White Board Paint

[Pappy]

I have an idea for a couple of messagfe boards for Christmas that will include a whiteboard, a cork bulletin board, and a small storage drawer for supplies. I was in Lowe's a couple of day ago looking for small white boards and was told they didn't have them but did have a paint to make your own, similar to the stuff for blackboards.

Anyone tried it? Does it work? Would I be better off buying ready made boards and cutting them to size?

I took a couple of Sun Microsystems classes last year, the classrooms front walls were painted with that stuff. I asked the instructor who is full time staff at the center. He said they painted the walls 3 years previously, and haven't had to touch up yet. Seems to hold up better under hard daily use than regular white boards...
