Mix one cup of Flat Finish paint in any color with 2 tablespoons of unsanded tile grout. Use a paint stirrer to make sure it is evenly combined with the paint. 

Sand with 150 grit sandpaper until smooth.  Clean off dust.

To condition, rub the side of a piece of chalk over entire surface. Wipe away residue with a barely damp sponge.

Now, I'm sure you have plenty of ideas to use your newfound skill!  What can you turn into a chalkboard?
