Whiteboard paint recommendations?

2 points by impendia ↗ HN
Surely I'm not the only one here geeky enough to want to buy a can of whiteboard paint, paint a wall of my house, and proceed to solve math problems there.

Looking online, the reviews are mixed and the prices are very high. Do any fellow HN readers have recommendations?

Thank you!

I literally was looking into this last week. I ended up deciding against it. If your walls are like most common walls, you'll notice it's not a smooth surface. That kills it for me. I instead went to Craigslist and found a used whiteboard instead. There were some 4ft by 6ft going for as low as $15 to $30. I ended up picking up a 4ft by 8ft for $70. If you decide to go the paint route, just consider the surface issue.
