Also, what are the differences between this paint and acrylic paint, or are these the same?

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.

Its ok, but I wouldn't buy another one, any odd thing you have at home with a lid would do the same. The paint does NOT peel right off, it comes off ok, but not like it says, cheaper and easier to use a cheap container ( with a lid ) until you have finished with the paint then throw it away. Happy painting. OOps, as for Acrylics, I don't use them so I can't answer that.

yes, I paint in acrylics and it works very well. I also found putting glass in the bottom helps.

Some of the colors require mixing two colors together to create a new color. But it's pretty easy because you do a 50/50 mix. The one problem with acrylics is that they dry amazingly fast. Which is good on the canvas, but frustrating on your palette.

These paints are acrylic based, not oil. Has very little/no odor. Yes, you can paint inside without ventilation. I never got my paints as the 2 times that Amazon sent them to me, some of the bottles were opened and leaked in the box, and were returned. After 2 tries, Amazon gave up and cancelled my order. I know about these paints from buying them from other vendors.

M/S paints are exceptionally good quality paints. Some of them are a bit thick, the high-gloss paints, more so than others. Paints also get thicker as they age. I don't know what the shelf life is on these paints, but I have found that they do tend to thicken to almost a "gel like" substance the older they get. Adding water is okay and does not effect the outcome of your project - as long as it's only a small amount of water. Too much water will make the paints lose some of the gloss effect and will not cover as thoroughly. If the paint is too gel like or too thick already, I would advise buying a new bottle (or set) to insure the best outcome for your project. The paint should Not be 'gel like' brand new. It should be thick but easily useable. A word of caution: Hobby and Craft stores, as well as Paint stores, often put their paints On Sale as they enter the end of their factory recommended shelf life. The paints are still good, but best used right away. Paints are also put On Sale as new colors hit the market and old ones fall out of favor, so not all paint 'on sale' has necessarily reached it 'sell by' date! I hope this info is helpful!

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.

Gloss paint yes, Flat no. Use least abrasive for painted surface and test in an area that won't show. Be VERY careful not to rub thru. What kind of coating on plastic surface?

It has a nice shine to it, I looked on my can of paint and it just says acrylic paint. But it's not real shiny that if you scratched it it would show up. It has just the right finish to it. But remember to keep extra paint on hand if you do buy this product because there will be some touching up. I hope this helps. Dee

It has a very fine almost plastic/laminate like finish. It would be best to ask at your local paint store which product will work best. My recommendation would be to rough the finish up with a fine sandpaper, clean the dust off, then use a good primer before painting it. I have tried painting similar products with an all in one primer/paint and had really poor results (weak adhesion), hence the separate primer suggestion.

Yes. A few exaples are, ebay, tcpglobal.com, utrechtart.com and there are many more. To save money I buy acrylic (water based) paint at an arts and crafts like Joann's or Michael's. The liquid kind not paste. BUT IT MUST BE THINED WITH WATER FIRST. Too little water and it splats or won't spray. Too much and it runs and has coverage issues. Get that down and the choices are endless. So many acrylic colors available localy. Gloss, pearls, glow in the dark, etc. The cost is cheaper too, $1-3 for a 2oz bottle generally. Have fun.

Acrylic paints usually work best and I have the least issues with bubbling or separating. Between latex and enamel, I would probably use enamel. I doubt you would experience any major issues with the latex but the enamel would give you a stronger bond with the surface material and better color consistency from pre-resin to dry dry resin.

I can't say for 100% sure. I had some trouble using this type of reflective spray paint. I wasn't happy with the way things turned out. But then again it could very well have been the way I used this spray paint. I never tried to use this paint again. I think there are a few other kinds of reflective spray paint on AMAZON you might try looking into them. Again I wasn't 100% pleased. Sorry I wasn't more help. FRANZ

Yes you can, I use acrylics all the time for painting models and other things =) I just thin them with water *depending on brand* to get the right consistency so paint will flow out with out spattering.

Acrylic. None of the paint sets from Dimensions are Oil as far as I've seen.

I have a lot of experience doing both. Easy to cut. Easy to paint. For better adhesion, a better look and for durability use a primer before painting.
