This guide is for artists and crafters looking for vibrant, opaque liquid paints for decorative surfaces. The key benefit is achieving a bright, glossy, and uniform finish on materials like terracotta, ceramics, and porcelain. A caveat is that it's specifically designed for these hard surfaces and may not be suitable for flexible materials. PEBEO's liquid paint in Cherry Red offers a rich color that dries to a hard finish and can be mixed for various effects, applicable through painting, drizzling, or pouring.

This paint is designed for porous, absorbent surfaces like terracotta and ceramics. It is not recommended for non-porous surfaces like glass, as it may not adhere properly or cure correctly.
Drying times can vary. For a touch-dry finish, allow a few hours. For a hard, uniform finish, it typically takes 24-48 hours. Ensure good ventilation.
It is best to mix PEBEO liquid paints with other PEBEO liquid ceramic colors for predictable results. Mixing with significantly different paint bases may affect the finish and durability.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared (clean, dry, dust-free). Apply a second coat once the first is dry, or use a primer on very porous surfaces.
Ensure the paint was applied in a well-ventilated area and at an appropriate temperature. Check for contamination or mixing with incompatible mediums. Allow additional drying time.
Opaque paints can sometimes appear lighter when drying. Ensure consistent application thickness. Test color mixing on a separate surface before applying to the final piece.
Setup:
No specific setup is required. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease before application. For porous surfaces like terracotta, a primer might be beneficial for a more uniform finish, though not strictly necessary.

It is not recommended for use on fabrics, flexible plastics, or surfaces intended for direct food contact. It can be mixed with other PEBEO liquid ceramic paints.
Care:
Allow the paint to dry completely according to product instructions (typically 24-48 hours for a hard finish). Once cured, the painted surface can be gently cleaned with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing, abrasive cleaners, or prolonged immersion in water, as this may damage the finish. For optimal longevity, handle decorated items with care.
