Product Information
Full details
Creative Deco Magnetic Paint is designed for homeowners, office managers, and educators looking to turn ordinary walls or objects into functional, interactive spaces. This water-based matte black paint allows you to create a surface where you can attach magnets and write with traditional chalk, making it ideal for planning schedules or displaying artwork. While it offers excellent versatility across wood, metal, and glass, users should note that achieving optimal magnetic strength requires applying at least three thick coats for the best results.

FAQs
Can I use this paint outdoors?
This product is primarily designed for indoor use. Outdoor exposure may cause the paint to degrade due to moisture and temperature fluctuations.
Do I need a special primer?
For most surfaces, the paint adheres well on its own, but applying a standard primer can help with uniformity, especially on porous surfaces like raw wood.
What kind of magnets work best?
Neodymium magnets are recommended as they are stronger and provide the best holding power on surfaces painted with magnetic paint.
Can I paint over this with another color?
While it is possible to apply a thin layer of topcoat, keep in mind that adding extra layers of standard paint will reduce the magnetic attraction significantly.
How long should I wait between coats?
The water-based formula dries quickly, but we recommend waiting at least 2-4 hours between coats depending on the ambient temperature and humidity.
Is this paint safe for children's rooms?
Yes, because it is water-based and has a low odor, it is generally considered safer than solvent-based alternatives, though standard paint safety precautions should always be followed.
Troubleshooting
Magnets are not sticking well to the wall.
Ensure at least three thick coats were applied. If coverage is too thin, the magnetic particles will not be dense enough to hold stronger magnets.
Paint finish appears streaky or uneven.
Use a high-quality short-nap roller and ensure the paint is stirred thoroughly during the application process to prevent settling.
Chalk is difficult to erase from the surface.
Ensure the paint has fully cured for at least 24-48 hours before initial use. If residue persists, use a slightly damp cloth to wipe the surface clean.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Safe, water-based formula with low odor
- Works on a wide variety of surfaces beyond drywall
- Dries quickly between application layers
- Creates a professional-looking matte black finish
Cons
- Requires multiple heavy coats for strong magnetic hold
- Coverage area is relatively small at 2m²
- Requires careful planning for specific magnetic weight requirements
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, start by preparing your surface to ensure it is clean, dry, and free of dust or oils. Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use to ensure the metal particles remain evenly distributed throughout the solution. Apply the first layer and allow it to dry completely before applying subsequent coats. We recommend a minimum of three thick layers; if the magnetic hold is not sufficient for your specific magnets after three coats, additional layers can be applied. Once fully cured, the surface can be cleaned using a slightly damp cloth to remove chalk residue. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents that could degrade the finish.
