Yes, despite its high gloss nature, many customers use IdeaPaint as a projection surface. Short throw and tabletop projectors are recommended for best results. The best way to minimize glare and “hot spots” is to angle the projector in a way that diffracts the light away from the common line of sight. IdeaPaint will not crack or yellow over time from prolonged exposure to projection devices.

Definitely!  Use painter’s tape to outline the desired shape and size, then apply IdeaPaint within the taped space. Once you remove the tape, it will leave a clean border. IdeaPaint customers have painted borders using different colors in a variety of shapes, or even added a wood or metal border to really make their IdeaPaint space stand out. The possibilities are endless!

IdeaPaint is not recommended for outdoor use and has not been formally tested to serve as a suitable outside coating. Use of IdeaPaint on outdoor surfaces will void the warranty. However, if IdeaPaint is applied over a bicycle or similar item, store it in a location protected from the elements.

Most magnetic primers inherently have a rough profile making them less suitable as a primer for IdeaPaint. In addition, be aware, most magnetic primers need several coats to achieve a functioning magnetic surface. Time-saving and cost effective options are to apply IdeaPaint to a metallic substrate or to mount magnetic strips to an IdeaPaint surface.

For any dark color, IdeaPaint BRIGHT Markers are recommended and can be found in the accessories section. For additional colors EXPO Dry Erase Neon markers are also recommended.

IdeaPaint WRITE and most Expo-branded markers are recommended for use on IdeaPaint surfaces. Because new marker formulas are continuously available in the market, it is recommended to test the erasability of any ink in a small area before using on a larger IdeaPaint space.

IdeaPaint is a dry erase surface, so permanent markers should not be used. However, if a permanent marker is accidently used, try to remove with the following process:

1. Trace over the mark several times with an IdeaPaint WRITE or Expo Bold dry erase marker, completely covering the permanent marks with the dry erase marker.

2. Use a clean microfiber cloth and dry erase cleaner to remove.

ERASE: On a daily basis, erase IdeaPaint surfaces with IdeaPaint ERASE microfiber cloths or standard dry erase erasers. Erasers should be replaced and cloths should be washed on a regular basis.

CLEAN: Because marker ink solvents naturally build up and cause a residual film over time, it is recommended that the entire IdeaPaint surface be thoroughly cleaned every month. Use IdeaPaint CLEANER or any standard dry erase spray to restore and extend the life of the IdeaPaint surface.

DO NOT use non-dry erase cleaners, such as Windex or Clorox, on the IdeaPaint surface.

When dry erase ink has been on a surface for an extended period of time, some spots may harden and become more difficult to erase. To clean these spots, use IdeaPaint CLEANER or any standard dry erase spray, if neither is available dampen a microfiber cloth with water.
