Prime the piece of MDF with one coat of Resene Quick Dry Acrylic Primer Undercoat. Allow to dry.

Paint the MDF with two coats of Resene Blackboard Paint. Allow at least two hours to dry between coats.

Step 3

Step three
Draw a large oval shape in the centre of the board with chalk. Carefully paint two coats of Resene Jacksons Purple around the edge of the board, using the chalk line as a guide. Don’t paint over the chalk as paint doesn’t stick well to chalk.

Fill in the spots using Resene Broom. Once it’s dry, wipe off the chalk line with a damp cloth, grab your chalks and get creative!
