FAQs
Is this paint waterproof once dry?
Yes, Pebeo Acrylic is permanent and water-resistant once it has fully cured.
Can I use this on fabric?
While it adheres to many surfaces, it is designed for crafts and home decor. For wearable fabric, specialized fabric medium or fabric paint is recommended.
Do I need to seal the paint after it dries?
Sealing is optional but recommended if the object will be handled frequently or kept in a high-moisture environment.
Is the paint non-toxic?
Pebeo craft acrylics are generally manufactured to be safe for typical craft use, but always refer to the specific label instructions for safety precautions.
Can I thin this paint with water?
Yes, you can use a small amount of water to thin the paint, though adding too much may reduce the binding strength and the intensity of the pearlescent finish.
Troubleshooting
The paint looks streaky or uneven.
Ensure you are using a soft-bristled brush and applying the paint in thin, even coats rather than one thick layer.
The pearlescent effect is faint.
Stir or shake the paint tube thoroughly before use; the pearlescent pigments can settle at the bottom of the tube over time.
Paint is peeling off a smooth surface.
Ensure the surface was cleaned of all grease and dust; use a primer if the surface is too smooth for the acrylic to grip.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent adhesion on a wide variety of porous and non-porous surfaces
- Sophisticated, high-quality pearlescent finish
- High light resistance ensures long-lasting color intensity
- Easy to clean up with soap and water while still wet
Cons
- Small 59ml tube may be insufficient for large-scale painting projects
- Requires layering or priming on highly absorbent surfaces for consistent results
- Specific pearlescent pigment may require thorough mixing before application
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best results, start with a clean, dry surface free from dust or oils. If painting on slick surfaces like metal, consider a light scuffing or primer to aid adhesion.
Application Tips:
- Always shake or massage the tube before opening to ensure the pigment and binder are well-mixed.
- Use a soft-bristled synthetic brush for the smoothest application.
- Clean your brushes immediately after use with warm, soapy water to prevent the paint from hardening in the bristles.
Care:
Once dry, the paint is permanent. Avoid scrubbing the surface with harsh solvents. If the painted object is intended for outdoor use, consider a clear acrylic sealer to provide additional weather protection.
