If you aren't able to paint a wall, you can grab a 8' x 4' sheet of Melamine from Home Depot (or similar), which works quite well as a whiteboard. It isn't as robust as the expensive whiteboards, but can be replaced as-needed since it's so cheap.
- billswift 17y agoA four-by-eight sheet of formica is a lot cheaper than that "paint" too ($3.99 per square foot??). For that matter you can often find whiteboards on sale for less than that paint.
- tptacek 17y agoNot surprising, since the paint is better than an actual whiteboard: it fits arbitrary, irregularly-shaped spaces, and doesn't itself take up space.

- gojomo 17y agoThe thin panels from home depot are cheap -- ~$12 last I checked -- but don't erase nearly as well as a high-quality whiteboard surface, especially if you leave writing up for a while. So if you're propping whiteboards against the wall of your flophouse while you hack, they're great. If you want something for permanent installation, you get what you pay for.
