Recommendations for fabric paints on dark fabrics?
Hi, I have a question about fabric paints, hope someone can help out! I
co-own a small clothing company called Avalanche Kittie - we hand-paint shirts with various designs, you can see the sort of thing on our Ebay listings at the address below. http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Avalanche-K...ustom-Clothing So far, we have been using a brand called Setacolor for our dark shirts - we experimented with several other brands including Dylon, and out of them all Setacolor seem best for use on dark fabrics. A lot of paints designed for dark fabrics hardly worked, particularly yellow paints. I just wondered, does anyone know of a brand which will cover dark fabrics effectively in one coat? Perhaps we should use silk screening inks instead? Bear in mind we do not want to use silk screening or any other mass-producing technique, we paint each design on to the shirts by hand because we like the idea of every shirt being a one-off with somr randomness involved! Even the Setacolor Opaque paints tend to take 2-3 good coats before the base fabric no longer shows through, which really slows the process down. Any info/help would be most appreciated!
