Full details
The Pebeo Setacolor 3D Brod'Perle Effect Paint is an essential tool for textile artists, fashion designers, and DIY enthusiasts looking to add sophisticated, pearl-like dimensional accents to their projects. This relief paint creates raised, bead-like dots that mimic the appearance of delicate embroidery, offering excellent coverage on a wide variety of textiles including cotton, denim, and canvas. While it provides a durable, glossy finish that moves with your fabric, users should note that the precision tip requires a steady hand and practice to achieve perfectly uniform bead sizes.

Troubleshooting
Paint dot has a tail or string.
Lift the applicator straight up quickly after stopping the pressure, rather than dragging it to the side.
The paint is flaking off after washing.
Ensure the fabric was washed to remove sizing before painting and allowed to cure for the full 24 hours.
Inconsistent pearl sizes.
Practice your 'squeeze-and-release' rhythm on a scrap piece of cloth to maintain even pressure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before application, ensure the fabric is clean, dry, and free of fabric softener, as these residues can interfere with adhesion. If the fabric is new, pre-wash it to remove any manufacturing sizing. Place a piece of cardboard inside the garment to prevent the paint from bleeding through to the back layer.
To care for your finished projects, allow the paint to dry for at least 24 hours. Once fully cured, the garment can be washed. It is recommended to wash by hand or inside out on a gentle cycle in cold water. Avoid the use of bleach and tumble drying to maintain the integrity of the pearl finish over time.
