FAQs
How do I clean up Americana Acrylic Paint?
Clean up with soap and water while the paint is still wet. Dried paint can be difficult to remove, so clean your brushes and tools promptly.
Can I use Americana Acrylics on fabric?

Do I need to prime before painting?

Can I mix different colors of Americana Acrylics?

How long does it take for Americana Acrylics to dry?

Can I varnish Americana Acrylic paintings?
Yes, you can varnish Americana Acrylic paintings to protect them and create different finishes (matte, satin, gloss).
Are Americana Acrylics safe for children?

Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick.
Add a small amount of water to thin the paint. Mix well before use.
Paint is not adhering to the surface.
Ensure the surface is properly prepared (clean, dry, and primed if necessary). Try lightly sanding the surface.
Color is not as expected.
Make sure you have mixed the paint well. Colors may appear different depending on the surface.
