Lumiere and Neopaque Extender

4/9/2010

Jacquard makes amazing products. This is the only acrylic paint I use on every material except for canvas & the only reason I don't use it on canvas is because I use a less expensive paint. It is absolutely perfect on leather & rubber.

The only complaint I would have is the drying time. It dries very quickly & can tend to be a little thick. Adding water can help though.

The metallic & pearlescent paints are especially beautiful & have a very nice finish to them.

They have an extensive color line, however, most are either bright or dark, so I would get A LOT of white if you mix & definitely get the extender!!

The extender will extend drying time & slightly thin out the paints. This means that you may need a few extra coats. Depending on how much you use, it may lighten colors just a little bit.

I reviewed this product on 4/9/10 & stand by what I said at that time, however, I have a little to add.

I mix the Jacquard paints with the extender in an air-tight container. I have noticed that when the paint sits for a few weeks, you have to add more extender b/c the paint gets it's regular thickness back (I guess from sitting). This isn't a huge deal to me, but due to the fact that the extender may lighten your colors, you should keep this in mind.

Lightens the color of the paint a bit. Perhaps may work well on the neopaque colors however makes the lumiere a bit transparent vs lightening the color. Perhaps this is what it is for & I misunderstood???
