What metal do you use to make a magnetic dry-erase board?

My daughter wants to panel one of the walls of her room with a sheet of metal that she can put magnets on and write across with dry-erase markers. What kind of metal should I use? It needs to be magnetic and the color of steel (silver). I've heard you need to use Galvanized steel, but I wasn't sure. Also, do you know where I could buy a sheet of the metal, not in bulk?

    is where you need to look for this. I looked it up with the question you asked. Good luck and never be afraid to ask anything to make your day a little brighter. Donna


  2. If you can't find what you're looking for to make her a dry-erase you could always use the magnetic paint under chalkboard paint. They have cool colors of chalkboard paint now at Home Depot. Even hot pink.
