ok so i was dead set on doing a chalkboard paint job on my car this week because i really like flat black cars and if u can write on them for fun that just makes it better. i went to lowes to go get some paint and rollers when i noticed that right next to the chalkboard paint was whiteboard paint. then i thought how cool would that be. now my question to HT is

has anyone done white board paint?

what were the results?

also do either one of these paint jobs hold up to the elements and time?

thanks for your help in advance

 

lol in for results

 

on a beater, this might be funny to try. please don't try it on anything wroth any kind of money though. you'll be pissed when it all chips off and you wasted all your time on it.

 

oh yeah this is just for over the summer for ***** and giggles until i get the money to straighten the body and get a professionally done factory paint job.. i got the car for 800 and i want to take care of some of the small rust spots now.. and if i gotta sand it down for that why not just sand the whole car and try something fun

also i tried looking it up and i couldn't find any results online so i asked some one at lowes if this paint would work on metal and they said they don't see why not... so i think i will just try the white board paint on a spare valve cover this weekend and see what happens. i will post pics if its successful or not.

 

It will not hold up to the elements, it is deisgned for indoor use and not to be exposed to UV. APC did a car with the chalkboard paint years ago and it looked great for about 2 weeks....

 

cool thanks for that info. i guess this is 50 bucks that i can save toward a better paint job.
