1. PREPARE: Always work in a well-ventilated area and use a drop cloth to protect from drips
and spills.
2. PAINT: Use your Cabinet Transformations Light Kit to give the cabinets a fresh new color.
Once the cabinets are completely dry, you’re ready to add the chalkboard.
3. CHALKBOARD: Use painter’s tape to line the recessed panels on the cabinets. To prevent
paint from dripping on the other parts of the cabinets, you can also cover the rest of the cab-
inets with masking paper. Next, stir your Chalkboard Brush-On paint thoroughly with a stir
stick. Then, use a foam roller to apply three coats of chalkboard paint to each panel, waiting
2-4 hours in between each coat. For a smooth, even nish, use light and even strokes and
avoid excessive rolling.
4. FINISH: Let the chalkboard paint cure for three days. Once it’s cured, rub the side of a piece
of chalk over the entire surface and erase with a chalkboard eraser or dry cloth. Once the sur-
face is completely conditioned with chalk, your cabinets are ready for business!
