Troubleshooting
Paint appears streaky or not opaque
Ensure the paint is thoroughly stirred. Apply thin, even coats and allow each coat to dry before applying the next. For very dark surfaces, a primer or a base coat of white paint might improve opacity.
Paint is too thick to apply smoothly
Gently stir the paint. If it's still too thick, add a very small amount of water (no more than 5% of the paint volume) and mix thoroughly. Alternatively, consider using a Deco Art medium if available for thinning.
Poor adhesion to the surface
Verify that the surface was properly cleaned and dried before painting. Ensure the surface is porous or has been adequately prepared (e.g., sanded lightly if necessary for very smooth surfaces).

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup for Deco Art Dazzling Metallics is straightforward: ensure your surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or grease for optimal adhesion. The paint is compatible with a variety of porous and semi-porous surfaces including canvas, paper, wood, untreated ceramics (unglazed pottery), and Styrofoam. For best results, stir the paint gently before use, as metallic flakes can settle. To care for projects finished with this paint, allow them to cure fully (typically 72 hours) before handling extensively. Clean painted items gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or prolonged exposure to moisture, especially on porous surfaces. While water-based, once dry, the paint offers good durability for decorative applications.
