    It's white board paint for your wall!!

    My husband's work just painted a meeting room with this stuff. Super expensive right now, but wouldn't it be so cool to paint your school room wall or table with it?!

    I love the idea... maybe in 10 years when it's way cheaper. Jon thinks it would cost $400 to paint our tiny office - just one wall!

    Crazy cool though!

    Wow... that is pretty cool! My one burgandy wall in my dining room needs a new coat (thanks to the kids who decided to draw on it!) and I have thought about getting the chalkboard mix in for it.

    Pretty cool all the new things they can do with paint... magnetic paint? Who ever thought these things up is genius!

    That is really cool. I like that the tabletops were painted with it too.

    Funny the one teacher was on a ladder. :lol:

    Very neat! Wouldn't work on our walls, though, they are heavily textured. But I did end up buying one of Costco's big white boards recently for $20 and I LOVE it!! It hangs nice, and even came with magnents, markers, and an eraser.

    No surface in my home would be safe!


    [I have a 4'x8' sheet of tile board on my wall. That's plenty big enough for now, but if the desks and tables were white board, too?! Oh my.]

    You can paint a wall with matt black paint and use it with chalks. I've known people who did that.

    I just googled it and you can get the rust oleum brand at Home Depot for $ 22 and that covers 12 square feet. I might have to try it...a great summer project.

    We had this paint on a wall in DD's room for a while. However, last year, she decided she wanted pink with green and purple :eek: . It was really nice though. We didn't do the whole wall though. Just a small section.
