Can Magically Magnetic Additive be mixed with latex primer paint?
The answer to this question is a qualified yes. Originally, we intended that our Magically Magnetic Paint Additive only to be mixed with oil-based primer/sealer paint. We did this because we knew that oil based paints were the thickest, the strongest and gave the best protection to the magnetic particles in the additive. We still advise that if it is at all possible to use an oil based white, primer/sealer, stain blocker paint as your base, it is your best choice. So many of our customers asked for a magnetic paint that could be made with a latex primer paint base that we reformulated our additive to accept either oil based paints or new latex paints. Latex primer paints aren’t as thick as oil-based primer paints and may need to be stirred a little more often to keep the magnetic particles in suspension, but the fact that they clean up easily with soap and water is a definite plus. Some states no longer allow the use of oil-based paints. In these states, latex paints are the only choic
