Description
Candy Magnetic Receptive Paint is a light grey pre-mixed lead-free, no VOC water-based latex paint that is child safe. It is able to transform any type of indoor/outdoor surface into a magnetic receptive surface. This unique paint is created by mixing very fine non-rusting ferromagnetic particles with water-based latex paint via a proprietary process, which gives it magnetic qualities.
Magnetic Paint eliminates the installation of an expensive bulletin or cork boards and photo frames which means eco-friendly. Magnets are attracted to these bits and pieces of iron. Artwork, posters, plans, and drawings can all be “hung” with non-invasive magnets, saving the wear and tear that is normally associated with tape, tacks and glue.

Q : How to Paint with Candy Magnetic Paint
A : How Candy Magnetic paint should be applied
Candy Magnetic Paint is no different from any other type of latex interior paint. If you have questions, you should consult with Candy Paint by WhatsApp +60 18 6388.269. We will give you the right tips for ensuring you get the most out of this paint.
Before you start, you need to be sure that the paint is mixed (stir or shake) thoroughly before you use it. This should be done often while you are painting as the iron particles will tend to separate out as you work.
When painting the walls you need to ensure that you use at least 3 coats of paint. You must finish all the paint without any leftovers. The more coats you use, the more magnetized the wall will become.
To paint the wall properly, it is best to use a foam pad or fine brush. This means you will be able to get a nice smooth finish. It is like applying putty on the wall.
When you find there are texture or sea waves on the surface of the final coat, spray a little bit of water on the surface and use the foam pad to stoke till it is smooth enough.
After the magnetic paint dries, test the surface with your magnet. Please note that a heavy magnet may not work on it. You might need to apply more coats.
When you find the surface is not smooth enough, here is what you do
1) slightly and gently sand with #180 sandpaper
2) apply a very very thin putty over the whole surface. The purpose is to fill up the gap only. DO NOT USE PUTTY TO COVER THE WHOLE SURFACE.
If you plan to paint Candy Dry Erase Whiteboard Paint on top, you might need to paint a very thin coat white color latex paint.
