I tested the four most popular ways to make homemade chalk paint: calcium carbonate, plaster of paris, non-sanded grout and baking soda. I compared them side by side to see how well they adhered to laminate, their texture, and how they looked with a topcoat.
I found the best DIY chalk paint recipe in this side by side test. Spoiler alert: yo CAN make your own chalk paint that's just as good as expensive brands, in any color you want!
