FAQs
Can I use this paint on fabric?
Yes, this paint can adhere to fabric. For items that will be washed, it's recommended to heat-set the paint according to fabric instructions and use a fabric sealant for durability.
Do I need a primer before using this paint?
For most surfaces like wood, raw canvas, or primed materials, no primer is needed. However, for very slick surfaces like some plastics or glass, a light sanding or a specific multi-surface primer is recommended for best adhesion.
How long does the paint take to dry?
The paint typically dries to the touch within 30-60 minutes. Recoating is usually possible after 1-2 hours. Full curing takes 24-72 hours, depending on environmental conditions and coat thickness.
Is this paint suitable for outdoor use?
While the paint adheres well and creates a durable finish, it is recommended to seal it with a suitable outdoor varnish or sealant for prolonged exposure to weather elements to ensure longevity.
How do I clean up paint spills?
Clean up spills and tools immediately with soap and water while the paint is still wet. Once dry, the paint is much harder to remove.
Can I mix this black paint with other colors?
Yes, this is a hybrid acrylic paint and can be mixed with other Cadence Hybrid Acrylic Paints or most water-based acrylic paints to create custom shades.
What is the shelf life of this paint?
When stored properly in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed, the paint typically has a shelf life of 2-3 years.
Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick or stringy
Gently shake the bottle. If still thick, add a very small amount of water (a drop or two) and mix thoroughly. Avoid adding too much water, as this can compromise adhesion.
Poor adhesion or peeling paint
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and dried before application. For slick surfaces, consider light sanding or using a specialized primer. Apply paint in thin, even coats.
Uneven finish or brush marks
Apply paint in thin, even coats using a good quality brush or roller. Avoid over-brushing. Allow adequate drying time between coats. A final coat applied with a soft sponge or roller can help smooth the finish.
Paint is not drying
Check environmental conditions. High humidity or low temperatures can significantly slow drying times. Ensure adequate ventilation. Avoid applying excessively thick coats.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: Ensure the surface you intend to paint is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or old finishes. For very slick surfaces like glass or some plastics, a light sanding with fine-grit sandpaper or a primer specifically designed for difficult surfaces may improve adhesion. Shake the paint bottle gently before use.
Compatibility: This paint is compatible with most acrylic mediums, varnishes, and sealants. It can be mixed with other Cadence Hybrid Acrylic Paints. It adheres well to wood, MDF, metal, plastic, glass, ceramic, terracotta, stone, and primed canvas.
Care: Clean brushes, rollers, and tools immediately after use with soap and water. Once the paint is fully cured (typically 24-72 hours after the final coat), it can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these may damage the finish. Store the paint in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and freezing temperatures.
