Decola pearlescent textile paint 50 ml, choose your colour

Pearl shimmer for painted fabric motifs

Decola Pearlescent Textile is a water-based acrylic paint for a coloured pearl sheen on cotton, silk and suitable synthetic fabrics. Use it for shimmering lettering, stencilled motifs or accents within a painted pattern. A brush, sponge or stamp lets you apply defined shapes. This textile acrylic is for controlled painting rather than the free-flowing effects of a thin silk paint.

One chosen colour in one 50 ml jar

You receive one 50 ml jar in your selected colour, not a nine-colour set. Choose by colour name and code: the pearl version gives a different effect from regular Decola textile colours. Assess the colour and sheen on a sample of the same cloth first; the base fabric and lighting affect its appearance. 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.
