Project time: 1 hour
Tools and materials
Creating your magnetic wall
Step one
Clean Surface and allow to fully dry.
Step two
Tape off the area you would like to paint
Tip: Stir paint thoroughly before and regularly during application to ensure paint is consistently a smooth, dark grey colour.
Step three
Apply one coat of Rust-Oleum Magnetic Primer to the wall. Apply a second coat after 30 minutes. For best results, apply three thin coats instead of two heavy coats.
Step four
After allowing paint to dry for at least 4 hours, apply a top coat with the emulsion of your choice.
Tip: Create your magnetic space low enough on the wall that children can enjoy using it. It's perfect for noughts and crosses and spelling games!
