Can you add glitter or 'sprinkle stuff' to the mineral paint? Has anyone tried this or know if it would word and still turn out ok?

I'm not real sure however I'm not sure it will hold up as mine is peeling down to the original color the clear coat doesn't hold up or maybe I didn't put enough coats on?? I followed the directions to the letter but just peeled up in the spots I use most actually just sitting there would wrinkle the clear coat up.. I let it dry for longer then they told in the directions because I wanted to do this project once...but shame on me I'll be doing it again this summer.

We love it the way it is......the metal is slightly on the rough side......I guess if you SPRAY!! painted, it might work. Good luck

I am not the representative for this company, but I would. In my humble opinion, I think this paint is very nice. I sanded the fire out of some coat racks and went with it. It has a nice finish. You may wish to do 2 coats. I can't remember if I did. I'm not a purist or a perfectionist, but I would. I was prompted by Amazon comment monitor to respond, so maybe this will be of some help. Have a nice day!

Hi I wanted a metallic gold to paint onto the 'leaves' of a book cake to give the impression of goldleaf edging. It does need a few layers on fondant but it is shiny gold. I didn't use it in a spray so don't know how that looks ...I used a paintbrush.

Rena, I have mixed paint with a thinner and did some airbrushing on paper and it worked out fine. I was amazed how light I could go with the paint just by pushing the trigger a little bit, more trigger= more paint..

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!

If the existing paint is glossy or semi-gloss, I would suggest priming or at least scuffing it with steel wool. I would not, however, recommend this paint.

Kelly, I wondered the same thing at first, but I found that this product works very well with a small watercolor brush. My project involved helping a group in a convalescent center paint holiday scenes on large, flat cookies that I had frosted with hard white icing. They painted with the gold in just the same way as the red, green etc AmeriColors. It is very pretty.

The product description says work well on smooth surface. I guess it is not perfect on a painted metal surface. However you may try. I think you may want to try painting instead of using permanent decals in your case. Good luck.

My guess would be probably not. This glitter is very, very fine, and I don't know if you would get the effect you want. It might look more like a solid color. It is sooooo fine that it is difficult to get off areas you don't want it. I only work on it when I can take my craft work outside because I don't want the fine glitter all over everywhere. It's beautiful on handmade cards however!

I actually used this foam for my God of War/Kratos costume. it is completely possible to paint this without melting it. just be sure to not only test your paint on a piece not included in your project (i.e. cut a small piece off of 1 sheet) to be sure your paint selection won't melt the foam and you might also want to sand down the surface so you don't see the foam particles through the paint. but in short, Yes it is very possible. another option if you want to use spraypaint, use the "model train" spray sealant first and paint over that.

According to the instructions u can use a paint spray but I know that I didn't use a spray. I did the old fashion paint roller and the layers of paint was the same as if the additives wasn't in the paint

Yes. I did using FolkArt brand paint (not the outdoor kind because it's too watery) and coating it with Krylon sealer. Looks amazing.

Hi Lydia~ Yes it can, however, go easy on the amount as too much spray will somewhat dull the sparkle of the glitter. It also works well as a type of glue when sprinkling glitter on just about anything.. it's especially gr8 4 large areas instead of using a white glue or something similar that has 2 be painted on. I'm The Queen Of Arts & Crafts & I use this often... Love this stuff! And don't freak out about what Joan (aahhh, was my Mom's name) said... Of course you would use it outside or directly by a window if weather is bad (too much humidity inhibits the drying process)... I've only killed a few brain cells from this product. Killed many more doing other fun things though! LOL! Fairy Kat Kreation's motto: Add some sparkle to your day and your blues will go away! Happy Holidays~ Jingle Bells & Purrs ~Kat~

I believe there are two separate paint colors (pink & purple) that sparkle a little, sort of a shimmer. All of the other colors are matte. There are also two gels that add sparkle to any paint design.

On regular or fine it works fine, however, I have never tried with a very course glitter. If the coverage is not enough you could always add some additional glitter with some liquid glue. I always use a spray sealer on the glitter after the glue dries. Good Luck.

Absolutely!!! I use these paints on everything and I mean everything!!! It comes out pretty nice whenever u want to do a Crackled effect. So if I may suggest something, perhaps it would be helpful if u go to an Arts store u most likely will pay over 12.00 dollars for a small bottle. Now i AM NOT CLAIMING THE INVENTOR OF THIS CRACKleD EFFECT, BC i LEARNED ON YOUTUBE. All you need is to first cover whatever it s u want crackled with "Elmer's Glue!! Now it 0nly costs .99cents... So apply one coat of Elmer's glue, then apply a coat of whatever color u like then all u have to do is Blow-dry!! It's that simple, and it comes out looking much better then even the crackled glue. I hope I was able to help...
