FAQs
Is this paint truly 'washable'?
No, while the paint is hard-wearing and resistant to moisture, it is specifically stated as not washable once dry. It is best suited for decorative purposes where it will not be frequently exposed to rubbing or washing.
Can I use this paint on fabric?
The product information lists Canvas, Plastic, Acetate, Card, and MDF as compatible surfaces. Fabric is not explicitly mentioned, and due to its non-washable nature, it may not be suitable for most fabric applications where washing is intended.
Do I need to seal the paint after application?
The paint is described as hard-wearing, moisture, and rust resistant. For added durability or if the item will be in frequent contact with moisture or wear, a clear sealant compatible with acrylics could be applied after the paint is fully cured.
What is the best way to clean my brushes?
Clean your brushes thoroughly with water immediately after use, before the paint dries. Soap may be used if necessary.
Can this paint be used on ceramics?
Ceramics are not explicitly listed as a compatible surface. For best results and adhesion, ensure the ceramic surface is clean and dry. A primer might be beneficial for ceramic applications.
What does 'hard wearing' mean in this context?
It means the paint creates a durable finish that can withstand a reasonable amount of wear and tear for a decorative paint, but it does not make the surface impervious to damage or washing.
How long does the paint take to dry?
The paint is quick-drying, but specific drying times can vary depending on the thickness of application and environmental conditions (humidity, temperature).
Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick or clumpy.
Stir the paint thoroughly. If it persists, a very small amount of water may be added, but this can affect durability and washability.
Paint is not adhering well to the surface.
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. For very smooth or non-porous surfaces, consider a light sanding or a suitable primer before painting.
Uneven metallic finish.
Apply paint in thin, even coats using a brush or sponge. Avoid overworking the paint. Ensure adequate lighting to see coverage as you apply.
Paint is drying too fast on the brush.
Work in smaller sections and ensure your brush is slightly damp (not wet) if needed, but avoid adding water directly to the paint pot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No special setup is required. Ensure your surface is clean, dry, and free from grease for best adhesion. Shake or stir the paint thoroughly before use.
