Dry Erase Whiteboard Paint

[andygambles]

We are looking to turn a wall in our office to a massive whiteboard. (10ft x 26ft).

Therefore covering it in something like this

Does anyone have any experience of doing this? How easy is application? Any painters/decorators out there willing to do it?

We have it in an office and it works reasonably well.

Unless the finish is totally smooth, you will end up with ink in the tiny pits and crevices that erasers and cleaning cloths can't get into.

And some numpty will use a permanent marker pen at some point.

Is it easy enough to paint on?

No I want to cover an entire wall 260sq ft

That is some SERIOUS Gantt Chart work you're getting up to in your office.

Blimey - you opening a "boiler room" ?

Not too sure - we had a painter & decorator do ours - but it didn't look any more difficult than the other walls.

Sorry I'm a bit slow not getting the boiler room reference

We like a lot of creative space. If it goes well might do the other wall as well

Thinking of getting a professional to do ours as well. Just was not sure if it needed anything special.

Sorry to bump an old topic but i'm looking to do the same for someone and have been scouting for ideas;

Andy, do you know what product was used? There seems to be 2 main ones;

Posh option £150 ish is smartwall paint (.co.uk for details)
or a cheaper Rustoleum for about £45

Both cover a bit over 4sq meters, that's a big price difference.. Any ideas?

And how do you feel about the whitewall now you've had it for a while? Have you painted over in anger yet?!!

Thanks
Tom

We used the Rustoleum product.

It works well although not like a proper whiteboard. It has improved over time which makes me think we did not leave it to harden for long enough. Have some more paint and we plan on doing another couple of coats and leaving for 2 weeks when we stop writing on it .

Cheers Andy, glad you said that!.. I'll see how i get on with that then

Thanks
Tom
