## Description

Transform any surface into a functional, fashionable blackboard with this durable, magnetic paint. Create a matte black chalkboard finish on wood, plaster, or metal.

Review: Great paint - did the job well! - Love this paint. We bought a rectangle of plywood to create a blackboard wall panel in the kitchen. It went on so easily with a thick coverage and dried very quickly with the current heatwave so I was able to record faster than the recommended 2 hours. I used a small roller which gave a nice even coverage. I tested the magnetic strength after 4 coats and it worked but I have a 5th coat just to make sure. It’s able to hold every magnet I’ve tried to far and holds a picture so that’s good enough for us. The only thing I’d say is the final finish (after 5 coats) is a little rough to touch so I imagine chalk will need wiping with a damp cloth to remove.
Review: It really works - you just need to apply enough coats. - I was dubious about magnetic blackboard paint - I'd read lots of poor reviews, but my wife was determined to give it a go anyway. And despite the bad reviews, it does work and really well. I suspect that the problem most people have with it is that they're not applying sufficient coats to build up the layers of material for the magnet to do its thing! To achieve the blackboard wall in the pictures I used about half a 750ml can and applied 6 coats. The paint is thick and covers really well - completely black after the first coat, and I think this may be where people are having a problem. They see that it is completely black, suitable for using as a blackboard... that's it then... oh, magnets don't stick... poor review. So, build up the coats, nice and thick, and it really works a treat! 😀

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Did the magnetism work?  How many coats did you need?**
A: It does work but is very weak even after 3 coasts with Neodymium magnets

**Q: How long does it take to cure...and so how long do I have to wait before writing on it with chalk**
A: Hi

Most paint coatings have a curing time of 7-10 days, this product is no different. Please allow 7 days for dry paint film to achieve its full cure time before using chalk on the finish.

**Q: Would this paint work on matt melamine? or would i need to use primer in the first instance?**
A: Hiya, I have used it on plastic soffit board, I did use a magnetic primer first as l understood it would work, with ordinary blackboard paint but  it didn’t work, so then l bought this and used 2-3 coats on top of the magnetic primer and got good results. This is not supposed to be necessary but it’s more belt and braces! Prob 3-4 coats of this would do just as well,, but can’t guarantee, hope this helps! L

**Q: can this be used on bare plaster?**
A: For any bare plaster you want to mix some emulsion paint with water 50/50 and give it two layers of watery paint before you paint this.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Paint not good for furniture
*by C***R on 10 April 2024*

The paint itself is good, but I had an idea to use it on a cabinet I wanted to repurpose. This was a mistake as the paint is very thick (given the magnetic particles) and it mednrbi could no longer close the cupboard or drawers. Paint also chips off furniture incredibly easily. So whereas I am sure this is great for blackboards, I wouldn't try using on anything other than that.
