recommended uses for Lumiere/Neopaque Fabric paints:
- latex, actrylic fabric paints that provide total coverage on any textile, whether the fabric be of natural fibers, syntheses or fabric blends (including leathers and ultrasuede).
- self setting on silks, but other types of fabrics require curing and final setting with a hot iron.
- very fast drying fabric paints.
- versatile paints, also effective on leather, paper, wood and paint canvases.
- good companions with Colorhue dyes because neither require additives or setting procedures.
- applied similarly as other acrylic paints, with brushes or applicators.
- easy to apply images to fabrics with processes such as: paint, screen, stencil, marble and stamp.
- are color fast, launder with mild soaps and air dry or use the dryer on low heat.
Using Colorhue dyes in conjunction with Lumiere/Neopaque paints
The Colorhue and L/N paints are a perfect compliment to each other and marry very well.
- It is possible to dye white fabrics first, let them completely dry, then apply L/N paints for imaging purposes. When the L/N paints have completely dried to the touch, Colorhue can then over dye (the previous dyes and paints), to achieve wonderful ‘antique’ patinas.
- Or apply the L/N images to the white fabrics first, dry to the touch and then proceed to dye the fabrics.
- The L/ N will cover any of the dyed colors but will accept colors of the Colorhue over dyes, in a transparent manner.
Lumiere is:a latex, acrylic paint specially formulated with finely ground metallic pigments that give an elegant sheen to surfaces.
Neopaque Is: the same paint formula as the Lumiere but offers basic opaque colors without the added metallic.
