Who hasn't had the occasional urge to write a great idea or comment on the walls of your house or a museum?
IdeaPaint can turn virtually anything you can paint into a high-performance dry-erase surface.
As you can see on the IdeaPaint website there are a variety of colors available to create dry-erase areas, as well as two paint formulations: an "industrial" solvent-based version called PRO that is backed by a 10-year warranty, and a "consumer" version called CRE-8 that comes as a water-based material.
IdeaPaint seems like a great way to loosen up meeting spaces and kids' rooms. I'm just waiting for a museum to paint their entire building (inside and out!) with the stuff to collect visitor feedback on everything from the doorknobs to the exhibits inside!

When we moved into our current building, the previous owners had painted many of the metal doors in their engineering and assembly spaces with white solvent-based paints and used them all as white boards. In some situations, that might be a suitable alternative. Our local lumberyards stock something they call "marker boards" which are 4 by 8 sheets of white boards. These are about $32/sheet. I'm considering them for paneling in our new exhibit shop.
