Pébéo Setacolor Opaque fabric paint sets

Paint on light and dark fabric

Give a bag, T-shirt or cushion a personal pattern with opaque water-based fabric paint. Setacolor Opaque is intended for many light and dark fabrics. Choose six matt basic colours for an introductory project, twelve shimmer colours for light-catching details, or the larger Workbox for more paint and different tools. You receive one selected set, not all three.

Discovery Collection: six 20 ml bottles in white, lemon yellow, vermilion, denim blue, plant green and black. Shimmer Explorer: twelve 20 ml bottles in pearl, rich yellow, brick, passion red, violet, electric blue, turquoise, chlorophyll, chocolate shimmer, black, silver and gold. Workbox: ten assorted 45 ml bottles, a 20 ml Setacolor 3D tube, brush, palette, sponge and instructions. Fabric is not included.

Working with coverage and shimmer

The six-colour set gives a matt finish. The twelve-colour set gives a moiré shimmer that changes with the light; it is not glitter paint. Stir before use. Use paint undiluted for opaque designs. Diluting with water creates a more transparent watercolour effect and reduces coverage on dark fabric. Mix bottled paint colours together; treat the 3D tube as a separate decorating product.

Prepare and apply

Prewash the fabric and let it dry. Cotton, linen and suitable blends are useful starting surfaces. Test a scrap for paint adhesion and tolerance of the fixing temperature. Place protective cardboard between fabric layers. Paint with a brush or use your own stamps and stencils.

Drying, heat fixing and washing

Bottled paint: air-dry for about 1 hour and check that it is completely dry. Iron the reverse for 5 minutes on the cotton setting without steam, only if the fabric care label permits. After fixing, hand or machine washing up to 40 °C is possible; dry cleaning is not recommended. Follow the 3D tube’s own drying, fixing and washing instructions. Wash a combined design only when every product used allows it.
