My kids have sticker books designed to hold a sticker but make it easy to remove and stick somewhere else. I want a place to store and display my stickers, but I want the option to pull them off the wall and use them later. What paint would I use to make a wall that does that?

  • Contact paper might work instead of paint, and it would be a lot easier to test than paint. 

  • At work we painted the walls of our meeting rooms with a white board paint. It made a very hard smooth glossy finish that let dry erase markers be used directly on the wall. I’d be curious if that might work to let stickers come back off with minimal effort. You might be able to buy a sample size of it and try it out before committing to a whole room.

  • Sherwin Williams “The Look” oil modified interior gloss will do the job

  • I can't think of any paints that will have that non-adhesive property to them.

    Personally I will put the sticker up on the wall with a little double-sided tape without actually using the sticker (putting the tape on the back of the paper the sticker is on, not the sticker itself) because I get crazy anxiety about using stickers and this has worked well. Usually a little square of tape keeps it up really easily, and never damaged the paint.

    Alternatively, you could hang rolls of wax paper, like a tapestry, to put your stickers on. That's pretty much what those sticker books are.

  • Try white board paint .. then they can have fun with the stickers and white board markers

  • You can buy rolls of whiteboard cling sheet that will stick to a wall. Much easier than painting if you aren’t set on doing that. 

  • I don't know how many stickers you have, but I'd buy something like a sheet of pvc or melamine and if I was feeling fancy, frame it out with trim. Maybe $30 bucks in materials?

    I've been painting professionally for 35 years. Don't put stickers on drywall walls. Do something like this instead.

    If you do something like whiteboard paint directly onto wallboard, you will have to deal with texture differences that will telegraph thru when you inevitably repaint, and unless you are skilled with skimming walls, you will regret it
