🪑 Real-Life Use

Updating home décor pieces with a subtle pop of color
Painting upholstery or fabric while keeping it soft
Example: A velvet sofa was painted using a 1:4 paint-to-water ratio and required three coats. Six years later, the color remains vibrant and the fabric is still soft—no reupholstery needed.

💧 Application Tips
"Move the paint with water" for smooth blending
Use a continuous misting bottle to lightly dampen your brush or surface
Dilution options:
Up to 1:10 (paint to water) without losing color vibrancy
Many users prefer a 1:1 ratio for standard applications
For fabric (like velvet): approx. 1:4 ratio, applied in multiple coats
🛠️ How to Use
Clean and dry the object to be painted
Stir paint (often minimal stirring is needed)
Apply one coat and allow to dry (15 minutes to a few hours depending on climate)
Apply a second coat if needed
Allow paint to dry completely
Wait 24 hours to cure
Seal with a DIY Paint finishing product (such as clear wax or Big Top) to enhance durability and bring out the depth of color
