Is this a white dry erase surface? or is it clear? Meaning if I put this over a black painted wall, will the black be visible or completely covered?

It's white. You won't see the wall behind it. Also, I noticed Frank's answer and I have no problems with it sticking to a normal painted drywall surface. It's been on my wall for a while now with no issues.

It is white. 3M used to make a product that worked well. I purchased Go Write because I couldn't find the 3M product any more. I was very disapointed with the Go Write. I put it on a brand new wall and it was on the floor the next mornning. I tried a fresh layer and the same thing happened. I had the 3M product on the wall for over a year, pealed it off and moved it to another wall and it has been up for 6 months without a problem. I would not buy the Go Write.

It's definitely white. Not clear. If you put this over a black painted wall, the black will not be visible. Hope this helps.

It's white so if you put it on a black wall, it's going to have a white square on it.

Covered.FYI - our is all coming off the wall. We even sanded the wall and washed it.

yes, I believe it would work like a white board, however Home depot sells MDF coated with white board paint for a fraction of the price. Phenolic is a big deal because it is super stable and perfectly flat. also it is a great insulator for circuit board work. that said I do believe it will work with dry erase markers

Is that a textured wall? I'm not sure, but I have mine stuck on a wallpaper painted wall, and have had no problems at all, no bubble no peeling off nothing. I even have changed them from place to place several times with no problem. I have several from almost covering a whole wall to smaller. I would email wallmonkeys and ask them just to be sure. It's a great product though. Sorry i really couldn't help.

I knew that I wanted only a white dry erase board and didn't care what color the trim was. Mine was black and the board were very sturdy and seemed to be good quality. I ordered two, one for each grandchild and they love them. Mine could be hung if that's what you wanted to do. E

The frost completely covers what's behind it. I have it up on a wall that's painted light grassy green and you cannot see the green behind it at all. It looks like a frosty/icy white against the green wall.

its def not see through. Its thick and we put it over a lighter print wall paper.It will look bubbly and its hard to smoothout but looks much smoother when it dries

I just received mine and it is clear. Given the thickness, it's not glass-clear so it does provide some opacity however it's definitely not white. It looks like the painting drop cloths you see at Home Depot (but pay double for). This is a good product, I'm glad I ordered it. We're using it to solarize our soil in the lawn.

I used some screen paint off of EBAY. Looks fantastic. Best $50 (for hardboard and paint and trim) I've spent on my entertainment setup.MUCH better than the white wall. The black levels are acceptable now. The paint is grey but slightly reflective, so it's still plenty bright.

It's transparent black. I love it. I'm probably going to decorated it with stickers and paint markers.

Yes, this basically has 3 different ways for kids to use it. The white board is for the dry erase markers, and the other side is for chalk. You can then roll the paper down to use and the board behind it then would be a type of hard easel board for the paper to rest against. But if you don't have any paper. you still have a chalk board and dry erase board. Now if you are talking about painting on the dry erase board, I would make sure I used only washable paint and try it on a little area. You may also want to make sure you do not leave it on for to long it may cause some stains. If that does happen you could try a mixture of bleach and water. I hope all this helps.

Possibly. The finish is similiar to dry erase. But not as dry erasable. I have not painted on it myself though. It might depend on what type of paint you are using. I would not use wetter mediums because it could potentially warp the board. I also don't know if some of the stickier paints would be a good idea either since they might stick when you close/fold the board. Personally I found markers artist/permanent were the best medium.

I don't think it will leave any trace. I had to remove part of one of mine (because I put it in the wrong spot) and it didn't leave any sticky residue. It is not like tape. I think you'd be fine putting it up on a wall for removal later. BTW I LOVE mine. I actually have two up, same design, just one right and one left facing. They are beautiful! Very easy to put up if you have a helper and follow the directions. I highly recommend watching some YouTude videos before you put it up. They are very helpful. Also, a great company to work with. My piece I messed up, they replaced right away and for no charge. Love it! A great all around experience. Let me know if you have any questions.

Sadly, none of the colors show up on my black dry erase board. I ordered them specifically for that purpose since they are advertised to work on black but they did not for me.

It has a clear background. I put it on a light pink wall and the background does look just a little bit reflective if viewing at the right angle, but certainly not white.

Chalk markers work fine and show up much clearer than actual chalk. I would suggest rubbing actual chalk all over it then wiping it off with your finger just to give it that actual chalkboard look. Then using marker over top of it.

You peel the clear with the letters on it so it looks like a sticker. The clear is what sticks to the wall

Chalkboard surface is usable. My daughter uses the crayola sidewalk chalk on it all the time. I feel it would have been better if it was a black board instead of green but my 3yr old who received this for her 2nd birthday loves it, uses both sides consistently.
