What’s included
- Sand and prime the target wall section before application
- Apply three or more coats of magnetic primer for maximum magnetic strength
- Stir magnetic primer thoroughly between coats to keep particles suspended
- Allow each coat to dry before the next
- Apply decorative topcoat in any color after the magnetic primer cures
- Test magnet hold before finishing the job
How it works
Prep and base coat
We sand the wall smooth and apply a standard adhesion primer so the heavy magnetic primer has a solid base to grip.
Apply magnetic primer coats
We apply at least three coats of magnetic primer, stirring thoroughly between coats, and test magnet strength before deciding if another coat is needed.
Topcoat with chosen color
Once the magnetic primer has cured, we apply the decorative topcoat in your chosen color, leaving you with a functional and attractive wall.
Problems we fix
- Weak magnetic pull from only one coat of primer — multiple coats are essential for holding power
- Inconsistent primer application from not stirring enough, causing the magnetic particles to settle
- Magnets holding poorly because the topcoat applied was too thick, reducing the effective magnetic pull
- Rough surface texture from magnetic primer requiring sanding between coats to smooth out
Magnetic Paint Application in Charleston — FAQ
How strong is a magnetic paint wall?
Strong enough to hold lightweight papers and small magnets with a good-quality neodymium magnet. It won't hold heavy objects like steel tools. For the best hold, we apply at least three coats of primer.
Can you paint any color over the magnetic primer?
Yes. Once the magnetic primer is dry, it accepts any standard wall paint as a topcoat. You can make a magnetic wall in any color you like.
Is magnetic primer safe inside the home?
Yes. Most magnetic primer products are water-based with standard VOC levels. They're safe for interior use with normal ventilation.
Magnetic Paint Application across Charleston
Charleston's humid subtropical climate, salt air and active storm season are tough on homes — swollen doors, rusting hardware, mildew-prone caulk and storm-loosened trim are all common. Downtown's historic houses add original plaster walls and tight, detailed millwork, while West Ashley and the islands bring newer builds with their own quirks. Our pros are comfortable with both.
