Zinsser Write-On Paint® is a two-pack white coating that transforms interior walls into fully functional dry wipe surfaces. Designed for professional environments, it’s ideal for turning ordinary plasterboard, wood, cement or metal walls into creative spaces for brainstorming, teaching or planning.

Perfect for schools, offices and universities, this kit provides everything you need for a single-coat application that covers up to 30m².
