FAQs

Is this paint safe for children's toys?

Yes, this acrylic enamel is specifically developed to be non-hazardous and is safe for use on children's toys.

How do I clean up paint spills or tools?

Clean up is easy with soap and water. Ensure you clean brushes, airbrushes, and any spills immediately after use while the paint is still wet.

Can I mix this black paint with other colors?

Absolutely. The Polyvine Acrylic Enamel paints are designed to be intermixable, allowing you to create a wide range of custom shades.

What surfaces can I use this paint on?

Is this paint suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, it is developed for both interior and exterior use, providing a tough and durable finish.

What is the coverage rate?

The coverage is approximately 10-20 square meters per liter, depending on the surface and application thickness.

Do I need a special primer?

For most compatible surfaces, a primer is not strictly necessary. However, for challenging surfaces or to ensure maximum adhesion and durability, a suitable primer can be beneficial.

Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well

Ensure the surface is properly cleaned, degreased, and dry. Lightly sand glossy surfaces before application. Check that the paint has been thoroughly stirred.

Brush marks are visible

Apply thin, even coats rather than one thick coat. Use a high-quality brush and try to maintain a consistent direction of brush strokes. Allow adequate drying time between coats.

Paint appears streaky or translucent

Apply additional thin coats. Ensure the paint is adequately stirred, as pigment can settle. Coverage may vary depending on the surface color and texture.

Paint is too thick for airbrushing

Thin slightly with water (typically no more than 10%). Test spray on scrap material after thinning to ensure proper flow and atomization.
