The idea of developing a color chalkboard paint has been three years in the making, starting with the design of a school in NYC. In the school every room and it's chalkboard were going to be painted a different color, with a big orange chalkboard in the entrance. To my surprise, we could not find any chalkboard paint color than black or green.
So I started mixing paint, it is my passion and forte. After developing enough of a color palette, I started selling the paint at local craft fairs. Reaction to the paint and colors was great, and soon the demand for it reached the limit of my studio mixing capabilities. From that point on we started looking for a local manufacturer to produce a high quality paint that met our standards.
We found a great factory in the hudson valley and after a lot of work, HUDSON PAINT was born. Chalkboard paint for my family and I has become a total obsession, and with the amazing help of some of my friends, who made this website and the cool label, we are dedicated to offering a safe, fun, creative product.
Paint, especially color, are my passion and life's work and we hope to be offering a full line of paint based on our colors, soon. I hope you have a great time filling your life with our colors!

Hello! I can't quite figure out how to contact you otherwise, since I'm in Doha, Qatar, and to call the states would take quite an effort! Anyways, I work for ABODE Magazine. We're interested in including a bit about your chalk paint in our September issue. Do you have any high resolution photos?
Hi,

Hi,
Same as the above comments. Your product looks amazing and I haven't been able to find anything like it in Australia. Are you able to sell and post the paint to Australia and have you already or are you interested in having a distributor in Australia?
Look forward to hearing from you.
Cheers

Hi, I wish you guys had a contact email here....I used your paint for a children's art table surface. Before I let any kids play with it, is it safe for kids? Is there lead in it? Should your paints only be used for wallks, and not tables when kids are around?
please email be back with information and a reply. thank you. cyndi.mcmahon@gmail.com

Love this post. Love everything actually.cheap shoes
Just painted an entire bedroom in your chalkboard paint AGUAGIRL BLUE color; including the 4 wall wrap around room shelving with pegs and other built-in bookcases. We are beyond thrilled with the results. The application and coverage with this paint was amazing and of the highest quality. And our client is impressed with the workable chalkboard surface - it's perfect.
Is there anywhere in either Ireland or England where I can buy your products.
