What can I hang on a wall painted with magnetic paint?

Magnetic paint is best used for hanging lightweight items that would ordinarily be mounted using pins or tack. Or for creating an interactive play wall in a child’s bedroom.

How much weight can magnetic paint hold?

This depends very much on the number of coats applied, the type of the magnets used, the size of the magnet used and the texture of the surface wall. At first4magnets, we would not recommend attempting to hang anything heavier than 2.2lbs.

How thick should you apply magnetic paint?

At least three coats should be applied. The more additional coats applied, the stronger the magnetic attraction will be. The paint is best applied with a short nap roller. For a smoother surface, apply quite thickly and then smooth off with a trowel.

How much does one tin cover?

Applying three coats, every litre will cover 2sqm.

What surfaces can magnetic paint be applied to?

Do you need special tools to apply it?

No special tools are required. Although for best results it is recommended that you use a short nap roller.

Can you apply a top coat over magnetic paint?
