      A:  Our Americana paints are not formulated for adhesion to glass. We would recommend our Americana Multi-Surface Satin paints - they are formulated to adhere to glass and can also be baked for dishwasher safe finish. Refer to baking directions on bottle or our website @ www.decoart.com -DecoArt Paint Guru

          Answer This Question

          A:  For color purposes only...yes, you can mix the Americana acrylics with Chalky Finish. However, they are different resins, so mixing diminishes the properties of the Chalky paint that allows it to be sanded, distressed, etc. We would highly recommend that you mix two Chalky colors to achieve the look you're after, since they are both compatible. -DecoArt Paint Guru

            Answer This Question

            A:  After examining DecoArt's website, I would recommend Blue Mist, Light French Blue, or French Gray Blue. Alas, I could not find these tints on THD's website. The closest ones to blue gray THD has appear to be Winter Blue (light) and Williamsburg Blue (dark). I hope this helps!

              A:  The closest active color that we have to blue gray is DA178 Blue Mist. Please pull up that color on HD.com and see if that will work for you. -DecoArt Paint Guru

                Answer This Question

                A:  Yes, it is. I usually varnish over a finished piece.

                by|Mar 27, 2019

                  A:  I use it for decoritive painting and have had no problems with it coming off. If your worried about it, you could use a sealer, especially if its going outside.

                  by|Mar 27, 2019

                    A:  Yes, it does dry permanent. If used in a high traffic area, we encourage you to seal it with a water-based sealer. -DecoArt Paint Guru
