FAQs

How much glitter additive should I use?

Add 100g (3.5oz) of glitter per 1 Litre (Quart Gallon) of paint.

Can I use this glitter additive with any type of paint?

Yes, it is compatible with interior emulsion, acrylic, latex paints, wood varnish, and lacquer.

How do I clean the painted surface?

Gently wipe the surface with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Is the glitter safe to use?

Yes, it is non-toxic, vegan, animal cruelty-free, and fully recyclable. It is also certified to several safety standards (BS EN71-3, ASTM F963-17, BS EN 1122:2001, EC No. 1907/2006 (REACH)).

Do I need to prime the wall before applying the glitter paint?

It depends on the condition of your walls. If the walls are in good condition, priming may not be necessary. However, priming can help with paint adhesion and provide a better base for the glitter paint.

How long does it take for the paint to dry?

Drying time depends on the paint you use. Always refer to the paint manufacturer's instructions for drying times.

Can I use a paint sprayer?

It is generally not recommended to use a paint sprayer due to the potential for clogging. Brushing or rolling is advised.

Is the glitter fade-resistant?

Yes, the glitter particles are designed to be UV, heat, solvent, and fade-resistant, maintaining their sparkle over time.

Troubleshooting

Uneven Glitter Distribution

Ensure thorough mixing of the glitter additive with the paint before application. Stir the mixture frequently during painting.

Insufficient Sparkle

Apply a second coat of the glitter paint, allowing the first coat to dry completely.

Glitter Settling in the Paint

Stir the paint frequently during the painting process to keep the glitter evenly distributed.
