Product Information
Full details
This guide is for hobbyists, DIY enthusiasts, and artists looking for a versatile, safe, and easy-to-use paint. The key benefit is its ability to provide a durable enamel finish on a wide range of surfaces with water-based cleanup. A potential caveat is that while it's low odor, proper ventilation is still recommended for extensive use. Polyvine Acrylic Enamel Paint is a water-based, low-odor, fast-drying paint suitable for both interior and exterior applications on surfaces like plastic, metal, glass, ceramic, card, and porcelain. It's intermixable, allowing for a vast color palette, and can be applied with a brush or airbrush.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this paint suitable for outdoor furniture?
Yes, it is developed for interior and exterior use and provides a tough, durable finish suitable for outdoor furniture, provided the surface is properly prepared and the paint is applied in appropriate conditions.
How do I clean up paint spills?
Clean up spills and tools immediately after use with water and soap. Dried paint will be much harder to remove.
Can I mix this paint with other brands?
While Polyvine Acrylic Enamel paints are designed to be intermixable with each other, mixing with other brands or types of paint is not recommended as it may affect performance and durability.
What is the coverage rate?
Coverage is approximately 10-20 square meters per liter, but this can vary depending on the surface porosity and application thickness.
Can I use this paint on fabric?
The product information does not specify suitability for fabric. It is recommended for plastic, metal, glass, ceramic, card, and porcelain.
Is it safe for use near food surfaces?
While safe for children's toys, it is not specified as food-safe. Avoid using it on surfaces that come into direct contact with food.
Does it require a sealant or varnish afterward?
The paint provides a durable enamel finish on its own. However, for added protection, especially in high-wear areas or for prolonged exterior exposure, a clear acrylic sealant or varnish compatible with water-based paints can be applied.
Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick for airbrushing
Thin the paint with a small amount of water (10-20%) until it reaches the desired spraying consistency. Stir well.
Poor adhesion on a surface
Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned and dry. Lightly sand the surface before painting, or apply a suitable primer designed for the material (e.g., plastic primer).
Brush marks are visible
Apply paint in thin, even coats. Use a good quality synthetic brush and use smooth, consistent strokes. Allow each coat to dry slightly before applying the next.
Paint is drying too quickly on the brush/palette
Work in smaller batches. Keep the paint pot closed when not in use. Consider using a retarder additive if available for water-based acrylics, though this is not a standard feature of this product.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or debris. For very slick surfaces like some plastics or glass, a light sanding or application of a suitable primer may improve adhesion.
Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply with a good quality brush or an airbrush. If using an airbrush, thin with water as needed to achieve desired consistency (typically around 10-20% water). Apply in thin, even coats for best results.
Compatibility: Suitable for use on plastic, metal, wood, glass, ceramic, card, porcelain, and previously painted surfaces (ensure compatibility with existing coatings).
Care & Cleanup: Clean brushes, airbrushes, and any spills immediately after use with water and soap. Dried paint can be difficult to remove. For painted surfaces, clean gently with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
