Jacquard Lumiere Fabric Paint Pearlescent Blue 8oz — Light-bodied Metallic, Flexible & Colourfast

Jacquard Lumiere 8oz Pearlescent Blue is a light-bodied, metallic acrylic paint that delivers pearly shimmer and durable colour on fabric, wood, paper, ceramic, and metal.

Designed for makers who want a luminous finish without sacrificing flexibility, this pearlescent blue contains finely milled mica for depth and sparkle. Its light-bodied, opaque formula spreads smoothly for bold coverage on light or dark backgrounds and can be mixed with other Jacquard products for custom sheens. The pigment is lightfast and colourfast, so projects retain vibrancy through wear, washing, and exposure.

How does this paint behave on fabrics and flexible surfaces?

The Lumiere formula stays flexible after drying, resisting flaking, cracking, and peeling on items that bend or stretch. It adheres well to natural and synthetic fibres when applied correctly and heat set if needed for extra durability. Expect a soft-to-the-touch finish rather than a stiff plasticky film.

• Light-bodied for even hand-painting and detail work
• Remains flexible on fabric, leather, and canvas
• Can be heat-set for improved washfastness

What surfaces and techniques are best with Jacquard Lumiere?

This pearlescent acrylic is formulated to bond to a wide variety of craft substrates, so it’s suitable for mixed-media projects. Use it straight from the jar for screen printing, airbrushing, sponge painting, or hand-brushed details. It layers and blends well with other water-based Jacquard paints for nuanced metallic effects.

• Works on fabric, wood, paper, ceramic, metal, and leather
• Compatible with screen printing and airbrush systems
• Mixes with other Lumiere or Jacquard acrylics for translucency control

How opaque and lightfast is the pearlescent blue?

The paint dries to a mostly opaque, shimmering finish that reads vibrantly on both light and dark backgrounds. Jacquard’s pigments are colourfast and lightfast, so the pearlescent shimmer and blue tone remain stable over time under normal display and wear conditions. Layering lets you increase coverage or create pearly glazes for subtle highlights.

• Opaque on first coats for bold coverage
• Mica-based shimmer gives multidimensional sparkle
• Lightfast and colourfast for long-lasting results

How should I apply and care for finished pieces?

Apply with brushes, sponges, or airbrush; thin gently with water for washes or mix mediums for adhesion and flexibility adjustments. Allow each layer to dry fully before re-coating. For fabric items, follow Jacquard’s heat-setting guidance or machine-washing recommendations to extend longevity.

• Brush, sponge, screen print, or airbrush application
• Thin with water for translucent effects; avoid over-thinning
• Heat-set fabric pieces or follow washing instructions for care
