Attn. Coworkers: I'm wondering if anyone here has any experience with IdeaPaint or Rustoleum White board paint. I have 2 isolated back offices which will be additional free space for coworkers when my facility The Business Corners opens in June. I plan on covering at least one wall with a whiteboard. If I use a paint solution then 3 walls (one floor to ceiling) would probably be covered in each office. I'm wondering the pros and cons of each solution. (ease of erasing/ghosting, size, price, install/prep work, multi-use as a projection surface, etc) I checked internet prices for a 6' high by 12' whiteboard and it would run me close to a thousand + tax for each. (and it is 3 panels so I'm not sure how seamless it would appear) Ideapaint seems to be significantly more expensive then Rustoleum so anyone with experience with either one please let me know your experience. Thanks for your help. Sincerely, John Scheine Executive Director The Business Corners [www.thebusinesscorners.com](http://www.thebusinesscorners.com) ---

We use bathroom board from Home Depot or the like Works great. Just use a good cleaner once in a while and it always goes back to white!

Check out white melamine board at your local home center. While technically not designed for a whiteboard application, we used it in our training room on two walls (about 10 sheets worth, but they were like $10 a sheet). We had a bit of problem with the dry erase marker not always coming off, but we could use an alcohol/water mix to get it off. I figured that compared to the "official" whiteboard options we could just replace the walls from time to time, but never really needed to.

Second that. They cost about $13 each and we framed ours with rough cedar boards that cost $6. I’ve heard them called “Shower Board” too and folks often can’t find them at Home Depot because they go to the lumber section. Go back to where they have wainscoting and make stuff for shower enclosures.

So would you just use the shower board or apply the whiteboard paint on top of that?

Shower board works fine all by itself. It does get dingy with lots of use and more so if you use harsh cleaners like windex or clorox. We make a point to erase them every day and this helps.

Hi all, We opted for ideapaint in our main conference room at Two Rivers. about $200 for the 50 sq ft. box. We painted one conference room. the key is to sand the walls thoroughly. will look into the clear board for the other conference room. thanks for the ideas all!

Replying via Web just in case: John: I bought 9 cans of Rustoleum Whiteboard and 9 of the Magnetic one via Amazon... they should be here on Monday (I'm in Panama, so imagine). We had one can of each and last night started painting a corner of the future whiteboard... I will let you know on Sunday how it went. Ideapaint looks really great, at least on their site and YouTube channel, but it's really expensive. I read a couple of reviews about Rustoleum: if the surface isn't flat enough, it doesn't work so well... so we did some gysum (dry wall?) and then applied the magnetic one. I'll get back to you with more info... and pictures! H ---

We used Ideapaint for 100 square feet. The wall needs to be perfectly smooth, then if you use the primer they recommend you need to sand again. It works great and people love it. (pic #2 - [http://indieballard.com](http://indieballard.com)) ---

We just did 150 sq ft in IdeaPaint. Love it! It was a bit expensive but in evaluating the other options, this gave us what we were looking for.

Thank you all for your valuable input. I'm leaning towards whiteboard paint as a whole wall solution but will probably also try the lexan in another room. (might put a background color behind it so the markers show up better.) I'll post pictures once I make a decesion, thanks again I appreciate the help. > **···** > > On Apr 14, 12:34 pm, "J.

At Workantile, we have shifted to old-fashioned chalkboards. They are relatively inexpensive, chalk is relatively inexpensive, and they are easier to clean. If you leave dry erase marker on a whiteboard for a long period of time, it can get difficult to erase. That is never an issue with chalk. > **···** > > On Mon, Aug 11, 2014 at 7:40 AM, Angel Kwiatkowski [fccow...@gmail.com](mailto:fccow...@gmail.com) wrote: > > > Reviving this old thread as I take the Cohere blog back to the basics.
