FAQs
Is DecoArt Dazzling Metallics paint permanent?
Yes, once dry, DecoArt Dazzling Metallics acrylic paint creates a permanent finish.
Can I use this paint on fabric?
While it can adhere to fabric, it is not specifically formulated as a fabric paint. Test for washability on a scrap piece first. For best results on fabric, consider sealing it after painting.
How do I clean up paint spills?
Clean up any wet paint immediately with soap and water. Dried paint is much harder to remove.
Can I mix Dazzling Metallics with other acrylic paints?
Yes, it can be mixed with other water-based acrylic paints and mediums.
Is this paint suitable for outdoor use?
This paint is best suited for indoor projects. For outdoor use, a strong, weather-resistant topcoat specifically designed for exterior applications would be necessary.
Are there other forms of this paint available?
Yes, select colors are also available in writer and glaze formulations for different application techniques.
What surfaces can I paint on?
You can use this paint on a wide variety of surfaces including wood, canvas, paper, metal, plaster, and painted or primed surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick or stringy.
Add a very small amount of water (a drop or two) and mix thoroughly. If using a glaze, ensure it's fully integrated with the medium.
Coverage is streaky or uneven.
Apply a second thin coat once the first coat is dry. Ensure the surface was properly prepared and primed if necessary. Using a softer brush can also help with smoother application.
Metallic sheen is not as bright as expected.
Ensure the paint is thoroughly mixed before use, as metallic pigments can settle. Apply a darker base coat if painting over a very light or transparent surface.
Paint is drying too quickly on the brush.
Work in smaller sections and clean your brush frequently with water. Using a retarder medium can also extend the open time of the paint.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This paint is ready to use straight from the bottle. Ensure your surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease for optimal adhesion. For porous surfaces like raw wood or plaster, applying a primer or sealer first can improve coverage and durability.
Compatibility: DecoArt Dazzling Metallics is compatible with most acrylic mediums, glazes, and other acrylic paints. It adheres well to a wide variety of substrates including wood, canvas, paper, fabric (test for washability), metal, and sealed plaster. For items that will be handled frequently or washed, such as mugs or serving trays, a protective topcoat like a clear acrylic sealant is recommended after the paint has fully cured.
Care: Clean brushes and tools immediately after use with soap and water. Dried paint can be difficult to remove. Store the paint in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, with the lid tightly sealed to prevent drying out. Protect painted surfaces from excessive moisture and abrasive cleaning methods.
