Question on magnetic dry erase wall

13 years ago

I am interested in a magnetic dryer erase wall but have heard several people have issues. Can you tell me what product(s) you used? Are you still happy with them?

Remodel West actually custom fit and mounted a thin metal sheet to our wall and over the adjoining door so we could use the magnets, then painted over with Idea Paint (comes in different colors) so it can also be used as a dry erase board. We had also read mixed reviews about "magnet wall" paints.
2 years later this entire area is much more crowded and well-used. Kids love the dry erase and have actually spent hours drawing on it with friends and I love the magnets. Great place to leave messages for everyone in the household!
