Is there any material anyone knows of that is thin and durable like dibond, but is made of metal instead of aluminum so that a magnet will stick to it?
Any help would be appreciated. I "need" this material if there is such a thing!
Thanks T

We have used sheets of the metal they use to make heating ductwork out of - though you do need to paint or cover in vinyl. Nowhere near as rigid as Dibond, though.

I can buy steel in 4x8 or 4x10 sheets at my local metal suppplier.
Maybe you have someone like this that is close.

magnetic paint is also available, some with the magnetic finely ground and put in the paint so you could hang a piece of paper with a bottle cap, and some with iron filings in the paint so you would need a magnet to hang things. Either way you can paint whtever you want and use it for a magnet board, forget the substrate, just paint the wall!

We have a project that needs exactly what you are explaining, Pete. We have to do an interior donor wall display with a few hundred donor names that the clients want magnetic; so they can move them around. Vehicle magnetic sheeting can be laser lettered (we did a sample). We just need it to stick to an HDU panel. i was going to attach a panel if steel to the surface of the HDU on the donor spots, but magnetic paint sounds much better! Could you please find me a name or do you carry it?
