Can I create a magnetic whiteboard on any surface?
Smart Magnetic Whiteboard Paint can be applied on almost any smooth surface including plaster, wallboard, concrete, wood and plastic, as long as the surface has been sealed before application. It is essential to prime the surface first with Smart White Primer or any good quality water based white primer if the paint is applied over plaster, dry wood or a very porous surface.
Why should I apply primers after applying the magnetic paint?
Primers help give a surface a smooth finish. Primers are also used to conceal the grey magnetic colour (due to the high iron content) of our magnetic products.
