I was at The Home Depot today and took a shortcut down the spray paint aisle. I wasn’t looking for spray paint, but a section caught my eye.
It was the Rust-Oleum Specialty line, and they had some really cool stuff. Some of these were spray paint, and some were regular brush-on paint.
- Chalk Board – When it dries, it creates a chalkboard surface.
- White Board – Same thing, but a white board (dry erase) surface. I’m thinking if I had kids, I’d put this all over their bedrooms.
- Magnetic – A primer that creates a magnetic surface. You can paint over it with latex paint or even their chalkboard paint. You could create a magnetic spot on your wall and hide it with regular paint.
- Stainless Steel – Spray it on your refrigerator to upgrade to a Stainless Steel finish for a fraction of the cost. I obviously haven’t done this, so I don’t know if it is crap or not.
- Countertop Paint – Tired of those old laminate countertops? Don’t replace them, just paint them. It comes complete with Antimicrobial Protection.
Again, no idea if these work as advertised, but thought it was at least a cool concept.
Now I just have to figure out which wall I want to make magnetic.

Oh, man. I SO want to make a huge magnetic whiteboard wall!
I think next time I paint I’ll use magnetic primer, just for fun.
I wonder if that could screw up radio frequencies in that room or something! I suppose the wall wouldn’t be magnetic, but it would have metal in it. OK – now I wonder if you could use the paint to make some type of Faraday Cage?
I wondered the same thing. (About the interference to say, surround sound systems, not the cage.)
