Troubleshooting
Paint appears streaky upon application
Apply a second thin coat once the first is dry to build up opacity without overloading the fabric with pigment.
Paint bleeding through fabric

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure your fabric is clean and free of any laundry softeners, as these can interfere with paint adhesion. Pre-wash your item without softener if possible. Apply the paint using a brush or sponge, allowing each layer to dry completely before adding more for depth. While heat setting is not required, wait 48 to 72 hours before the first wash to ensure the paint has fully cured. When washing, turn the garment inside out and use a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid using heavy-duty bleaches or industrial dry cleaning services to maintain the integrity of the metallic finish.
