FAQs
How many colors are included in the 80's Pop set?
The Scribbles 3D Fabric Paint - 80's Pop set includes six coordinating 1-oz bottles of neon paint.
Is the paint suitable for children?
The easy-squeeze bottles and non-toxic formula make it suitable for supervised use by children. Adult supervision is recommended for younger artists.
Can I mix the colors?
While the set includes coordinating colors, mixing neon paints can alter their vibrancy. It's generally recommended to use them as intended or test any color mixing on a scrap fabric first.
How long does the paint take to dry completely?
Allow painted items to dry for a minimum of 24 hours, and up to 72 hours for full curing, before washing or heavy use.
Will the paint feel stiff on the fabric?
No, the paint is designed to be ultra-flexible when dry, meaning it won't crack or peel and will remain comfortable on the fabric.
Can this paint be used on shoes?
Yes, if the shoes are made of compatible fabric materials like canvas or cotton. Ensure the painted area is allowed to cure fully before wearing.
What is the shelf life of the paint?
When stored properly in a cool, dry place with the caps tightly sealed, the paint typically maintains its quality for 1-2 years.
Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick or clumpy
Gently shake the bottle before use. If the nozzle is clogged, carefully clear it with a pin or paperclip after wiping away excess paint.
Paint bleeding or spreading unexpectedly
Ensure the fabric is taut and not stretching. For very absorbent fabrics, consider applying thinner coats or testing on a scrap piece first. Ensure the nozzle is held at a consistent distance from the fabric.
Paint is not drying permanent
Ensure the paint has been allowed adequate drying time (24-72 hours) before washing. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, which can affect permanence. Ensure the paint was applied to a clean, dry fabric surface.
Shiny finish appears dull
Ensure the paint was applied evenly. A thin, even coat usually yields the best shiny finish. Avoid overworking the paint once applied.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No complex setup is required. Ensure your fabric surface is clean, dry, and free of any sizing or finishes. Pre-wash fabrics without fabric softener before painting to ensure best adhesion. Shake the bottle gently before use. Remove the cap and start applying paint directly to the fabric using the easy-squeeze nozzle.
Compatibility: This fabric paint is suitable for most natural and synthetic fabrics, including cotton, polyester blends, denim, canvas, and rayon. It can also be used on paper for mixed-media projects. Avoid applying to delicate fabrics like silk or very loosely woven materials where bleeding might occur.
Care: Allow painted items to dry completely for at least 24-72 hours before the first wash. Once fully cured, the paint is permanent and machine washable. Wash decorated items inside out in cold water on a gentle cycle. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the paint's adhesion and finish. If ironing is necessary, iron on the reverse side of the painted area.
