FolkArt Multi-Surface Paint in Assorted Colors (2 oz), , Ocean View

The paint is good, no complaints. It was 3 times the price of many other 2 oz plastic bottles of acrylic paint. I didn't realize that when I bought it. Later when I ordered some other 2 oz bottles, I saw that many were only a few dollars, for no discernible reason. I don't get it!!

I'm not as much a fan of the "multi-surface paints as I am of the regular line of craft paints. The texture is weird -- sort of slightly glossy, but not truly -- and it lays down streaky and partly see-through. It also takes longer to dry and has an odor. If you don't need this for special surfaces, you will probably be way happier with the regular craft paints.

I used the FolkArt Multi-Surface Lavender to airbrush this sign I made for my wife. I diluted it with water about 75% paint and 25% water so it would spray better. I used a spray-can primer to prep the wood. I really liked the color.

This is a thicker craft paint. It has a lot of pigment compared to cheaper craft paint. It is thicker and while it does have an odor the smell is not strong and goes away after a few minutes. It is good for Tole Painting and One Stroke methods on paper, canvas, glass etc. It is for decorative painting and crafts. As a professional artist I would not use it for major Canvas work. It is a mid grade paint when compared to a student acrylic paint. The variety of colors, ease of use and flow of this bottled paint makes it great for the above mentioned substrates (surfaces). It has good opacity with only a few coats. I bought it specifically for painting on Clay pots.It worked well after sealing the pots inside and out with a clear acrylic sealer. 4 stars because it does have an odor and for those with sensitive lungs, breathing issues I suggest you smell one before investing in a lot of them.

I love Folk Art for painting my dollhouse and polymer clay sculptures, and this was a wonderful hot pink that I have used to paint wooden dollhouse walls, baked clay pieces, and even a plastic picture frame. Depending on the surface you will need to apply a few layers since this is a thinner paint, but I find that with the right brushes and waiting between painting new layers, you get a brilliant, opaque hot pink.My personal tip for making the surfaces look smoother after applying a few layers of this paint is any matte or glossy varnish, also applied in layers between drying.

This is a lighter shade of orange than what I saw on my screen, and there's no hint of any red being mixed into it. It's a light, bright orange like a kid would want to use to draw an orange at school. Coverage was ok. Result was not as intense as I'd hoped. Thickness was great. It's a good product, and I just mixed it with what I already had to get the shade I wanted. I'd buy it again.

I have used these paints for years. They hold up well outdoors on garden decorations and birdhouse, surviving a number of harsh winters before needing to be re-applied. For indoor art projects, they are very versatile, and can be thinned with water to create a watercolor look or used straight up in paintings and craft projects.

Perfect. Opaque. Smooth. I love the multisurface so much. I ran out of a cheaper brand of glass paint and I'm so glad I went with this brand as it covered the glass effortlessly. Made up this set of 8 wine glasses using nearly exclusively this brand.
