Pébéo Setacolor Shimmer opaque fabric paint 45 ml

Colour that catches the light

Pébéo Setacolor Shimmer is a water-based opaque fabric paint with metallic reflections. Its moiré colours give motifs on light and dark fabrics a subtle sheen that changes with the light. You receive one 45 ml bottle in the colour selected above, rather than a colour set.

Choose a colour and technique

Choose from 20 colours, from pearl and ivory to turquoise, plum, gold and copper shades. Keep the colour number for repeat purchases: 45 Gold and 62 Rich Gold are different shades. Colour 69 Electric Blue also belongs to the shimmer range. Use a brush for details, a stencil for repeated shapes or screen printing for a design you want to reproduce.

Prepare and apply

Prewash the fabric and stir the paint well. Suitable fabrics include cotton, wool, jersey, polyester and fibre blends. First check that the complete item can tolerate the required heat setting. Test on the same fabric to assess colour, coverage and sheen. Use the paint neat for a distinct shimmer effect and allow the painting to dry completely before heat setting.

Heat setting and care

Iron the reverse of the painted fabric for 5 minutes on the cotton setting, without steam. If the entire item can withstand it, an oven at 150 °C for 5 minutes is another setting method. The paint withstands machine washing after fixing; choose the wash programme according to the fabric care label and bottle instructions. Dry cleaning is not recommended.
