I get to the bottom of wither magnetic primer works. This product by Rust-Oleum can be a game changer if it can deliver a paintable product that can turn a wood surface into a magnetic message board.
While it does not create the strongest surface for a magnet, it does make a decent surface. Be sure to do a minimum of 3 coats or the primer and a maximum of two top coats. To get the best results use Rare Earth Neodymium Magnets.

Product review
#rustoleum #DIYreview #productreview #paint #doesitwork
I enjoyed the hell out of this. (Just fell down a rabbit hole over here, no intention to use the product. But if I run into a friend attempting a chalk wall I feel confident to give some unsolicited advice.)
Thanks friend
😂😂😂
Thanks for the demo. This saves me a lot of trial and error. I'm just making a magnetic surface to display my wife's magnet collection so it should be perfect!
For my purpose, I think this paint will work perfectly. I’m building a slot car track with some pretty big elevation changes. I’m going to use this paint to give me better downforce in some of the more intense curves. (One of which mimics Laguna Seca’s world famous Corkscrew.)
As it is, the roughly 3/16” rails are the only source of magnatraction in those areas and you can lose control VERY easily. My plan is to paint a 1”strip just inside & outside of the rails of my slot car track. The second coat will be 3/4” and the third will be 1/2”. I’m hoping to give a smoother, more controllable drift in those particularly tricky areas of the track.
This review was extremely helpful, THANKS!
0:32 I'm sad that you did not review the chalkboard paint. I enjoyed the detailed review of the magnetic primer. You saved me a lot of time and money
I bought the chalkboard paint. I just need to make the video lol
@@natelarge saw it in your review and searched your channel for it, but nope. u still have it after all this time, wow.. :o LOL
Could you use the magnetic paint as chalkboard paint ?
IF you got 12 pieces of paper being held up by a magnet then i think its time to clear some clutter LUL
LOL
I think you may have had better luck sealing/pre-priming the surface first to reduce the soak in. I'm actually surprised that it held at all with one thinish coat though, seems like decent stuff
Yes, great suggestion.
just found this today (2024) and still very helpful and loved the video! 🎉
If I used this. It would be for some kind of picture mural. Fantastic video. Glad I found this!!
Thank you so much!
i was looking for dnd tiles and movement prevention. seams like it would work wonders with in certain parameters... thankyou very much for the video.
This was really helpful! I want to make a magnetic wall in my daughters playroom and make some wooden gears with magnets on the back, various other things for ger to play with. Im thinking for my application maybe sheet metal would be better.
Nice video! I like the way you are to the point.
I considered using this on my enclosed work trailer door. I figured I might be able to attach a neodymium shelf. But I highly doubt it would stay in place on our pot hole littered Michigan roads.
I really appreciate this demo.
Your welcome
Me too! 😁
Great Video! I keep 2 cans in my studio for small projects, I love it!
Is the paint actually magnetized or does it just apply some metal to the surface so a magnet will stick to it?
I did 5 coats and I swear it’s not as good as you’d think lol
That's what I thought also.
It's good for a few sheets of paper but not much more.
II think I'll make mine from some scrap sheet metal.
It seems the smell is pretty strong, does it safe to paint on toddler's room?
🤔 What are it's contents? Great Question❣
Love it. Very informative, thank you
Anyone know if this can hold kids magnetic tile toys?
Hi! Can a magnetic primer be applied on metal sheet?
well done Nate, thanks :D
Read about Vila tips article, and he suggests having the can shaken by store, to ensure even distribution of particles, or if bought online to stir with a drill and paddle paint mixer attachment the one he recommends is long but will fit in 1-5 gallon buckets has a picture to show on purchase page. Skip the wooden stirring as it probably won't do the trick. It will just be uneven with its hold, the pulverized iron will separate and settle at the bottom. You're slicing🫡
I did love your presentation and it was very helpful, thank you
Your presentation style is excellent!
Where did you find that rare small earth magnet? I can replace my magnets with these!!!
Home Depot, Lowes also has them too
So what happens if you do more than 3 coats of magnetic primer?
Any tips on how to take a magnetic wall down? Sanding it off?
Good question. I sanding might work. If it's on a hard surface then sand blasting might be a better option.
Good tutorial. Thank you
I just want to keep grand daughters from putting in pins for simple posters and some school papers and drawings, I believe one coat will work.
Hi!! Was that an N52 rare magnet?
Question. Could I use this magnetic paint then paint over it with chalkboard paint so I can use the same area for both magnetic and chalkboard????
I would assume instead of using latex paint I could use the chalkboard paint.
I have heard that you can that's what I am about to do
Does a thickness gauge see it?
Why not simply put a piece of non magnetic metal on the magnetic wall? If the wall is magnetic any metal object should still even if its not a magnet
I am thinking of painting the inside of a kitchen cabinet with this product to hold small magnetic spice tins. Thoughts?
It is an interesting idea with merit to explore.
If it's inside the cabinet, you'd be better off attaching a thin sheet of metal to the cabinet door. Take your intended magnets to the store with you and test their "stickiness" to the sheets before you buy.
How does the it do after applying dry erase paint instead of latex paint.
I think the dry erase paint would adhere to it well but the magnetic properties would be less because dry erase paint is thick like 3 coats of latex paint.
Super helpful and great video, thanks man
Thank you because this paint isn’t cheap
Great video! Thank you!
Very helpful. Thanks.
I wonder if within time the board would lose the power ?
It shouldn't, it's metal shavings inside and unless somehow metal turns into not metal in paint then it should always work. As he's stated the paint isn't a magnet itself just magnetic.
Very helpful, thanks 👍
I tried this all all the iron filing clumped up on the roller and large chunks came flaking off.
This issue may be caused because, the flakes are heavy and quickly settle in the paint requiring constant agitation.
I used my paint as soon as I got it from
Home Depot and I had them shake it in the paint mixer things for me
It worked well
Nate Large - Woodworking DIY & More I definitely noticed the settling by the time I got to coat 3. I had to really mix it up well with the stirring stick. I used it all within a few hours of having it shaken at Home Depot though. I had it shaken then immediately brought it home and started painting.
@@cherishedvalor I never would have thought of that thank you
great info!
Thank you ... very helpful !!!
Thanks.
Very cool! I jst bought some!
Thank you so much! Wow. Huge.
Great job dude! Thanks
You bet!
I’m using the magnetic primer and the chalkboard paint for my teen girls room. Do I have to use a foam roller?
Yes.
I am making a magnetic poetry board for the kids at my library. Do you think this will hold flexible vinyl magnets? Thank you!
I would think I would with multiple coats.
great video. Thanks!
Just watched your video, oh how far has magnetically receptive products moved on ! We can hang 10kg off a painted wall over only 1 sq mtr 😁
Woa, Nate from SOS right ??
Sure is my friend. Who goes there?
@@natelarge Alex Weston / MadSci
@@natelarge It's cool to see you doing stuff !! I wish u many blessings
Yes I remember you Alex. I'm happy to hear from you. Hope all is well with you and yours.
Do you have to paint over magnetic primer? If yes what kind of paint?
I’m using it on a sign board that will be used outside (and brought in everyday) for 3 outside events for 3 signs to mark location directions and menu
Any quality paint should work.
VERY helpful video man! Subbed
Can it hold picture frames with magnets attached to the back?
it depends on the strength of the magnet and the weight of the picture frame. You will be better of if you use rare earth magnets as they are much stronger
Thank you so much for this info! I am looking at the product to dip the tip of my drill bits in. Trying to lose less hardware. Thoughts?
I won't do that if I were you. The paint isn't a magnet it is magnetic because it has metal shavings in it.
i use a strong magnet from a harddrive that i took apart and rub the magnet in one direction on the bit. it works fairly well. it lasts pretty long. and if the bit looses its magnetizing strength, just do it again.
I literally just learned everything I needed to know about magnetic shit
Hey there, I really loved your video .. Thank you very much
A quick question: I have laser-cut MDF letters that I want to paint with that primer so they stick to whiteboards, you think that will work?
No
Question! What happens if I don't put any paint over the primer? Is it hazardous?
I don't know for sure but I think it would be as safe as all other primers, which means it is safe.
Thank you!
Great demo.
Does it stink even after it dries. It’s been 2 days after we painted and it stinks pretty bad.
It is normal for paint to take a couple days to off gas. Some finishes can take up to 30 days.
Fantastic!
making a bunch of chalkboards. If i commit to using exclusively rare earth magnets, would you recommend this product?
They worked for me.
@@natelarge thanks man. your video gave me exactly the info I wanted and I've made my first 3 chalkboards. They turned out great!
@@joemcconkey still work?
No one at Home Depot told me I needed gloves or a mask. I did 5 coats of magnetic primer the other day.
how do magnets hold?
Judy Sweat so I would say they do pretty well. Better than I had hoped after reading reviews. I did the 5 coats of magnetic primer then I did 2 coats of chalkboard paint of the same brand. I haven’t tested the chalkboard yet, but I’m a little concerned because the surface is rough from the bits of iron in the magnetic primer. However, even those cheap plastic alphabet magnets hang on the wall. They’re nowhere near as good as on the fridge, but they stay where I put them. And stronger magnets hold up papers. I’m going to get those rare earth magnets from amazon. I’ve read that they work amazingly well on magnetic paint.
@@cherishedvalor 9 months later, is it still magnetic??
Sorry to say no it dose not.After five coats magnets ,even the strong ones did not stick, and yes I followed directions carefully.
Thanks for adding your experience Marty.
I thought that if you used magnetic primer to paint a board, you could adhere ANY METAL OBJECT to the board (which is painted with the magnetic primer).
Why would you need a "magnet" to adhere to another "magnet"?
I thought that was the whole point of the magnetic primer -- you could paint any board with the magnetic primer to make it a magnetic peg board.
(I could, just, use a piece of sheet metal to make a peg board to which I could adhere any magnet!)
I've been researching this product for a project. Turns out you can't grind up magnets and infuse it into paint and retain the magnetic effect. So basically all these primers are ferrous metal infused paints. Then you must use a very strong magnet to barely work. I think it would be easier to just use a large sheet metal sheet on the wall and paint over it. By the time you put on 6 layers of this stuff (with prepping, sanding and clean up) and barely get magnets to stick, it seems too much work for the poor end result.
Problem is finding a large enough piece of sheet metal. I've been searching for days.
@@marcoavila2426 great summary!!
Suuuuper helpful. Thank you. Sub’d
Looks like black goo
But....you’re using a magnet to test a magnet? Shouldn’t I just be testing something metal to see if it sticks to the paint? 🧐🤔
the paint is not a magnet it is magnetic because it has flakes of metal in it.
Probably should be called Metal-infused paint, since it is not actually magnetic. Just sayin’👍🏻
True.
Thank you...you saved me money and mess....and remember folks ceramic magnets are way cheaper than the rare earth magnets!
Will this work for coins? I'm working on a magic trick.
The primer has pieces of metal in it. The primer is not a magnet it is magnetic.
@@natelarge Too bad it's not clear. Since it is black people will see that I've done something to the coin.
@@jf8050 delete your comments, a magician never reveals his secrets! ;)
After all you showed me, that magnetic paints are worthless for me. Thank you!
Glad I could help!
