Kwikrez AcryliKote

Residential and commercial acrylic coating for walls and floors
Kwikrez AcryliKote is an option for one of the first steps in the magnetic flooring or wall system installation process. This is a magnetically receptive coating, in essence a metal surface for the magnet to attract to after it is installed. Kwikrez AcryliKote is an acrylic based primer which can be used on new drywall as a primer, and it can also be used on existing painted walls. Kwikrez AcryliKote can also be rolled out on a floor to serve as a receptive base for magnetic flooring. Its ease of application makes it an ideal residential coating for the average DIYer, or really anyone who wants to pick up a paint roller and paint their walls and floors. However, its durability makes it a robust coating suitable in use for commercial applications.
