Americana Multi-Surface Premium Acrylics - 59ml
Use this premium, satin, indoor/outdoor acrylic on almost any surface including most plastics. They are self-sealing, so no primer or varnish is required and they offer excellent coverage in one to two coats. This special formula is designed to brush out smoothly and once fully cured, creates a durable, hard finish that is highly resistant to cleaning chemicals.
Clean stencils quickly before paint dries for easier re-use. No primer or sealer is needed before painting or to protect the finish afterwards. Get a nice, even finish on slick surfaces like glass and metal by using a soft brush to spread out Multi-Surface paint, then leaving it to self-level.
Use a light touch on slick surfaces for better coverage. Pressing too firmly with the brush can cause paint to slide off the surface. For an eggshell finish, use a high-density cosmetic sponge to tap the paint onto the surface. This technique will also give your base coat "tooth" that makes it easier for additional coats of paint or painted designs to adhere.
Superior flow and leveling, Acid-free, Intermixable colours, Permanent, lightfast pigments
