Hey, No we don’t know of anything that you could cover it with that wouldn’t defeat the purpose of chalkboard paint. You can always simply repaint it later if it does wear down.

I painted my kitchen island top, and it gets wiped off multiple times a day, so i was wondering if i should put something on it to help it from wearing down?

I have been wanting to do this to an old freezer so the grandkids can doodle when they are here but have not been sure how it would work on the textured front of the freezer. Now I am going to try this! Thank you

Hi Tiye – I would recommend the primer so that the paint actually stays on the fridge – each fridge is different, but I wouldn’t paint it without the primer because it may scratch off easily. Hope that helps!

The first question mark was a typo lol.

Is a primer necessary? Also, which primer did you use? the fridge being magnetic is not a priority to me but would be nice (trying to keep the cost down.) Thanks

Hey Mandy! Yes, we used magnetic primer, and it helped! We have the how to linked above, if it helps you. We do recommend it, though! ;}

I think your fridge looks fab:))))
Just one question, if you paint in chalkboard paint, will it still be magnetic to hold all those kids pics/school newsletters/cuttings etc! I know you can buy a magnetic primer which is fairly expensive but would you need this?
We have the tiniest kitchen in the world and it would be great for lists and a makeshift family planner!
Thank you ***

Um, that’s a hard call for me to make from here. I’m sorry about that! I painted around the corners and stuff, but not around the seams or rubbery parts… if that makes sense. I hope that helps. ;} Sorry. If in doubt, and your fridge is dark, no one will see it, so I say leave it. ;} #bettersafethansorry

Howeve while taping off the frig a question came to mind no one has asked. Do I paint the part that the frigerator door hug up against when the frigerator door is closed. Hope I’ve explained clearly enough just didn’t wanna paint it then be stuck with afrig that won’t close now :o!
