Magnetic Paint Rec

I found an entertainment unit on Craig's List (pic attached) that we're buying for $50 to turn into a play kitchen for the girls' 2nd birthday. Something along these lines:

I want to paint the fridge with magnetic paint so we can put alphabet magnets on it, but I'm reading mixed reviews on the products available. Does anyone have experience or recommendations for a specific brand?

Thanks!

I used Rust-o-leum Magnetic Primer.

Some notes: this stuff is NASTY. Make sure you are in a well ventilated place when you're using it. Also, it says 2-3 coats, but I ended up using more like 6 or 7 to get the right magnetic pull.

The cool thing is that you can paint anything over it and make it look how you want. GL!

Thanks! We have plenty of time before their birthday, so it can off gas in the garage for quite a while if need be. (And I'll paint it outside as well.)
