Decola metallic textile paint 50 ml, copper, gold or silver

Paint metallic accents on fabric

Decola Metallic Textile is a water-based acrylic paint for copper-, gold- or silver-coloured effects on cotton, silk and suitable synthetic fabrics. Paint lettering, borders or details within a fabric motif. Apply it with a brush, sponge or stamp, or work through a stencil. The jar paint allows you to paint shapes; a sample on the same cloth helps you assess the sheen and colour effect.

One 50 ml jar in your chosen metallic colour

You receive one 50 ml jar: choose 964 Copper, 965 Gold or 966 Silver. The three colours are sold individually, not together as a set. The colour names describe the metallic colour effect. Fabric colour and lighting affect its appearance, so choose by the result on your own material as well as the screen image. Brushes, stamps and textile diluent are not included.

Prepare fabric and paint

Prewash the cloth without fabric softener, let it dry and iron it smooth. Put card or film between garment layers to prevent bleed-through. Stir the paint thoroughly and test on a piece of the same fabric, especially with synthetics. The material must tolerate the required fixing heat.

Paint, stencil or stamp

Apply thin, even layers with a brush, sponge or roller. Use little paint with a stencil to reduce seepage beneath its edges. For lower colour intensity and better flow, use Decola diluent for textile acrylics. Wash tools promptly with water and close the jar firmly.

Fixing and washing

Allow 24 hours to dry. Then iron for 5 minutes on the cotton setting, without steam and with a cotton cloth between the paint and iron. Do not simply lower the temperature for delicate cloth: the fixing method must suit it. Wait at least 48 hours after ironing, then hand wash gently at 30–40 °C with a mild liquid detergent, avoiding vigorous rubbing.
