Why are normal paints not suitable for painting on fabric?

The art paints that we find on the market and generally use for painting on paper are mostly water-based paints, so they are not suitable for painting on fabric, as they will disappear with the first wash.

Another option is acrylic paints, however, although these may seem durable on fabric, after several washes, they may lose pigmentation on the fabric and fade away.

This is why at Panafargo, you can find fabric paint in Medellín, ideal for painting on fabric and thus preventing it from coming off over time.

How does Medellín fabric paint work?

Most paints that can be purchased at a stationery store; act on the surface, that is, a layer of paint is created on the surface. But fabric paints work in a different way, because it is necessary that they can withstand several washes and the deformation of the fabric, in this case the paint adheres to each fiber of the fabric and pigments it, in this way, the paint is not easily removed.

Thanks to this, you definitely need to buy Medellín fabric paint if you want a long-lasting result on fabric.

Is it easy to paint on fabric?

Fabric is a different surface, which is why before making any design directly on the fabric, it's best to do a test on a similar piece of fabric where you can make mistakes. As we mentioned earlier, there are many varieties of fabric paint in Medellín, and because of this, depending on what you want to do, you will choose one or another. On the internet you can find different tutorials that help you make your first strokes on fabric in an optimal way, and thus, you will acquire the technique to finally be able to paint on the fabric you want to modify.

Does fabric paint run?

Yes, fabric paint can run, but several factors influence this process. The quality of the paint, the type of fabric, the prior preparation of the fabric, and the application method are crucial.

To minimize the risk of the paint running, it is advisable to follow these tips:

• Select quality paints: opt for paints specifically designed for fabric, as they usually have better adhesion and resistance to fading.
• Prepare the fabric: wash and dry the fabric before applying the paint to remove any residue that could interfere with adhesion.

• Fixatives and sealants: some fabric paints require fixatives or sealants after application to increase durability and wash resistance.
• Careful application: apply the paint evenly and avoid saturating the fabric. Also, allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next.
• Wash carefully: always follow the care instructions for the fabric and paint. Some paints may require hand washing instead of machine washing, and it is essential to use cold water.

Although there is a possibility that fabric paint may run, taking precautions and following the specific recommendations for each product can help maintain the quality and resistance of the paint over time.

How long does fabric paint last on garments if they are washed constantly?

The durability of fabric paint on garments when washed constantly can vary depending on several factors, such as the quality of the paint, the type of fabric, the application method, and subsequent care. In general, high-quality paints specifically designed for fabric tend to have better wash resistance and can last longer compared to lower-quality ones.

To extend the life of the paint on garments, it is recommended to follow these tips:

• Gentle wash: use a gentle wash cycle and cold water to minimize paint wear.
• Hand wash: if possible, hand wash painted garments instead of using a washing machine to avoid excessive wear.
• Air drying: air dry garments instead of using a dryer, as heat can affect the durability of the paint.
• Iron with care: if it is necessary to iron the garment, do so inside out and at a low temperature to avoid damaging the paint.
