Everyone loves a freshly painted room. But who likes the fumes, headaches, scratchy throat and watery eyes that often come with painting?
AFM's SafeCoat Paints & Stains have been providing safer, high-quality paints and stains for decades. And now with our computerized color matching system, we can match most paint colors from other manufacturers, like Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams, Behr, and the specialty colors from celebrity paints, such as Ralph Lauren, Marthew Stewart, and others.
We also provide the best in concrete staining and sealing with the Eco Procote line of products. Even our Military has used these products in plane hangars and other base buildings.
Safer, non-toxic paint strippers can help start that painting job without the chemical hazards of regular strippers.
For non-toxic chalkboard paint in any color, follow this recipe-
Start with flat-finish, non-toxic latex paint in any shade. For small areas, such as a door panel, mix 1 cup at a time.
1. Pour 1 cup of paint into a container. Add 2 tablespoons of unsanded tile grout. Mix with a paint stirrer, carefully breaking up clumps.
2. Apply paint with a roller or a sponge paintbrush to a primed or painted surface. Work in small sections, going over the same spot several times to ensure full, even coverage. Let dry.
3. Smooth area with 150-grit sandpaper, and wipe off dust.
4. To condition: Rub the side of a piece of chalk over entire surface. Wipe away residue with a barely damp sponge.

Before the use of our homemade chalkboard paint we had this boring brown door covering our electrical panel. Even with our Christmas wreath decoration this thing was an eyesore.

After Tony painted the interior panel with chalkboard paint he made using Safecoat Flat paint, he painted the frame with Muralo NanoKote in a cool green. Then he started making good use of our new chalkboard.
The finished project - a beautiful, useful chalkboard that anyone can create.
