What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
Paint specifications are inconsistent or unclear in the listing: it calls the paint watercolour and describes it as dissolving in water, but also lists it as waterproof and water resistant, and gives a matte finish, a full cure time of 1 Hours, a dry time of 12, and coverage over 50 square feet. These details are unconfirmed and do not establish performance on paper, so check them if they matter to your project.
