Just cover the whole chalkboard with a magnetic paint, or tape off sections and spray different colored shapes. Word on the street is you need to use super strong magnets for the best results, so you may want to just paint a strip at the top where little hands can't reach.Jun 7, 2017

A magnetic whiteboard has the white surface deposited on top of a thin layer of steel sheet-metal, instead of particle board or MDF. Since it has steel behind the thin plastic, magnets stick quite well to it.
You can also use standard chalk and chalkboard markers to write on the surface. Your magnetic blackboard surface can be easily cleaned. Simply use a regular blackboard duster or microfibre cloth. Some chalky residue will remain when cleaning with a dry cloth but this can be removed by using a damp cloth.Jun 14, 2021
Conclusions. Magnetic paint does work well in some situations. If you can use an actual sheet of steel or a magnetic whiteboard, you will get a stronger hold from your magnets. If you do use magnetic paint, try doubling the recommended number of coats for a stronger hold.
In order to make a magnetic wall, you will need regular painting supplies along with magnetic primer and magnetic paint. The primer and paint must be stirred very well and applied in several coats in order to work.
The best chalkboard, if you can afford it, is slate. It is the combination of grain consistency and durability that allows the consistent accretion of chalk on the surface of the board. The only reason it is not used is that it is prohibitively expensive and either heavy or fragile, depending on the depth of the slate.Sep 10, 2013
