Hardware store that sells paint. Tell them what you want it for , if not uses flat black,
You can buy a can of Krylon brand Chalk Board spray paint for around $6 at any home improvement or hardware store. The stuff is about $6 a can, and is sufficient to cover one door.
Sherwin Williams has that stuff. Unless you are a painter and can get serious discounts, it is more expensive to make it than it is to buy it. As I have 4 children, I am speaking from experience. I thought about making a chalkboard wall for mine but in the end, the dust was too much for us and we turned it into a dry-erase wall using backsplash backing from Lowes, and a coffee can screwed into the wall to hold the pens. Seriously, the kids stuff was covered in chalk dust. their noses were constantly plugged with the stuff and even though it was in a separate room of the house, the stuff was everywhere.
Lowe’s, Sherwin-Williams, Home Depot. I like the magnetic paint myself.
WalMart has it, we just painted one for the kitchen that I have had 25 yrs. and one for the grandkid. It’s called Chalk Board Paint.
