Magnetic Whiteboard

I needed a new whiteboard so I found some paint at home depot that allows you to paint a whiteboard anywhere you'd like.

I figured why not put a layer of magnetic paint underneath it.

The only thing left to do is paint my face underneath the arrow.

it's actually very smooth. I had to put about 5 layers of the stuff on.

What did you use for the border? And did you have to do any sanding?

I used just some basic semi-gloss black paint. The instructions said to sand the surface to have it bond better. However since I had a few layers of magnetic paint underneath it, I didn't bother sanding.

One thing I should point out is that you will have better results if you put a layer of gloss paint before the whiteboard paint.

Also when it comes to erasing it's best to use the dry erase "solution" that i think EXPO makes.
