Can this magnet be painted? I need it to hold open RV cargo doors that are 14" x 25" in size.

I put electrical tape over them, which has worked great. Not sure about painting. Put the tape on them to help prevent shattering. This has nothing to do with poor manufacture, its just a property of neodymium magnets -- amazingly strong, but they chip very easily.

Not sure I would use this. Not because it wouldn't hold the hooks but because it would probably ruin the door finish when you tried to remove it. I have a metal entry and use large magnetic hooks on it. On my interior doors I use the large 3M removable hooks, both work very well.

It really depends on how many coats you put on and how many coats you cover it with. the types dont matter as much (rare earth is probably the best though) as long as you get bigger magnets. I applied 2 thick coats of this before covering it with 2 thin coats of chalkboard paint and every magnet i have sticks to it. the really tiny ones though (1/8" square magnets) struggle to hold things on but everything else is fine.

I would say no. The magnetic paint is fairly weak. It worked well as the top layer (would hold 2-3 pieces of paper with a friggie magnet), but when I painted dry erase paint over it, the magnets would slide down the board. I did not have very good luck at all.

If I were you, I'd simply use double-sided foam tape. Command strips would have to be used side-ways but you could use them. Use several per magnetic item. Item is wood and about 3/4" thick by almost 2" wide. Give it a try.

You can screw a piece of steel strip onto the bottom of a shelf in your workshop and stick the magnets there. I haven't tried it, but I suspect that the magnets are powerful enough so that you could store the whole thing "upside down" and that the magnets would hold the plastic carrier on to the bottom of the shelf.

I'm afraid it depends on the strength of the magnet. A decent magnet should.

Neodymium magnets will definitely hold. The question is whether magnetic paint has enough magnetic material for the magnets to stick to. It may take several coats of paint to provide enough magnetic content.

You can buy magnet 'tape' which has a peel-off side that allows you to stick it to something in order to hang something on metal (you could use glue if that's not strong enough). Just search " magnet tape " here on Amazon. Hope that helps.

My opinion is that it would be marginal... You might be better off to use a magnetic sheet of steel, and paint it with White Board paint (i've never used that though, just seen it advertised).

I did not try, but I think it is a good idea. It should work, since the paint will probably not disturb/change, e.g. the thickness of the material. Good luck!

It wouldn't stick to a glass oven door since it is a magnetic piece of stainless. It need a metal surface to stick too.

Never tried putting a magnet on it. I'm no metallurgist, but from the feel of it I would guess a magnet would not stick, but I honestly don't know.

No, this is more like a vinal sticker. If you stick it to a fridge you can put magnets over it but you must stick it to something magnetic. Hope that helped.

I would say it would hold it in place. These are very strong just make sure you have something under the magnet to keep it from scratching your paint.

Yes, But use very strong tape because the magnet is super strong and you will rip off your paint just by taking a knife off. I would just drill holes if it was me.

It's aluminum. Therefore it's not magnetic. It can be spray painted. Any paint that works on metal surface will also work.
