Hi. Can anyone tell me what is the difference between matt black paint
and blackboard paint? I already have this matt black paint:

How is it different from this blackboard paint?

I would like to make a blackboard and was wondering if I could save a
trip to the shops by using what I already have? Thanks in advance.


If you read the descriptions in the two links above, they are *very*
similar - including a bit for the ordinary matt black which says "ideal . .
for blackboards"!

I'd just try it. If it doesn't work for any reason, you can always
over-paint it with the 'proper' stuff.
