Sidewalk chalk is for the sidewalk, chalkboard chalk is for chalkboards. And cars.

I finished!
Came home from class, and primed the car with chalk.
Wiped it off with a microfiber cloth, got this
I was freaking out, but went inside and got a spray bottle, wet the hood and wiped.
It came out looking like it was MINT. No residue AT ALL.
So I proceeded to have my much awaited fun
After I was done, I wiped it off with my damp cloth, and it looked good as new
No just the hood, should have written that better.
I looked online, and that chalk is safe for blackboards, so Ill be buying tons of it

Use a air gun, and just prime it. It will be fantastic

If I would have done it with the brush the first time, I would have finished in a day. Its way simple to do. If I had the hundred bucks, I would have just bought a decent electric sprayer and been done with it. even with the brush its not perfect, but id give it a solid 90.
Lesson also learned, theres no way to sand it smooth without having to repaint that area. The way it goes on has to be the final way, which is quite the beating.
