What kind of paint would you suggest for permanent results? The acrylics I'm using keep chipping.

When I use this on models I have used Reaper acrylics and Freak Flex acrylics. When I finish the model I always use a clear coat spray, either flat or gloss, depending on the model. I always have to use more than one coat of Freak Flex paint, they are pretty thin. So far I haven't had any chipping on them. Hope that helps!

I would use markers, the material is very flexible and paint would probably crack and peel.

Hi. I have been working with paints all my life. Working forDuPont and Val-Spar. I have used vinyl finishes a few time on my own stuff and works well. I have had no problems with cracks or peeling (due to a flex additive) but for everyday use I feel it will wear through after everyday sliding back and forth as this is a thin material being sprayed and will take a few coats for decent coverage. The articles Ive sprayed in the past were chairs that did not get much use but looks good. But for the price it can't hurt to try. At worst just touch it up from time to time. Hope this helps a little anyway. Thanks.

Acrylic paint dries harder. The finished product is stiffer. That might work for some areas on shoes, but you really want fabric paint to decorate fabric that will be worn.

Hi, I'll be glad to give you my thoughts on this.The LED lights get a little warm bu not to melt the type of material you will use those against acrylic/polycarb.Go for it, these look amazing.

I used nail polish to give it an interesting coloring. Do not use food coloring or acrylic paint. The reaction is really bad.

Some colors are sheer, some opaque. I find the metallics are one coat coverage for me. The opaque neons are also one coat coverage for me. The pastels and sheers require several coats (or even another opaque polish as a base). I suggest a top coat but don't have a huge problem with chipping (typical one week wear time is what I can get w active hands). Hope that helped.

All the paints can chip if you rough handle them or put them in the dishwasher. Id stid with the stainless steel one if that worries you.

Acrylic paint tends to peel or easily chip off plastic. But if you can locate a primer that is for plastics to use first, it might work. They sell these paints individually at Michael's if you wanted to test it out before ordering this lot.

I would try something more heavy duty. This is more for coating a surface that doesn't take a lot of wear and tare. Hope that helps.

Not sure what a "small chip" is to you. The final look should be very smooth and shiny, if you do it right. You may have to use more than one coat of the wax. I like this stuff for most everything except scuffs.

Use the paint color you choose then use a complimentary glaze over that. A good paint store can help you with the technique.

We bought this for our glass tank. I wouldn't go acrylic as it will,scratch and will,discolor.

I very much doubt it. I think you'd need acrylics for that, but it would be worth googling. In any case, you'd need to prep the surface by at least removing all dirt and oils and maybe giving a final wipe with rubbing alcohol. But that's just me and I'm an experimenter at heart :-)

Yes. The base coat is black so you can leave some of the black exposed or you can mix the white with a grey or black acrylic paint craft paint that you get at hobby supply store. I'm mixed mine with acrylic hobby paint and it came out perfect. I finished in October and it's still perfect not a chip.

Acrylics are NOT the type of paint to use. Go to Walmart and buy craft paint that can be used on material. It can be washed and retains it's vibrancy....acrylics are blotchy, if adhering at all. Do not recommend.

Use a spray varnish, one that comes in aerosel form. It seems like the varnish re hydrates the paint, making said paint wet and then it bleeds. Maybe try an acrylic sealer before applying the varnish????
