FAQs
Do I need to apply primer before applying whiteboard paint?
A primer helps give a surface a smooth finish and acts to 'seal' a surface.
This means that when you apply Smart Whiteboard Paint on a surface that has been primed, your whiteboard paint will stay on the wall instead of being absorbed into the surface.
Using a water based primer like Smart White Primer means you will get a smoother surface with optimum write-on-wipe-off functionality.
Can I apply Whiteboard Paint to any surface?
Apply Smart Whiteboard Paint to almost any smooth surface (glass, metal, concrete, wood, etc.).
When applying Smart Wall Paint in White to any surface it is essential to prime the surface first.
Then simply apply your single coat of whiteboard paint.
