    Chalkboard paint

    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...

    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.

    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!!

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