Rust-Oleum has introduced its Professional Dry Erase Paint as an alternative to prefabricated dry erase boards.

Rust-Oleum Professional Dry Erase Paint creates a writeable, erasable surface on walls in conference rooms, offices, classrooms, dorm rooms, lobbies or anywhere a dry erase surface is desired. The two-part water-based urethane coating can also be used to convert existing chalkboards or dry erase boards to new dry erase surfaces, making it an alternative to replacement.

“Rust-Oleum Professional Dry Erase was formulated specifically for the professional,” said Jenny Thavenet, associate brand manager. “The high gloss finish provides easy erasability, excellent chemical resistance and great adhesion at a fraction of the cost of purchasing dry erase boards or competitive dry erase paints. All important features for commercial, institutional or educational environments.”

Professional Dry Erase Paint is available in traditional white and an industry exclusive clear formula that can be applied over any color topcoat for endless color options. The non-yellowing, low VOC formula offers easy mixing and smooth, easy to roll application, the company says. It is packaged in a gallon kit that contains a water-based hydroxy acrylic base, activator, two roller covers and an instruction sheet. One kit covers up to 200 square feet, making it ideal for larger commercial projects.
