FAQs
What surfaces can I use this Hot Pink paint on?
This paint adheres well to glass, ceramic, wood, metal, plastic, fabric, canvas, and paper.
Is this paint permanent once dry?
Once dry and properly cured (usually 72 hours), the paint forms a durable finish. For maximum longevity, especially on high-wear surfaces, a sealant is recommended.
How do I clean my brushes after using this paint?
Clean brushes and tools immediately after use with soap and water while the paint is still wet.
Can I mix this hot pink paint with other colors?
Yes, DecoArt Crafters Acrylic paints are intermixable. You can blend them to create custom colors.
Does this paint require a primer?
A primer is not always necessary but is recommended for porous surfaces like unfinished wood or for achieving the most vibrant results on darker materials, and for ensuring maximum durability on challenging surfaces.
Is the paint safe for children to use?
Yes, this paint has a non-toxic formula, making it safe for use by crafters of all ages.
How long does it take for the paint to dry?
Drying time varies based on application thickness and environmental conditions, but it typically dries to the touch within 20-30 minutes.
Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick or gummy
Shake the bottle gently. If still thick, add a tiny amount of water (a few drops) and mix thoroughly. Avoid adding too much water, as it can affect adhesion and durability.
Poor adhesion on a specific surface
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of any oils or residues. Lightly sanding glossy surfaces like glass or plastic before painting can improve adhesion. Consider applying a primer or a compatible sealant after painting.
Streaks or brush marks are visible
Apply paint in thin, even coats. Use a high-quality brush and maintain a consistent direction of strokes. Allow each coat to dry before applying the next. Stippling or using a sponge can also help minimize brush marks.
Paint is not drying properly
Check environmental conditions; high humidity or low temperatures can slow drying. Ensure paint is applied in thin coats. Avoid using excessive amounts of paint or additives.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This paint requires no special setup; simply shake the bottle gently before use. Ensure your surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease for optimal adhesion. For porous surfaces like wood or unsealed ceramic, a primer can enhance coverage and durability.
Compatibility: DecoArt Crafters Acrylic paints are designed to adhere to a wide array of surfaces including glass, ceramic, wood, metal, plastic, fabric, canvas, and paper. They are intermixable with other DecoArt Crafters Acrylic paints. For enhanced durability on high-contact surfaces or when subject to outdoor elements, consider applying a compatible sealant or varnish after the paint has fully dried (typically 72 hours).
Care: Clean brushes, tools, and spills with soap and water while the paint is still wet. Once dry, the paint is water-resistant but not waterproof. For painted items, gentle hand washing is recommended if applicable (e.g., on mugs). Avoid abrasive cleaners or prolonged soaking.
