Has anyone tried this?
I want to get a piece of pegboard and paint it with blackboard paint so I can use a piece of chalk to outline everything I have hanging on it so it will be easier to keep things in the same place all the time. I hope this makes sense. And does anyone know if the blackboard paint comes in a spray can?
If anyone has done this, how did it work out?

I have done it in reverse for my tools. I have regular pegboard on my tool bench and used a black marker to outline tools so I would know where they were to be returned. Inside the drawers as well. Works well enough that picky brother liked it so much he went home and did it on his.

I haven't used the spray paint but I have used the brush on. I did the bottom half of a wall in the playroom for my grandkids. It works great ...except... it doesn't have the smooth surface that purchased chalk boards have. It is a bit rougher where an eraser only smears the chalk around instead of removing it. You have to use a damp cloth to clean it off. I put magnetic primer under it then 3 coats of the chalkboard paint. Since I put 3 coats of paint on top of the primer it isn't very strong to hold heaver magnets if you want to hang up paper or pictures etc. Also Lowe's has a brush on chalk board paint that you can tint to other colors that just black.
