How do I mix FolkArt Pouring Medium with FolkArt Acrylics Paints? What is the best ratio of paint to medium?

Can I mix FolkArt® Chalkboard Paint with water, mediums or acrylic paints?

Yes, FolkArt® Chalkboard Paint can be mixed with other FolkArt® Chalkboard Paints to achieve a different color palette.

Can I mix FolkArt Extreme Glitter with extender or water?

Will I be able to mix my FolkArt Multi-Surface Satin Acrylic Paint to create a new color or value?

Yes, even though there are a wide range of colors to choose from, they can be mixed easily to create any value you desire. However, we do suggest only mixing within the same formula. The paint easily cleans up with soap and water while still wet.
