the paste mixture that came with each box. We found it did not mix very well in the water and was actually very glubby (if that's a word). We began using wall paper paste that we got at Home Depot and that worked much better. I hope this helps.

We are using on painted chalkboard and I would say its "OK". The colors aren't super bright and one thing that was erased I ended up wiping off with wet paper towel because it left a ghost

I looked up DIY chalk paint on Pinterest and found out how to mix my own chalk finish paint (not chalk board paint). The one I use has indoor paint, water, and plaster of Paris. No need to strip or sand the piece. I used an off white paint, and want over it with the minwax dark paste to darken it and age it. It looks especially nice in the grooves and corners. I love finishing furniture this way because you can do even a big piece in one day!

My walls are textured as well ..like super textured and so far no problem with peeling. It's been up for about a couple months now, just make sure you rub your palm over it.

We use on chalkboard painted menus. It wipes off fairly cleanly. Over time, a residue builds. If the surface is very shiny, you've got a good chance.

I don't have textured walls, but the stencil is VERY nice and it's very sticky, so you may be ok with slightly textured walls.

if its a textured wall, I'm not sure. I put them up in my classroom and the walls are bumpy, but not in the on purpose way. If it's bumpy due to textured paint ot something I might go with no. If the bumps are just from multiple coats or age, I think yes.

A normal dry wall is no issue. The small bumps don't prevent it from sticking since the sticky bit is on a foam like material that can mould to small bumps and depressions. However stucco type irregular surfaces might be a difficult.My new home has normal drywall and my pictures have been up for two months now. No problems so far!Cheers ...

who much of a texture is it? only because my walls are completely smooth and it was ok to apply,I had to go back over it a few times and over the last few days I have to smooth certain spots out. I honestly would not spend the money risking it not sticking correctly.

They have been up for about a month and we've had no problems at all. The decals are so awesome. W we painted the walls and let it harden for 2 weeks like they suggested and they are textured semi gloss walls. There has been no issues.

Hello Merry, Our decals are meant for smooth surfaces, though they've done well on orange peel walls. Generally, they don't stick well to things that are spiky, or porous. I'd be happy to take a look at a snapshot of your wall.Thank You,

My walls are textured, I think like the 'crow feet' texture, and these went on it just fine. I rubbed them a little more to make sure they were on there and going to stick, but I haven't had any problems with them yet. I only put them up Satruday, but they seem like they are going to stay!

I think they work GREAT on canvas board.. if he/she pushes hard she'll just be wasting product but they are quite fun on canvas board. once done with the coloring, he/she can paint out the colors. I've had nothing but positive results with gelato's. or the kids 12 stick box of colors. Enjoy

Yes! It took off not only the paint but the drywall too! Also chalk really doesn't write on these. I'd advise a real chalkboard.
