Full details
PEBEO Magnetic Paint is an ideal solution for DIY enthusiasts, educators, and homeowners looking to transform everyday surfaces into functional, interactive magnetic boards. By infusing walls, wood, or cardboard with metallic particles, this acrylic-based primer enables you to mount photos, notes, and artwork without damaging the underlying surface. While it offers excellent versatility, users should note that the paint requires multiple coats for optimal magnetic strength and a 24-hour curing period before applying a topcoat.

Troubleshooting
Magnets are not sticking well to the surface.
The magnetic field is likely too weak. Apply an additional coat of the paint, ensuring it is applied evenly.
The topcoat is peeling or not adhering.
Ensure the magnetic primer has cured for at least 24 hours and that the surface was dust-free before painting.

Use a high-quality anti-dripping roller and apply light pressure to maintain an even distribution of the metallic particles.
