This product works like it says it does, except that I found it really hard to get a thin coat of paint over it and have a smooth surface. By the time I got a smooth surface, which included a lot of sanding, I had gone through about four coats of paint. The extra paint weakened the strength of the magnetic paint and weaker magnets were no longer usable on the surface.

I purchased 2 cans to cover a wall and both were lumpy and very difficult to stir. We stirred for 15 to 20 minutes trying to get the lumps out then decided it must be the way the paint was supposed to be. We put it on the wall and it was terrible - the texture was almost like stucco on the outside of our house. The little sponge in the box was difficult to use and created streaks in the paint.
After it dried, we sanded it all off and bought magnetic primer at Home Depot. It was smooth and easy to mix, and half the price of this product.
It is possible that we got a bad shipment, but we followed the instructions on the label. If you purchase this and it doesn't mix well and is lumpy, send it back - if it mixes up smooth, then you got a good batch.
