FAQs
Is this paint waterproof once dry?
Yes, Pebeo Acrylic is permanent and water-resistant once fully cured.
Can I use this paint outdoors?
It is designed primarily for indoor arts and crafts. If used outdoors, we recommend applying a professional-grade UV-resistant clear sealant.
Do I need to prime the surface first?
While the paint has high opacity, highly porous surfaces like raw terracotta may benefit from a primer to save paint and ensure an even finish.
Is the paint safe for children?
While the paint is vegan-friendly and high-quality, it is categorized as a professional/craft paint. Adult supervision is recommended for younger users.
How long does it take to dry?
Drying time typically ranges from 15 to 30 minutes depending on the ambient humidity and thickness of the application.
Can I mix this with other acrylics?
Yes, it is compatible with most other water-based acrylic paints.
Troubleshooting
Paint appears streaky or thin
Apply a second coat after the first has dried completely. Ensure you are not over-diluting the paint with water.
Paint peeling off smooth surfaces
The surface may have been too slick. Lightly sand the surface with fine-grit sandpaper, clean it, and reapply.
Paint dried inside the brush
Soak the brush in brush cleaner or warm soapy water for several minutes and gently work the bristles until the paint loosens.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting, ensure the target surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or oils to maximize the permanent bond of the acrylic. If painting a very smooth surface like metal, a light sanding can improve grip.
- Preparation: Shake the bottle well before use to ensure the pigments are properly suspended.
- Application: Use synthetic brushes for the best control and cleaning experience.
- Dilution: If you need to increase fluidity for techniques like glazing, you may add small amounts of water, though excessive water will reduce the paint's opacity.
- Cleanup: As this is an acrylic-based paint, clean brushes and tools immediately with soap and warm water while the paint is still wet.
- Storage: Keep the cap tightly closed and store in a cool, dry place to prevent premature drying.
