Hardware STore

[redstripedsock.livejournal.com]

I'm going to the Hardware store soon and I wanted to make something crafty with magnetic paint. Do you think that I could get it there or do I have to go to a craft store? I really want to do a craft with items like pipe or something for the semi-industrial look. I dont' want it just for decoration though, I want to be able to make use of it. Please say anything that comes to mind!! Thanks!
