Super Magnetic Chalkboard Paint- Matt Black

How many coats are needed?

For best results, apply four coats of Super Magnetic Paint followed by two coats of Chalkboard Paint.

How long does each coat take to dry?

Each coat typically dries within 2 to 3 hours, depending on conditions. The full surface is ready for use 24 hours after the final coat is applied.

Can I use regular chalk on the finished surface?

Yes, the chalkboard layer is fully compatible with standard chalk, offering a traditional, dust-free writing experience.

Can this paint be used over previously painted surfaces?

Yes, it can be applied over existing paint, as long as the surface is clean, smooth, and properly prepped.

What magnets are recommended for use?

Neodymium or rare earth magnets provide the best hold and are recommended for maximum functionality.

Is it possible to write and use magnets on the same surface?

Yes, this dual-purpose paint is engineered to support both chalk writing and magnetic attachment simultaneously, making it ideal for collaborative and flexible workspaces.

Is priming required before application?

Priming is only necessary on bare, absorbent, or untreated surfaces. If already painted or sealed, a primer may not be required.

Is the surface resistant to scratches?

It’s highly durable, but we recommend using soft chalk or liquid chalk markers to avoid surface wear from excessive pressure or hard materials.

How should I clean the surface?

Prime the chalkboard by rubbing a piece of chalk over the entire area and wiping clean. For routine cleaning, use a damp cloth to remove chalk residue.

Can I repaint over the surface later?

Yes, but repainting with standard paint will eliminate the chalkboard and magnetic functionality unless you reapply the original specialist coatings.

How strong is the magnetic capability?

The paint offers high magnetic performance, securely holding up to five A4 pages with a single neodymium magnet.

Can this surface hold documents securely?

Yes, it can support multiple A4 sheets at once using a strong magnet, making it perfect for displaying notes or plans.

How long will the finish last?

When applied correctly, the finish can last up to 10 years and withstand regular use in high-traffic environments, offering long-lasting performance.

Is DIY Super Magnetic Chalkboard Paint appropriate for outdoor environments?

While the paint can be applied to exterior surfaces, its performance outdoors is not guaranteed under warranty. For obtaining the best results and longevity, indoor use is recommended.

Do fridge magnets or children's toy magnets adhere to the painted surface?

While most light magnetic items will stick, a stronger hold, especially for documents or materials, is best achieved using neodymium magnets. In order to improve the grip of lighter magnets, consider affixing a high-strength magnet to their base.

Is the paint safe for use around children?

Yes, absolutely. The paint is solvent-free, low in VOCs (under 11g/L), and conforms to high safety and environmental standards, making it suitable for classrooms and home environments.

Is it suitable for educational settings?

Yes, its dual-purpose functionality makes it ideal for classrooms and learning spaces that benefit from both display and interactivity

No. The paint is water-based and contains no solvents, PFOA, PFOS, or isocyanates, ensuring safe indoor use with no harmful emissions during or after application.

Can it be used in kitchens or food-safe areas?

Yes, its non-toxic and low-odour composition makes it safe for use in kitchens and food-preparation areas where indoor air quality is a concern.
