FAQs
Is this paint waterproof once dry?
Yes, Pebeo Acrylic Paint is permanent and water-resistant after it has fully cured.
Can I use this on outdoor projects?
The paint is durable, but for long-term outdoor exposure, applying a protective outdoor-grade sealer is recommended.
Does it require a primer?
On most surfaces like wood or paper, a primer is not necessary due to the high opacity of the paint.
Is it safe for children to use?
While the paint is vegan-friendly and high-quality, it is designed for arts and crafts; ensure children use it under supervision.
Can I mix this with other acrylic brands?
Generally, yes, as most water-based acrylics are compatible, though it is best to test on a small scale first.
Troubleshooting
Paint appears streaky or transparent.
Allow the first layer to dry completely and apply a second thin coat, or avoid over-diluting the paint with water.
Paint is flaking off smooth surfaces.
Lightly sand the surface with fine-grit sandpaper to provide 'tooth' for the paint to grip onto.
Paint dried inside the brush.
Soak the brush in a dedicated brush cleaner or isopropyl alcohol, then rinse thoroughly with soap and water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, ensure your project surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or grease before application. While the paint adheres well to most substrates, sanding very smooth surfaces like untreated metal or dense plastic can improve bonding. Use synthetic brushes for the best finish and to avoid bristle streaks. Clean brushes immediately after use with warm water and mild soap while the paint is still wet, as the permanent nature of the acrylic makes it difficult to remove once fully cured. Store the 59ml pots in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is tightly sealed after every session to prevent the paint from drying out.
