FAQs
Can I use this paint on metal?
This paint is best suited for porous surfaces like ceramic, concrete, and wood. Adhesion on non-porous surfaces like metal may vary and is not guaranteed without proper preparation or primer.
Does Splendid Gold need a topcoat or sealer?
No, the formula is designed to be permanent and durable on its own, so no additional sealer is required.
How long does the paint take to dry?
The paint typically dries to the touch within 20 minutes, but a full cure for maximum durability takes approximately 72 hours. Recoat within 1 hour or after 24 hours.
Is this paint suitable for items that will be submerged in water?
While weather-resistant, this paint is not designed for prolonged submersion. It is suitable for decorative items exposed to rain or occasional splashes.
Can I mix this paint with other Deco Art acrylics?
This is a specialized patio paint. While some acrylics may mix, it's best to use it as intended for optimal performance on outdoor surfaces. Mixing may affect its weather-resistant properties.
What is the best way to store leftover paint?
Ensure the lid is sealed tightly to prevent drying. Store in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperatures. Because it's water-based, avoid freezing.
Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well
Ensure the surface is thoroughly clean, dry, and porous. Avoid painting on non-porous or sealed surfaces. Apply a second coat if the first coat was too thin.
Scuff marks appearing quickly
Allow the paint to cure fully for at least 72 hours for maximum hardness. Ensure the surface is not subjected to heavy abrasion before full curing.
Uneven color or coverage
Apply paint in thin, even coats. Allow each coat to dry before applying the next. Ensure adequate paint is loaded onto the brush for consistent application.
Difficulty cleaning brushes
Clean brushes immediately after use with soap and water. If paint has dried, try a brush cleaner designed for acrylics, though this may be more difficult with permanent formulas.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or oil. For porous surfaces like unglazed ceramic or concrete, no primer is typically needed, but ensure the material is suitable for painting. Shake the pot gently before use.
Compatibility: This paint is specifically formulated for porous materials such as unglazed ceramic, paper, styrofoam, concrete, terra cotta, masonry, and wood. It is intended for decorative use and is not recommended for surfaces that come into direct contact with food or high-wear areas not listed.
Care: Clean brushes, palettes, and spills immediately after use with soap and water. Once the paint is dry and permanent, clean painted items with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing to maintain the finish.
