Pébéo Setacolor Opaque fabric paint 250 ml

Opaque colour for light and dark fabric

Paint bold motifs on fabric with water-based Setacolor Opaque. You receive one 250 ml bottle in your chosen colour, not a seven-colour set. These seven shades have an opaque matt finish: White 10, Cobalt Blue 11, Buttercup 13, Lemon Yellow 17, Black 19, Vermilion 26 and Red 80. Choose by colour code, especially when distinguishing the two yellows or two reds.

Prepare and decorate

Apply to prewashed fabric. The range is intended for many light or dark, fine or thick textiles, including cotton, wool, polyester and mixed fibres. Check the fabric care label before choosing a heat-fixing method. Place a protective layer between garment layers and test on a spare piece. Use a brush, stamp, stencil or screen-printing technique. The colours can be mixed; use undiluted for covering designs or dilute with water for watercolour effects. Dilution changes the effect, so test on the actual fabric.

Compare before decorating a garment

As a suggested trial, stencil the same small shape on two scraps of the intended fabric, using undiluted paint on one and a little water in the other. Record the colour code and dilution. Compare the dry edges and coverage, then fix and wash the samples before choosing the effect for the finished piece. This is a proposed workflow, not a claim of our own testing.

Dry, fix and wash

Allow to air-dry for about one hour. Fix from the reverse for five minutes with an iron on the cotton setting, without steam. Only use that method if the fabric tolerates the temperature. The alternative manufacturer method is five minutes in a household oven at a stable 150°C, for a suitable textile item. After fixing, hand-wash or machine-wash at 40°C when the textile care label permits. Dry cleaning is not recommended. Air drying alone does not replace heat fixing.
