FAQs
Is this paint waterproof once dry?
Yes, Pebeo Acrylic is permanent and water-resistant once fully cured.
Can I use this on polystyrene?
Yes, this paint is specifically formulated to work on polystyrene without damaging the material.
Does it need to be sealed?
While the paint is permanent, you can apply an acrylic varnish over the top for extra protection or a change in gloss level.
Is the paint toxic?
Pebeo acrylics are generally safe for craft use, but always ensure proper ventilation and follow standard safety practices when using art materials.
How long does it take to dry?
Surface dry usually occurs within 30-60 minutes, but it is recommended to wait 24 hours for a full, permanent cure.
Can I mix this with other acrylics?
Yes, you can mix it with other standard acrylic colors to create custom pearlescent shades.
Troubleshooting
Paint appears streaky upon application
Apply in thin, even layers and allow sufficient drying time between coats rather than using one heavy, thick layer.
Paint is not adhering to a smooth metal surface
Lightly sand the metal surface with fine-grit sandpaper to create 'tooth' for the acrylic to grip, then clean with alcohol before painting.
Brushes becoming stiff during use
Keep a jar of water nearby and rinse the brush frequently while working to prevent the acrylic from curing on the bristles.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before applying the paint, ensure your surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or oils to maximize the permanent bond. For highly porous materials like raw wood or terracotta, a thin base coat may improve the final finish. Use synthetic or natural bristle brushes depending on your desired texture, and clean brushes immediately after use with soap and water to prevent the acrylic from drying within the bristles. When storing, ensure the bottle cap is screwed on tightly to prevent the paint from dehydrating; store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
