Product Information
Full details
Tulip Brush-On Fabric Paint in Metallic Silver is designed for crafters and artists looking to add a durable, shimmer-infused finish to textiles. Its primary benefit is a highly opaque, soft-touch formula that stays flexible after drying, ensuring that painted designs do not crack or crumble when fabric moves. However, users should note that as a brush-on medium, it requires steady hand control and specific drying times to achieve professional, permanent results on apparel or home decor.

Troubleshooting

You may have applied the paint too thickly; try applying thinner, multiple layers for a softer feel.
Paint bleeding into fabric
Ensure the fabric is pulled taut during application and avoid overloading the brush with too much paint.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure the fabric is pre-washed without fabric softener to remove sizing, which can inhibit paint adhesion. Apply the paint using a synthetic brush or sponge for best control. After the paint is completely dry to the touch, allow it to air-cure for at least 24 hours. For permanent results, heat-set the design by ironing the reverse side of the fabric or using a pressing cloth over the painted area on a low-heat, no-steam setting. When washing finished projects, turn the garment inside out and use the delicate cycle with mild detergent to preserve the metallic finish.
