Review: I did my research prior purchasing this product. I originally thought of going for a magnetic plaster to cover a whole wall, but after careful consideration I realised it would be much too expensive and complicated for its added value. So I decided to go for magnetic paint instead, several brands are available but MagPaint had the highest rating. I didn't go for the combination paint magnetic+white board as you will loose its efficiency (it's like going for a washing machine that does also tumble dryer). My application was in a kitchen for displaying family photos, I then realised you only really need a small coverage, just needs to be to the eye level. The wall in question is 1.6m wide which fitted with one of the reviews, so to make sure to get a powerful enough wall to attract standard magnets, I also used 0.4m high. I first covered my area with masking tape just to have clean edges, the recommended number of coating is 3 layers, but instead used only 2 thicker ones leaving to dry for 4 hours in between an using a trowel to smoothen the surface. You add painting over (after 24h), however the smooth black finish actually gives a very good contrast to pictures. Result of this is no need to use neodymium magnets, I was worrying to go for these very small ones that children could swallow... Don't buy very cheap ones though. Standard staples ones did the job for me. Last advice, just make sure to stir very well to have all the ferro materials homogeneously dispersed otherwise I'd suspect you would get patches where your magnets work and some others where they don't...

Review: It does work as magnet paint but has left the wall looking lumpy and odd. Getting it onto the wall was painstakingly slow to even attempt to keep the look smooth and even with all the patience and care in the word it still came out looking pretty poor.
