Chalkboard paint

[Petorius]

I have a cool idea for my $300 craigslist GS500, which I have decided to keep for commuter use. I will be parking in an area that gets a lot of talented RISD foot traffic, so my thought is to do chalkboard paint and leave a box of colored chalk on the bike each day.

Anyone ever tried putting functional chalkboard paint on a bike or car?

I wish I had more to add other than we're gonna be painting half of my daughter's bedroom in chalkboard paint. And Al Gore...

Do you want Dick scribbles? 'Cause that is how you get dick scribbles.

I have homemade board at home.

It works OK, but you really need to wash it to get the chalk off. It's not like a real chalk board at all when it comes to whipe off and start over.

Gonna get the RIS-D for sure. They will surely be impressive.

I kind of did that in Worcester once with my car. Parked it and came back to find it all nicely spray painted, no veiny dicks though. Funny thing, I didn't even have to leave any spray paint for the artist.

You will be cursing if you ever have to paint over it. I know this from repainting my daughter's room before she was born. Previous owners went ape shit with a 2' tall border around the entire room. Sanding it down enough to blend with the new layer of paint was not entirely fun. Enjoy!!

this is a bad idea....unless you like dicks...then it is a good idea

I think the ghetto way to make chalkboard paint is just to add tile grout to regular paint. But it sets up real quick!
