Can I use this glitter with exterior paint?

Will the glitter fade over time?

No, the glitter particles are designed to be UV, heat, solvent, and fade-resistant, ensuring a long-lasting sparkle.

How do I clean a wall painted with glitter additive?

Clean the wall gently with a damp cloth. The glitter is waterproof and durable, but avoid abrasive cleaners.

Can I mix this glitter with different colors of paint?

What types of paint are compatible with this glitter?

Does the glitter affect the paint's finish?

Troubleshooting

Uneven glitter distribution

Stir the paint mixture more thoroughly and continuously during application. Ensure the glitter was fully mixed into the paint before application.

Lack of sparkle

Ensure the paint has dried completely. Use Hemway buffing pads on the dried surface to enhance the reflectivity of the glitter particles. Check that the correct glitter-to-paint ratio was used.

Glitter settling at the bottom of the paint can

Stir the paint mixture frequently during application to prevent settling.

Paint application seems difficult

Ensure the glitter is fully integrated into the paint. If using on a textured surface, ensure even application.

  3. Add the entire contents of the packet to 1 liter of your chosen paint or coating.
  4. Stir thoroughly and consistently until the glitter is evenly distributed throughout the mixture. Avoid clumping.

Care:
