Product Information
Full details
The Pebeo Gloss Acrylic Craft Paint in Fig is an ideal choice for crafters, artists, and DIY enthusiasts looking to add a deep, permanent, and glossy finish to various home decor projects. Its versatile formula adheres effectively to porous and non-porous surfaces, offering excellent lightfastness for long-lasting vibrancy. While it provides a professional-grade finish, users should note that the 59ml bottle size is best suited for detailed work or small-to-medium surface areas rather than large-scale mural painting.

FAQs
Is this paint waterproof once dry?
Yes, Pebeo Acrylic Paint is permanent and water-resistant once it has fully cured.
Can I use this paint on polystyrene?
Yes, this paint is specifically formulated to be safe for use on polystyrene.
How do I clean my brushes after use?
Clean your brushes thoroughly with warm water and mild soap immediately after use.
Does it need a varnish?
The paint dries to a high-gloss finish on its own, so a varnish is generally not required, though one can be applied for extra protection if desired.
Can this paint be thinned?
Yes, it can be slightly thinned with water, though this may reduce the gloss intensity and coverage opacity.
Troubleshooting
Paint appears streaky upon application
Ensure you are using a high-quality synthetic brush and avoid over-brushing; apply a second thin coat after the first has dried.
Paint is peeling from a non-porous surface
Ensure the surface is degreased and lightly sanded to provide 'tooth' for the paint to grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting your project, ensure the target surface is clean and free of oils or debris. Shake the bottle well before use to ensure the pigments are properly mixed.
- Application: Use synthetic brushes for best results with acrylics. Clean tools immediately with soap and water before the paint dries.
- Compatibility: Safe for use on wood, plaster, terracotta, metal, cardboard, stone, paper, concrete, and polystyrene.
- Storage: Keep the bottle tightly capped and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the paint's consistency.
