In addition to organizing this cabinet to house my baking goods, small appliances and glass bowls, I decided to make use of the inside of the cabinet doors and turn them into magnetic boards, where I could put up recipes, invitations, my pet feeding instructions....etc. I painted the inside of the doors using this magnetic paint by Rustoleum.
The magnetic primer comes in a black color, and the box advises putting 2-3 thin coats on your desired surface, and then covering with a latex paint if you want it to be a color other than black.
I have put about 5 coats of the magnetic primer on the inside of my doors thus far, and I am really disappointed in the magnetic strength of the paint. It is a very weak magnetic board and it is currently taking two magnets to hold up a small piece of paper. I had hopes of painting the magnetic boards a light blue color, but I cannot imagine putting latex paint over the magnet primer, as I think it would further weaken the hold. I am going to continue to layer a few more coats of the magnetic primer, hoping to increase the magnetism and make the boards functional, but currently I have to say I am very unimpressed with this product.
