Recommendations for the coloring of clothing and curtains:

1. The most important and main advice. Before you proceed to the direct painting of clothes, weigh all the pros and cons. Amateur painting is always a risk.
2. Know the composition of the fabric, because it depends on the composition of the canvas and the entire result of the painting depends:
   • if the fabric is natural, for example: a cotton, linen, jeans, then the painting is excellent;
   • if the fabric is mixed, the color will come out a little paler, for example, it will not be blue, but light blue.
   • if the fabric is 100% synthetics, there is a very high risk that the fabric will not stain at all, because with synthetic fabrics, the ink drains away from the cellophane and the product remains exactly the same shade as before painting.

Important! Please note that unfortunately, at the moment there are more cases when the composition that is written on the label does not coincide with reality.

1. Decide on the color. It is recommended to paint in colors that are slightly darker than the original shade of the fabric. For example, blue is best painted in blue or dark blue. Also do not forget to take into account the initial shade of the thing. Ideal if it's close colors. But if you white jeans paint in black, eventually you will get gray or dark gray, but not black.
2. Evaluate the final shade only on a carefully dried colored thing, because wet things are always darker.
3. If color is very important to you, paint a test piece of fabric that is the same in composition, dry and look at the result.
4. If you do not like the color of the paint you have prepared, do not risk it. In industrial conditions, the shades of paints are tested a large number of times, achieving the required color. At home, you only have 1 attempt.
5. Only use gloves. Wear gloves before opening the package with paint, if you decided not to use the options offered by us, but industrial solution. In the case of working with medical solutions, do not ignore the gloves either, so as not to think about how to wipe green or manganese from the skin.
6. Painting things according to the instruction that is written on the package on the packaging when using industrial dyes.
