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.

It's not just "matt black" - it's "course black". Blackboard paint is rough like
fine sandpaper. It is also very hard wearing and totally waterproof (you will
want to clean off the chalk with water now and then).

From what I remember, it also seems to use an unusual solvent. I'm not sure if
that has anything to do with its roughness.
