  3. Remove the hardware.
  4. Basecoat the drawer with Ocean.  Allow to dry.
  5. If there is not a molding piece in the center of the drawer, tape off a rectangle in the center and paint it with the Chalkboard paint. 
  6. Condition the chalkboard by rubbing the chalk all over the chalkboard and then wiping it off.  Now the chalkboard is ready to be written on with chalk.
