WhiteyPaint

Feeling useless?

The folks over at WhiteyBoard seem to have a solution: WhiteyPaint. As WhiteyPaint’s motto so clearly points out, “you’re useless without it.” While the verdict’s still out on that one, it does seem like a pretty nifty little product. It’s basically a quick-drying translucent paint that you can write on with whiteboard markers, and according to the maker, it erases well too.

WhiteyPaint can be used both indoors and outdoors, and on just about any surface you can find. Rather than laying a patch of white down over your wall paper or wooden table, WhiteyPaint will simply leave a glossy finish to those surfaces, ready to write on in just half a day. Most other paint solutions take about three days, while WhiteyPaint is ready to go in 12 hours, after just three coats.

30 square feet of paint will get set you back $75, but that’s basically a steal compared with competing products. The white board paint from WhiteyBoard is available now.
