(and lusting over it for months :-))
I’m nervous about the striping, and when I was inspecting the pictures, I noticed that the taping in the photo that is right below the close up photo with the 3 on it, the blue tape is going at an opposite diagonal? But the finished project has all the stripes going in the same direction? Am I crazy?

Hey JT! I usually use magnetic primer. I have never had a need for magnetic paint, so I’m not sure how that would turn out. I’m sorry I’m probably not much help! magnetic primer, if you’re going to cover it with chalkboard paint, would definitely do the trick!

Im wondering if you have ever used magnetic paint in conjunction with the chalkboard paint, and if so, how did it work out? I want to do a door in both, but Im worried about the weight of the magnetic paint. Any advice? Thank you.

Hey Amanda. I am in the process of writing a DIY on this letter. I did do it, as an original work.
