Magnetic Paint is a grey, non-flammable, acrylic resin-based dispersion. The paint contains iron particles which attract magnets.

STIR Magnetic Paint THOROUGHLY before use to distribute these metal particles evenly. DO NOT DILUTE Magnetic Paint or mix it with any other paint or water.

For best results use Magnetic Paint at room temperature indoors. If you want to be able to remove Magnetic Paint at a later date, paper over the surface first. For best possible results use on a smooth surface.

Prepare the surface to be painted as you would for any other paint. An irregular or highly porous surface will not produce the desired result. Always treat a wooden door with a primer first to enable Magnetic Paint wall paint to adhere properly. Use a mohair roller to apply Magnetic Paint to a wall. Do not spray. Allow Magnetic Paint to dry for at least 3-4 hours before applying another coat. One litre of paint will cover more than 2-2.5 m2. Test Magnetic Paint on a small area of the surface to be treated first. Decide whether two or three coats will be sufficient for your magnets. The effect of Magnetic Paint depends on the thickness of the coats applied and the size and strength of the magnets; more coats strengthen the magnetism; weak magnets will not work properly. Do not use heavy magnets. Two to three coats of Magnetic Paint will be sufficient for standard flexible “fridge” magnets.

Overpaint Magnetic Paint with whatever colour of paint you want or finish with (a thin) wallpaper. Remove any spills immediately with a damp cloth. Keep free from frost. Seal tin after use.

Tools:
Magnetic Paint can be applied with a mohair roller or brush. Clean tools with soap and water after use.
