Questions and Answers for DecoArt Dazzling Metallics 2 oz. Shimmering Silver Acrylic Paint

A:  Yes, it can, but if mixed with any other manufacturer's acrylic or medium other than DecoArt, we cannot guarantee results. However, be advised that mixing Dazzling Metallic with another opaque acrylic paint very well may mute the metallic effect. -DecoArt Paint Guru

A:  The Venetian Gold can be applied to metal. However, it is not formulated to stand up to water or outside elements by itself. We highly recommend using a water-based sealer over the Dazzling Metallics for water resistance and longevity. DecoArt Paint Guru

A:  Not sure what's you're painting but I would contact the manufacturer directly- some top coats, especially aerosols will strip the paint right off

A:  I don't think a top coat is necessary in the Bedroom. In the Kitchen perhaps.

A:  We have not tested this paint on a foil balloon, so we cannot guarantee results with regard to adhesion to the slick surface. Also, we would not recommend this paint because it dries hard, so there's no flexibility with the balloon surface and would crack. -DecoArt Paint Guru

A:  Hello Milton, Thank you for your question. Yes you can use this on a foil balloon. It may take a couple coats to get decent coverage. It may chip off over time due to the surface being so slick the adhesion will not be that great. But if you want it for a party and the balloon isn't going to be handles a lot than you should be just fine.
