FAQs
Do I need to seal the paint after application?
No, the Pergamano Acrylic Mat paint is indelible when dry, meaning it provides a permanent and durable finish without the need for a separate sealant.
How long does the paint take to dry completely?
The paint dries to the touch within a short period, but full indelibility and water resistance can take 24-48 hours, depending on application thickness and environmental conditions.
Can I mix this paint with other brands of acrylics?
While possible, it is generally recommended to use Pergamano paints together for optimal results and color consistency. Mixing with other brands may affect the paint's properties.
Is this paint suitable for outdoor use?
The paint is resistant to light, which is beneficial for outdoor applications. However, prolonged exposure to harsh weather conditions might impact its longevity. For highly exposed outdoor items, consider additional protective coatings.
How should I store the paint?
Store the paint in its original container with the lid tightly sealed, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure it is not exposed to freezing conditions.
Can this paint be used on fabric?
This paint is not specifically designed for fabric and may not adhere well or remain flexible on textiles. For fabric applications, specialized fabric paints are recommended.
Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick or streaky.
Mix the paint thoroughly before use. If still too thick, add a very small amount of water (a drop at a time) and mix again until desired consistency is reached.
Paint is not adhering well to the surface.
Ensure the surface is properly cleaned and dry. For difficult surfaces like some plastics, consider applying a primer specifically designed for acrylic paints.
Color does not appear as expected.
Ensure the paint was mixed thoroughly. Different lighting conditions can affect color perception; test on a scrap piece under intended lighting.
Dried paint is not permanent.
Allow adequate drying time (typically 24-48 hours for full indelibility) in a well-ventilated area. Ensure the surface was suitable for the paint.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the surface you intend to decorate is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. For optimal results, shake the bottle well or stir the paint thoroughly before each use to ensure an even consistency.
Compatibility: This acrylic paint is designed for use on wood, plastic, glass, Darwi modelling paste, plaster, and aluminium. It may not adhere effectively to very porous or flexible surfaces without a suitable primer. Test on an inconspicuous area first if unsure.
Care: Clean brushes, tools, and any spills immediately after use with water. Once the paint is dry, it becomes indelible and water-resistant. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures during storage.
