I put primer on the wooden board and then painted it with 1 litre magnetic paint.

Note from the supermagnete team:
The magnetic paint used in this project is dark grey. The magnetic paint we have been selling in our online shop since the end of 2016 is light grey and would look very different in this frame. For a darker hue, you could paint over the magnetic paint with black chalkboard paint. Then you could even write on the surface with chalk.
