If you're looking to make your own chalk paint at a very economical price look no further! My husband decided he wanted to do one of the walls in our home gym with chalk paint but it can be pretty pricey. We looked up a DIY option and so I came right to Amazon to find the Calcium Carbonate Powder. There were several options but I am so glad I went with this 5lb bag because it took about 4lbs for a gallon of paint and that covered about 15 sq. ft. of wall doing 2 coats.
The actual painting process was exhausting (it's a very thick paint once you add the powder so you have to put a lot of elbow grease into the painting) but the results were fantastic! The wall came out beautiful with 2 coats and it's easy to clean with a damp soft cloth. My only big complaints are that chalk markers tend to not work well because they bleed into every tiny imperfection in the wall surface but that's not likely the result of the powder or paint so much as the wall. Just something I felt worth noting to folks who plan to use this the same way we did.
Overall, I'm really happy I picked this powder. It's economical, worked well, and comes in a size that is a good match for a single gallon of paint project. Would really recommend it!
