Ensure your canvas, paper, or wood surface is clean, dry, and properly primed. A primer like gesso will create a smooth base that enhances the paint's adhesion and metallic effect. — Prepare Your Surface 2. Squeeze the Metallic Purple paint onto your palette. Use a brush, palette knife, or sponge to apply. For maximum shimmer, apply evenly and consider a second coat once the first is dry. — Apply the Metallic Paint 3. This medium viscosity paint blends easily. Layer colors or use it for highlighting details. Experiment with different application tools to achieve varied textures and metallic effects. — Blend and Layer 4. Clean your brushes, palette knives, and other tools immediately after use with soap and water. Dried acrylic paint, especially with metallic particles, can be difficult to remove. — Clean Up ## Product details | Field | Value | |---|---| | Pigment Type | Fine Art Pigments with Metallic Effect | | Binder | Acrylic Polymer Emulsion | | Safety Certification | ASTM D4236 Certified | | Allergens | None listed | | Recommended Surfaces | Canvas, paper, wood, fabric, primed surfaces | | Application Method | Brush, palette knife, sponge | | Drying Time | Dries to touch in minutes, fully cured in days | | Cost per use | 118 ml tube at 1 g/day = 118 days — {{ccc_price_per_unit:118:day}} | | Shelf life after opening | 12 months | | Reapplication math | 118ml tube lasts ~118 days for daily face-only use | | Contraindications | Not recommended for direct skin contact; avoid ingestion. | | Allergens / common irritants | None listed | | Brand | Liquitex | | Product Name | BASICS Acrylic Paint | | Color | Metallic Purple | | Size | 118ml (4 oz) | | Finish | Satin Metallic | | Viscosity | Medium | | Pigment Type | Fine Art Pigments | | Country of Origin | Not stated by manufacturer — US retail version, sourced from authorized US retailers | ## Attributes - **Unit count:** 1 ## Frequently asked questions ### Is Liquitex BASICS Metallic Purple Acrylic Paint safe for children in India?
