I was asked by a company to use and review some of Rust-Oleum's Dry Erase Paint. The issue for my was not where to put it, but having to cover my pinky-purple chalkboard wall first. (I will have a look for pictures later).
Off the Haymes paints I go, I tell the chap in store what it is I'm going t do and he mixes me up a can of 3-in-1 primer in grey. I didn't have the paint before I brought the primer so I thought as the sales guys was a paint expert he would know what I needed..... I was wrong. The box of the Rust-Oleum Dry Erase Paint says to cover any previously painted surfaces in a white latex primer (which I didn't read until this morning long after 3 coats of grey were on the walls and I was ready to paint the dry erase paint). Oh well, never mind.
5 coats of Rust-Oleum Dry Erase Paint later and I have to say after almost crying because I thought the wall wouldn't work it is looking fabulous.
My only advice to Rust-Oleum is to tell people to apply the paint in long stripes vertically as the first few coats I did in sections like you would normally paint the wall and I can see the overlaps through the additional coats. Other than that, my wall is looking fantastic. Even with the grey primer undercoat.
I LOVE IT.

I am however still considering a 6th and final coat, and getting some timber to paint and use as a border around my new Rust-Oleum Dry Erase Paint wall.
