Some paints (automotive) don't get a shine until the surface is sealed with a clear coat. Other paints, depending on their formulas self-level and produce a very slick surface. Some paints need progressively finer sanding and waxing to get a shine.

The binder of the acrylic paint is called "acrylic polymer emulsion," and it can be found in different forms, which can be referred to as the "acrylic mediums".

Acrylic paint is fast drying that contains pigment suspension in acrylic polymer emulsion. This type of paint can be diluted with but are resistant to water when they dry. A finished acrylic paint can resemble an oil or water colour painting depending on how much the painting is diluted or modified with acrylic gels or pastes.


Will acrylic paint on yarn make it stiff?

The short answer is a qualified yes.-If you put acrylic wall paint on a single strand of yarn (natural fiber or synthetic), the yarn will be encased in a paint that will make it more rigid, and the paint will crack if you bend the yarn.- If you put acrylic wall paint on knitted yarn (for example a sweater) the acrylic will sit on the surface and dry to a hard finish. When the yarn bends (in the washer or in use) the paint will crack and eventually start to flake off, although it will not all come off.- If you put acrylic craft or artists' paint on a single strand of yarn, you will get the same result as above.- If you put acrylic craft or artists' paint on knitted yarn, yo will also get the results above.*Note*- If your desire is to paint on a knitted piece and have the yarn stay flexible, there is a paint medium used for fabrics (you can find it at most craft stores) that will make the paint more flexible and adhere better.

There are two ways. One way is the paint editor. There is a paint style that makes a slimy look. The original color should be green. Just click that and change it to whatever color you want. The second way is to press "paint like" and paint it like another creature that is shiny.
