Smark!® is a clear dry erase paint that goes on quickly and adheres to most surfaces and materials, such as drywall, concrete, glass, tile and steel, creating a whiteboard surface. It’s easy to apply and low-odor. Smark!® also protects from the sun’s harmful UV rays, preventing coated surfaces from fading, chalking or yellowing. Get Smarking today!
How To Apply Smark
1. Surface Preparation
Prior to application, the surface should be clean, dry and free from dirt, stains and other contaminants. Smark!® will only be as smooth as the surface you apply it to. Repair any wall divots, holes, scratches, or bumps with spackle or joint compound. If the wall is textured, sand it smooth. Prior to applying Smark!®, be sure to prime or paint any repaired area. Clearly define and tape off the area to be Smarked with blue painter’s tape. DO NOT attempt to stretch product beyond square footage listed on the box.
2. Mixing
Pour all of the Pour Me (Activator) can contents into the Fill Me (Base) can and stir thoroughly for two minutes. Mix thoroughly with enclosed mixing stick.
Once the material is mixed you will have approximately 45 minutes to apply Smark!® . Temperatures above 85°F (30°C) and 75% relative humidity will shorten working time.
3. Application
Smark!® can be rolled or brushed. Rolling: Use the enclosed 3/16” nap, woven, shed-resistant roller cover. Brushing: Use a high-quality synthetic bristle brush. Avoid Smark!® making contact with skin. Wear protective gloves, clothing and safety glasses. Refer to SDS within smarkpaint.com for more info.
- Pour mixed contents into a paint tray.
- Wet your roller completely in the paint tray. Saturate the cover but avoid overloading it.
- Roll the entire area to be coated; using an up and down motion, start in the far corner rolling straight downward and then upward making a W. Avoid overloading the roller or rolling too fast.
- Back roll using the W motion. Look for sags (runs) and roller marks; lightly roll over these areas to blend coating.
- Repeat this process until your entire surface is coated.
- Avoid “over-working” or “touching up” an area. This can cause the coating to become too thin over the surface.

Ready for marking in 7 days! While other dry-erase paints can take some time to set up, with Smark!, you’ll be marking away in no time.
5. Surface Cleaning
Dry erase ink can sometimes be difficult to erase, especially when left on a surface for a long period of time. Clean these spots with any standard dry erase spray cleaner. A damp microfiber cloth and water can also be used. Red and pink dry erase markers typically require dry erase spray cleaners for complete removal.
