Your living room can display original works of art, and you don’t have to be rich. If you are looking for wall painting ideas, consider that your original art can be as up-to-date as today—and all yours—or your children’s—or your friends’. An affordable whiteboard paint called Create Paint has been developed by Scorpion Protective Coatings, Inc. The formula was discovered almost by accident. Your walls, fresh with lively works of art, won’t be.

My living room? You wonder. Sure. It is where you spend time with your family and guests. What could be more fun than filling that room with fresh art, surrounding yourself with your creativity? Since it is natural for children to draw on walls, why not allow them to explore their creativity and decorate your home at the same time?

What Is Create Paint?

Scorpion Coatings, the premier truck bed liner and protective-coating company for nearly two decades, has developed a writable and erasable coating for walls that is non-porous and resists the absorption of inks. The easy-to-use, do-it-yourself whiteboard paint, known as “Create Paint,” can be applied anywhere and used in all the ways your imagination roams. Like the older, expensive whiteboard paints, Create Paint can be written or drawn on with dry erase markers, then wiped clean with an eraser when artists wish to create another “masterpiece.”

Create Paint was discovered during the research and development of another product, and its value was immediately recognized as it could be produced cheaper than the whiteboard paints already on the market. Eventually, high-volume dealers will distribute the product, but, at the moment, consumers can purchase it online.

Original Art For Your Living Room

When considering wall painting ideas, naturally you will decide whether you will apply Create Paint to all four walls (and perhaps the ceiling) or will just one or two be designated as “galleries” and wallpaper or paint be used on the other spaces? It’s your space. Create!

If you decide to have a children’s wall, why not frame their finest work? The frames can be placed on the walls around drawings you wish to save for awhile. Some masterpieces may require you to purchase the elements and build a five-, six- or seven-sided frame. Imagine a wall decorated with unusual frames around simple, colorful children’s drawings. What fun!

Perhaps your wall painting ideas include a mural. If you are a landlubber who longs for the beach, draw a tropical scene on one wall. Perhaps your heart yearns for the mountains or a country lane beneath arching autumn-colored trees. Your own art can take you there.

You are no artist? Then have a paint party. Invite your friends, and have fun decorating your living space. Play a wild and fun game of Pictionary. You are limited only by your imagination.

Perhaps you have trouble getting out of the house in the mornings with everything you need for the day. Then apply Create Paint in an area beside the door. You can design a calendar for each day or just jot reminders on the wall above the table where you leave your briefcase, purse, library books, lunch bag and backpack. Your dog may actually get to the groomer’s on the day of his appointment. Little Susie’s ballet clothes, Frankie’s music books and Sam’s ball glove might all get out the door with you – the first time.

The easy-to-apply and affordable Create Paint can make your living room more vibrant and fun, as well as ease some stress in your life as you hurry from your haven into your hectic schedule.

A dry erase board is a great way to make use of available space to brainstorm plans, work out ideas, create important lists and present other information. Anything that needs to be erased is done with a simple wipe of a chalkboard-style dry erase eraser, and any kind of marker can be used. Better still, it is incredibly easy to make a dry erase board that can increase productivity while reducing paper and disposal costs. Dry erase board come in many types, shapes and sizes, and making one is a simple process.

Basic Necessities for a Clear Dry Erase Board

A clear dry erase board requires a relatively smooth surface. It does not have to be flat, but the viewing area should be easy to use and enhance the effectiveness of the clear dry erase board. A wall, board or similar surface will work well. So long as it is not textured it will be simple enough to write on it and erase anything that needs to be removed. The surface must be as non-porous as possible to prevent ink from settling into pores. If ink settles into pores, it is much more difficult and potentially impossible to remove.

Making a Clear Dry Erase Board

Making a dry erase board is relatively easy and is not labor-intensive. Prepping the board surface requires using 220-grit sandpaper affixed to a sanding block to smooth out the surface. Anything other than a sanding block or similar tool will create an uneven surface. Once done sanding the surface smooth, it needs to be cleaned of any dust and made as dry as possible. Because a clear paint is used, a graphic or mural that is smooth can be placed on the surface before adding the clear dry erase board paint.

Applying Clear Dry Erase Paint

Measuring the surface area to be painted will ensure the right amount of dry erase paint is used. The paint is sold in quantities sufficient to paint 31, 62 or 125 square feet. The paint comes in two parts that must be mixed and vigorously stirred or shaken for at least 90 seconds. Once mixed, the paint can be poured into a roller pan and applied with a roller brush. The clear dry erase board paint must dry for 72 hours to cure properly and ensure an impenetrable finish. Standard markers will work well with the dry erase board, and dry erase erasers will remove it by simply wiping the eraser across the content to be removed.

Advantages of a Clear Dry Erase Board

Unlike a white dry erase board, a clear dry erase board can be applied over graphics or murals and used on walls of differing colors. So long as the graphic, mural or paint is free of pores, the clear dry erase paint will work fine. The ability to use surfaces of different colors and with different backgrounds makes the clear dry erase paint a great option when wanting to use something other than a common white background.

Clear dry erase paint can be especially useful when applied inside a team locker room, for example, by allowing for team colors and logos underneath. A business’ trade colors and logo also might be left visible and made more useful. The background needs to enable to sufficient contrast from the ink to be used for it to be visible from a reasonable distance.

Are you looking for new ways to bring visual enhancements to your company’s success? Imagine you are working with a large-scale marketing company seeking out some big fish clients, and you somehow need to keep track of the progress.

It’s safe to say that nearly everyone who has raised at least one child—at one point or another—has dealt with the little one’s graffiti-like approach to random art work in places otherwise off limits.  Call it rebelliousness or just artistic expression, it’s inevitable.  However, keeping the artistic side of your little Rembrandt intact is important.

Imagine selecting an entire wall for the eager artist to create a full-size mural, snap a picture, and let them at it again.  Create Paint offers that option.  An area covered in our dry erase paint acts as a white board and is shielded against staining and permanent marks by generating a non-porous writable and easily erasable surface that fully resists the absorption of inks; forcing the ink to stay on top of the surface rather than penetrate the pores and remain as an ugly, long-term reminder, while the shield created by our paint makes for easy clean up just like a white board.

Create Paint is also ideal for those lively coaches in gym lockers demonstrating winning plays to the team before a big game, or in the kitchen for a quick reminder that milk and eggs are running low written next to a list of missed calls.

Do away with those white boards at the office that seem to get in the way during your meetings and coat a wall with Create Paint instead.  These suggestions are but a small example of where and how our dry erase paint can make life a little bit easier and a little more fun.

Create Paint is created not only to provide a convenient writing surface that is kept looking clean and reusable, but it’s easy to apply.  Simply prep the area by lightly sanding the surface, combine the mixtures provided, and roll on evenly.  Within a few days the white board-like surface is ready for use.  And much like a regular white board, clean up is as easy as using a dry erase eraser.  And after extensive use, though residue may build, it’s easily removed using a simple cleaning solution.

Create Paint comes in two variations:  White and also clear for those areas you’d like to maintain color yet treat like a blank canvas.  With Create Paint there’s no more need for a white board and no more mess.
