FAQs
Is this glitter paint safe for children's crafts?
Yes, the Deco Art Glamour Dust Glitter Paint is non-toxic and safe for use in children's crafts, provided they are supervised and clean up while the paint is wet.
Can I use this glitter paint on fabric?
This product is not specifically designed for fabric and may not provide a durable or flexible finish on textiles. It is best suited for the surfaces listed in the product description.
How do I achieve a very intense glitter effect?
For a more intense glitter effect, apply multiple thin coats of the paint, allowing each coat to dry slightly before applying the next. Ensure you shake the container well before each application.
What is the best way to store the glitter paint?
Store the glitter paint in its original container with the lid tightly sealed in a cool, dry place, away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
Can I seal over the glitter paint once it's dry?
Yes, once the glitter paint is completely dry, you can apply a clear acrylic sealer or varnish to further protect the finish, especially on high-use items. Ensure the sealer is compatible with acrylic paints.
Is the 'Purple Princess' color a light or dark purple?
The 'Purple Princess' is a vibrant shade of purple, offering a rich color base for the fine glitter particles to enhance.
Troubleshooting
Glitter not evenly distributed
Shake the container vigorously for at least 1 minute before and during use. If the glitter seems settled, stir gently with a clean brush or tool.
Paint is too thick or clumpy
Ensure the container is properly sealed when not in use. If slightly dried, try adding a tiny amount of water and stirring well. Avoid adding too much water, as it can dilute the glitter concentration.
Poor adhesion to surface
Verify the surface is clean, dry, and free of any dust, oil, or old finishes. For very slick surfaces like certain plastics or treated glass, a primer may be beneficial.
Difficulty cleaning brush
Clean your brush immediately after use with soap and water while the paint is still wet. Dried paint can be difficult to remove from brush bristles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the surface you intend to paint is clean, dry, and free of dust or grease for optimal adhesion. Shake the container well before use to distribute the glitter evenly within the paint base.

For glass and ceramic items, the application is intended for decorative purposes only and not for surfaces that come into direct contact with food or drink.
Care: To maintain the quality of the paint and your finished project, handle painted items with care.

Clean up any spills or tools immediately after use with soap and water while the paint is still wet. Once dried, removal can be more challenging.
