Rust-oleum 247596 Magnetic Latex Primer, Dark Gray, Qt.

Rust-Oleum Specialty Magnetic Primer is a dark gray latex basecoat designed to transform ordinary interior surfaces into ones that attract magnets. This specialized primer creates a unique finish that lets you build custom magnet boards on walls, furniture, and other surfaces throughout your home or workspace. It works on wood, metal, masonry, drywall, and plaster, giving you flexibility to start your magnetic project on nearly any interior substrate.

Create a fun and functional magnetic surface that accepts any latex paint, chalkboard paint, or other latex-based topcoat on top, letting you match your décor while keeping the magnetic functionality underneath.
