Overview

MagnetPaint turns virtually any smooth flat surface into a magnetic area for work or play; creating multifunctional surfaces in the home, office or classroom! It is a water-based latex paint, easy to apply and safe to use. The fine metal particles in the paint make the paint magnetic. It is a dark grey colour (approximately RAL 7015), but you can use it invisibly as a primer, and paint over the top with any colour. MagnetPaint can be used on wood and plastic as well. You can also pair MagnetPaint with Blackboard Paint or SketchPaint Whiteboard paint for a writable magnetic surface.

Preparation

The surface should be solid, clean, dry, and free of grease, dust and rust.

Remove loose coats of paint and clean old coats of paint with a paint cleaner.

Fill up any cracks and holes with a suitable filler and lightly sand the surface.

Remove any fat, dirt and dust present with water and ammonia. If possible, sponge it with clean water and let it dry well.

Wallpaper to be painted must be firmly attached. MagnetPaint can be applied directly to wood and stone surfaces.

For other surfaces, a suitable primer is advised.

Application

We recommend always following the manufacturer's instructions found on the tin. It is recommended that a small test area is applied before treating the entire surface to ensure compatibility.

Ensure product is thoroughly stirred before and during application, you might need a paint mixer due to the settling of the heavy magnetic component..
MagnetPaint can be applied with a long or short-haired roller for water-based wall paints. Or, when diluted with 20% water, it can be applied using Wagner XVLP spray technology.
Apply MagnetPaint to the surface in small patches at a time, creating a smooth and even layer. Apply more MagnetPaint to your roller and repeat on a new patch until the entire surface is covered with a uniform layer of MagnetPaint.
Lightly scuff up with a scouring pad in between every layer and brush off the dust. Do not use a wet cloth to remove dust.
Allow 4 hours between coats.
Let MagnetPaint dry for at least 12 hours before applying a finish layer.
MagnetPaint should be properly dried before it is coated with a finishing coat.
For an extra smooth result, the last layer can be applied heavily and smoothened with a putty knife, then sanded smooth after drying.
More layers increase the magnetic strength.
Wrap your roller or brush in household foil during the drying break.

Note: 24 hours after it is applied, MagnetPaint can be loaded with magnets. How much you can hang on the wall with a magnet depends not only the amount of layers, but also on the strength of the magnets. Also the weight and thickness of the object plays a role. The theoretical pulling force needed to remove a 029 mm Neodymium magnet from a fully applied system according to consumption is approx. 2400 N/m
