Can Magically Magnetic Additive be mixed with regular latex finish paint?
We urge people to not use leftover finish paint or even new finish paint to mix with our magnetic additive. Latex or oil based, primer/sealer stain blocker paints are different than ordinary finish paint. There is always a possibility that an ordinary finish latex paint will not perform as you want completely. I would always suggest trying a little in some hidden area just to make sure. You can’t be too careful. Finish paints are also much thinner than primer paints and aside from not holding the magnetic particles in suspension as long as primer paints, they are not formulated to stick as well to what is on the wall as primer paints. Primer/stain blocker paints are also meant to cover any stains on the wall and keep them from bleeding through to spoil the job. Finish paints are more expensive than primers. At least two coats of the magnetic paint are necessary. Why waste money using finish paint to make your magnetic paint?
