magnetic paint

A recent Letter to the Editor in Motorhome magazine addresses the use of magnetic paint in RVs. I have an Isata Touring Sedan with a metal sheet covering a wooden wall above the gas burner stove. My wife wants me to look into the use of magnetic paint cover this sheet so we can hang things like cup hooks and towel holders on it. It will not hold magnets now.

Does anyone have experience with the new so-called magnetic paint?

Thank you

This would be harmless for you to use and will not interfere with computers, electronic equipment as a previous post suggests. Obviously that poster is not aware of this product.
This paint DOES NOT have its own magnetic properties.
It is a liquid METAL that magnets will stick to.

HAVE FUN!

I'm not sure I'd trust any 'paint' to provide sufficient strenth to reliably hold 'cup hooks' or 'towel racks'. How about screwing a sheet of real ferrous material to that non-ferrous panel?

As a fulltimer, I doubt very much that cups held up by magnets would stay in place during travel, no matter what you have to put the magnets on. We find that even potholders will slowly slide down the metal when traveling. I would suggest the "Command" hooks from 3M company. Those will stick to the RV and hold very well, yet release when you wish.
