Description

Product Description Magnets attract to it like a steel surfaceEach 2.5 litre tin will cover 5sqm using three coats (minimum recommended)A minimum of three coats should be applied, although adding more coats will improve the magnetic attractionIn 24 hours it dries to a smooth grey finish which can be painted over with a top coat of emulsion of your choice. Why not cover with our sketch (whiteboard) paint or Blackboard Paint for a truly interactive finish.Best used with neodymium magnets and magnetic sheets and tapesThis water-based emulsion magnetic paint is not a magnet itself but instead transforms any surface into one that magnets will stick to. The paint contains very fine ferrous particles, which gives it its grey colour but after just 24 hours a top coat of your choice can be applied - why not combine with our sketch (whiteboard) paint or Blackboard Paint for a truly interactive finish?Magnetic paint is perfect for creating an interactive wall in the kids' bedroom, a picture gallery without needing to use pins or nails or for organising the home office without the confines of a noticeboard. For heavier items, we recommend using magnetic plaster, which provides a greater attraction than magnetic paint.

This depends on what it is you are trying to hold. If you are looking to hang something lightweight like photos or posters, then our range of magnets for noticeboards are ideal, or small self-adhesive magnets can be stuck to the back of the item you are looking to hang. If you are looking to hold picture frames or similar items then our high-powered magnetic sheet or magnetic tape should be sufficient. If you are unsure, contact our team today.What can I hang on a wall painted with magnetic paint?Magnetic paint is best used for hanging lightweight items that would ordinarily be mounted using pins or tack.
