FAQs
Can I use this paint on fabric?
While the paint is versatile, it is not specifically designed for fabric. Test on a small, inconspicuous area first to see if adhesion and flexibility are satisfactory for your needs.
How long does the paint take to dry?
Drying time varies with temperature, humidity, and application thickness. Typically, it is touch-dry in 30-60 minutes, but recoat and full cure times will be longer. Allow at least 24-48 hours for full curing before heavy use.
Is this paint safe for children's toys?
Yes, this paint has been developed to be non-hazardous and is safe for children's toys, provided it is applied and cured properly.
What is the coverage rate?
Coverage is approximately 10-20 square meters per liter, depending on the surface porosity and application method.
Can I mix different colors together?
Yes, the colors are designed to be intermixable, allowing you to create a wide spectrum of custom shades.
How do I clean up paint from my airbrush?
Rinse your airbrush immediately after use with water until all paint residue is removed. Disassemble and clean parts as per your airbrush manufacturer's instructions.
Can I use this paint over existing oil-based paint?
It is generally recommended to apply over a suitable primer if painting over oil-based paint, especially if the surface is glossy. Ensure the surface is clean and de-greased.
Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick for application.
Stir the paint thoroughly. If still too thick, add a small amount of water (no more than 10%) and mix well. For airbrushing, thinning may be necessary according to airbrush manufacturer recommendations.
Poor adhesion on a surface.
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and prepped. Lightly sand glossy or slick surfaces before painting. Consider using a compatible primer for difficult materials like certain plastics or metals.
Uneven finish or brush marks.
Apply paint in thin, even coats rather than one thick coat. Use a high-quality brush and maintain a consistent direction of application. For airbrushing, adjust pressure and distance for an even spray pattern.
Paint remains tacky after application.
This can occur in high humidity or low temperatures. Ensure adequate ventilation and allow more drying time. Avoid applying thick coats in humid conditions.
