DecoArt Satin Enamels Acrylic Paint, 8 Fl. oz. Jar, Deep Ruby (Pack of 1)

I use enamel paint for painting fishing floats/bobbers, made out of peacock quills and with pieces of bamboo skewer glued in with 2 pack epoxy glue, meaning I am painting 3 very different finishes.I'm as relatively new convert to water based paints, having previously used oil based as I was convinced they gave a better finish and would be more watertight.After a recent house decorating project, where I used water based for the first time, I decided to use acrylic for my next batch of floats.I chose this brand mainly because of the cost for the quantity of paint and it was quite well reviewed.I use this paint for the main 'body' of my floats, I paint the tips white, and then bright orange, and put some black rings on them. I have 4 different brand paints for 4 different colours, and this brand is the best out of them as it gives the best finish in regards to coverage, and the smoothness of the finish and this was on the quill, the bamboo skewer and the epoxy glue.Its quite thick in consistency (thicker than I expected), but I guess this helps with the coverage, I only needed 2 coats to get rid of any trace of the underlying white colour of the quill.The beauty of being water soluble is that its easy to thin by adding a touch of water if needed, and when done the clean up is so easy and there is next to no smell at all.I found the drying time to be touch dry in about 45 mins, and dry enough for a second coat in about 3 hours. (inside, in winter, in a centrally heated house).I'd aim to buy this brand when I want more of this kind of paint.Where were these kind of paints when I was a youngster making plastic Aixfix models?...!!!

Arrived faulty, was lumpy hard and totally unusable

Diese teure Farbe kann nicht verwendet werden. Völlig verklumpt. Dose war eindeutig nicht original verschlossen, Farbe eingetrocknet und zäh. Die Vakuumverpackungsfolie im Tiegel war nur aufgelegt. Ich kann nur abraten hier zu bestellen.Lieferkosten waren im übrigen auch unverschämt hoch - wenn dann wenigstens die Farbe zu verwenden wäre.....Verdient nicht mal einen Stern

impossible de s'en servir j' attend pour le remboursement a noté qu'il avait mis X temps pour arriver alors peut être la chaleur l'a rendu impropre a l'usage

These paints through Amazon are a crap shoot.I've bought DecoArts paints before and they were fine - although some have come half- empty.Some came in packages SOAKED with paint because they've been opened or used prior to my purchase.Some, as I said, are fine.If the package is clean, I have assumed the paint is intact, the jar is full.This red came as a solid brick in the jar - worthless.But I didn't open the jar until long past the time allowed for returns. That's my mistake.Don't make my mistake!
