I bought one of these kits for my office, applied it as directed, and waited 2 days before marking on it. The mark wouldn't come off. After reading others' experiences, here and elsewhere, I started to get really nervous. It wasn't until I called the Rustoleum helpdesk that I found out what the problem was--the kit was old.
These Dry-Erase kits have a shelf-life of 2 years. Anything over that, and the paint won't mix properly. There's no way to check the date on the box, but there's a code on the bottom of the cans that can help you figure out how long your kit has been on the shelf. (The cans are stamped with a code that begins with a letter and a number; the number corresponds with the year in which it was packaged. For example, T9 or P0 would be 2009 and 2010 respectively.) For this reason, I wouldn't recommend buying this product online. Find it in a store and check the cans.
Another way to tell if the paint is old is to check its consistency. This is an epoxy, so it won't be as smooth as a latex-based paint. However, your paint stick should go through to the bottom cleanly. If there's an inch of gunk at the bottom, it's been sitting around a long, long time.
If you've gotten an old kit (and still have your receipt), you can contact Rustoleum (800-323-3584) for a hassle-free full refund. You can also remove the paint by using an epoxy stripper like Jasco Spray Paint Remover or Peel Away.
Now, for the good news. These kits--if you can find one that isn't archaic--work remarkably well. I managed to find a kit with a T0 stamp on it, applied it directly on top of the old kit, and it works wonderfully. I have noticed some colors don't erase as clean as others--red and green give me some grief, and the low-odor Expo markers don't work as well as the regular ones--but that's nothing I didn't experience with my old dry-erase board, and a few squirts of dry erase cleaner takes off 90% of any remaining 'shadows'.

This product is a fantastic idea. We have a section of wall under a kitchen counter about 4 by 5 feet that seemed like a great space for the kids to use for drawing. I considered a chalkboard paint, but figured that would result in chalk dust all over the floor. Dry erase seemed like a much better idea, but it doesn't work quite as well as I'd like.
First of all, it says it goes on just like regular paint, but it is very runny. It's like painting with whole milk. It recommends at least two coats and after seeing how thin it is I wanted to do as many as possible. The directions say to wait twenty minutes between coats and not to use it after it's been mixed for more than two hours. It took so long to do each coat that I barely managed to get four done. You are supposed to wait at least two days before writing on it. We waited almost four, but the marks did not come clean at all. It didn't erase at all with a dry eraser and only faded when I scrubbed it with a wet wipe.
After about a month, I still really liked the idea of a dry erase wall, but the kids' artwork was getting harder to make out with various layers still visible. I decided to buy another box and add more coats. I believe I got on at least four more and we waited another several days. We've been using the surface for a few weeks now and it is working pretty well, finally. It still doesn't erase quite as cleanly as the picture on the box would have you believe, but it's not bad if you're not picky.

This stuff is awesome! At first it was very runny trying to paint with it, until I realized I was using the wrong type of roller. MAKE SURE YOU USE THE TYPE OF ROLLER IT SAYS TO USE ON THE BOX!!! (I forgot which kind it says to use) If you try to use the wrong roller, it will go on runny, thin, and not at all consistent. I did the first two coats like that and it looked horrible. Then I did a couple more coats with the right type of roller and it painted on perfectly!
I used a magnetic primer underneath this, so now I have a magnetic white board! (see my magnetic paint review) I actually did this in our basement, underneath the stairs (that most people use as a little toy room area). I used three boxes of this paint for that whole area. However, I know two would have been fine if I had used the right brush at first.
I have had this finished for about 6 months now, and it still looks and works great. If it starts to look clouded up with markers (like all whiteboards do), I just use whiteboard spray cleaner and a paper towel on it. My kids, and all of the kids that come to our house LOVE drawing on our "walls."

Dont know what people dont like
Sand the walls. Use a foam roller. Wait two days for it to dry. Presto, you seriously have a HUGE dry erase board for about a tenth of the cost. Read more

I'd give it a 1/4 star, if it was possible
Bottom line, I got my money back. I used the magnetic paint under the white-out. Which, after reading some of these reviews- it makes sense NOW. Read more

Using daily for 12 months. The Expo cleaner is the secret.

Forget the negative reviews, this stuff really works!
After reading the wide range of reviews on this product, I was very hesitant to try it out. Ultimately I decided to gamble and go for it, and it ended up being a great decision. Read more
