FAQs
Is this paint permanent?
Yes, once the paint has fully dried and cured, it becomes permanent and water-resistant.
Can I use this on Styrofoam?

How do I clean my brushes?
Simply rinse your brushes with mild soap and warm water immediately after use.
Do I need to seal the paint?
While not strictly required for indoor projects, a clear acrylic sealer can provide extra protection and longevity.
Is this paint non-toxic?
Deco Art Dazzling Metallics are formulated to be water-based, making them a safe choice for standard craft environments.
How many coats should I apply?
For best results, we recommend at least two coats, allowing adequate drying time between applications.
Troubleshooting
Paint is streaky during application
Apply thinner layers and allow for drying between coats; use a softer brush to reduce drag.
Paint is not sticking to the surface
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of oil or wax; lightly sand if the surface is too smooth.
Finish looks dull or lacks shimmer
Stir the paint gently before use to redistribute metallic flakes that may have settled at the bottom of the bottle.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Ensure your workspace is well-ventilated. Before application, clean all surfaces to remove dust, oil, or debris that might prevent proper adhesion. If painting on very smooth surfaces like glass or treated plastic, you may need to lightly sand or use a primer for better results. During use, keep the container tightly closed when not in use to prevent the water-based medium from thickening. Once your project is complete, clean brushes immediately with mild soap and warm water. To preserve the metallic shine over time, consider applying a compatible clear acrylic sealer after the paint has fully cured for at least 24 hours.
