FAQ's
General Product Questions
What is magnetic paint?
Magnetic paint is a specialist paint that contains magnetite, a form of metal powder that, once painted onto a surface like a wall, will attract magnets.
Are there various sizes offered?
Magnetic Paint comes in a 32 sq ft / 3m2 tin and a 107 sq ft. / 10m2 container.
What colours does magnetic paint come in?
Magnetic paint is black as standard and can be painted over with any chosen colour once fully dry.
Application & Usage
How can I make a magnetic whiteboard wall?
First, apply Magnetic Paint to the prepared surface and allow it to dry. Once cured, apply Smarter Surfaces Whiteboard Paint as a topcoat. This creates a smooth magnetic whiteboard surface that enhances collaboration and planning.
Can you paint furniture with Magnetic Paint?
Magnetic Paint can be used on nearly any flat surface. To achieve the best results, sand and repair areas as needed.
Is it possible to use magnetic paint on wood?
Absolutely, but first, make sure the surface is even; fill in any gaps with a filler, then apply magnetic paint followed by a primer and whiteboard paint. Lightly sand after each layer of primer and magnetic paint.
How to thin out thick magnetic paint?
In most cases, your magnetic paint should not need to be thinned. From time to time, during transportation, the magnetic paint can settle. So stir it first, and then if you need to thin the paint, add 5% water to the tin and stir it in thoroughly.
What type of magnets work with Magnetic Paint?
Neodymium (rare-earth) magnets work best with magnetic paint. Explore the Smarter Surfaces pack of 10 Neo Magnets.
Surface Prep & Priming
Should you prime walls before applying Magnetic Paint?
Only very absorbent surfaces should be treated with a primer before application.
What is the reason for applying a primer after using Magnetic Paint?
Primers assist in creating a smooth finish on the surface and will conceal the black colour (caused by the magnetic particles) of Smarter Surfaces magnetic paint.
Cleaning & Maintenance
How does magnetic paint work?
Magnetic paint works by effectively spreading a layer or multiple layers of liquid metal magnetite onto a surface like a wall. With three layers or coats of Smarter Surfaces magnetic paint, the liquid metal builds up to become a surface that is highly attractive to magnets, almost like a metal sheet. Magnets will bond to the surface.
How To Use Magnetic Paint?
Magnetic surfaces are typically used for planning, scheduling, posting, brainstorming, magnetic notice boards, magnetic walls plus lots more. For best results, we recommend using neodymium magnets (strong rare-earth magnets) with your magnetic surface.
Discover the strength of Smarter Surfaces Magnetic Paint and how to create dual or triple-function surfaces.
Does magnetic paint impact WIFI signals?
No, WIFI operates normally even when in proximity to Smarter Surfaces magnetic paints and plaster.
Does magnetic paint interfere with pacemakers?
No, the magnetic field generated by this type of paint is insufficient to disrupt the normal operation of pacemakers or other medical equipment. Pacemakers are built to withstand common environmental influences, including magnetic fields.
Can I use magnetic paint around the heaters?
Yes, Smarter Surfaces magnetic paint functions correctly when positioned near heaters.
Safety & Environmental
Is magnetic paint safe?
Yes, magnetic paint from Smarter Surfaces is very safe. It is water-based, solvent-free, and very low VOC, PFOA & PFOS-free and isocyanate-free, unlike some other magnetic paints that are available. Always check for these items before purchasing any magnetic paint. This means that magnetic paint from Smarter Surfaces can be applied in a DIY or professional setting.
When should personal protective equipment be used?
It is advisable to wear gloves while applying all Smarter Surfaces products. Safety glasses must be worn. As with any painting activity, ensure that the room is well-ventilated.
