Awesome thread, just what I was looking for.

I'm looking at the Melissa and Doug Deluxe Easel for my little one, and it's awesome, except for that neither side is magnetic. Bummer!

My question is, can I take the chalkboard panel that comes shipped with the easel, paint coats of magnetic paint on it, and then paint over that with blackboard paint?

In other words, is a chalkboard an OK surface to start with when working with magnetic paint?

And to repeat some comments before, what's better - individual layers ( magnetic paint first, blackboard paint second), or just go straight for the blended magnetic blackboard paint.

TIA
