Please take a moment to review all instructions on product packaging before beginning any project. PermEnamel, the only air-dry paint that does not require heat setting, is a polyester-based and DOES NOT mix with water. You may clean your brushes with soap and water between applications, but make certain they are completely dry before moving to the next color.
Steps:
- Surface preparation is very important. Clean plate with soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Apply PermEnamel Surface Conditioner with a clean, dry brush. Let dry. Do not rinse or wipe off.
- The design is painted on the backside of the plate. Size pattern to fit your surface. Tape the pattern facing the front of the plate so it shows through to the back.
- Use the liner brush to fill in the following areas. When sponging the paint on, start by tapping the flat end of the sponge into the paint and tapping excess off on plate. Pounce into the desired area applying an even coat. The paint must be dry before adding a second coat, a blow dryer will speed up this step.

Purple - Royal Purple with a dot of White - Mix to desired color
Lighter Green - Apply Candy Green with Citrus Yellow (1:1)
