Distress Paint - by Tim Holtz and Ranger ... Choose any 1 (one) bottle (1 fl oz, 29ml with flip cap lid) from all the colours in this wonderful range of unique water-reactive acrylic paint dries permanent on most surfaces. 

About the Distress Paints ...
The Tim Holtz Distress paints are unique all-surface mixed media acrylic paints that behaves like watercolours and gouache paints while wet, then once dry, are permanent on most surfaces including metal, glass, plastic, fabrics, stone, paper and more. Its a fantastic paint for colouring embellishments, making backgrounds and adding splash of colour to your crafts.

Distress Paints are made by Ranger, using a water-reactive fusion of paints and pigments that creates a splattery, bubbly watercolour effect when sprayed or wet with water or other inks. The colours are opaque and dry with a matte finish.

Retired colours - any Distress colours not listed above have been discontinued and are not available anymore. The following are all we have left in retired colours. These two colours may be elderly (over 1 year old), however, they are kept in the dark (so won't fade or change in colour, not that they seem to do this at all which is fantastic) and besides, Distress Paint seems to last forever when stored correctly. I have bottles over 10 years old that still behave beautifully :) Just fyi, in case you were wondering about buying old stock.

- Dried Marigold (light peachy orange) ...  5 left

More Tips and Info ...
Shake well before opening the bottle.
Use these beautiful versatile paints with a brayer to apply to your favourite acrylic, rubber and foam stamps, through stencils, smoosh on craft mats and or apply direct to surfaces. Blend using ink blending tools and foams, blending brush, detailer foam tips, craft sheet, paintbrush or waterbrush.

Add a splash or spray of water to get the reactive distress bubbly look. 
Add heat embossing to the mix by sprinkling on the powder while the paint is wet, shaking off and heating gently until the powder melts (all sold separately). 

Great for colouring and altering Idea-Ology metal, embellishments, fabrics (may need a fabric medium if you want a washable design - test first). Dries permanent on most surfaces.

This product price includes 1 (one) bottle Distress Paint in the colours of your choice.
Each bottle is 1 fl oz (29ml) in size with flip top lid.

The swatches in the photo are a representation of each colour and different devices may alter their appearance. Once the discontinued colours are sold out, they will be deleted from the list above. Thankfully we have an abundance of non-retiring Distress Paint Colours to use every day :)
