Nicpro 18-Colour Permanent Fabric Paint Set, 250 ml Bottles — Soft Water-Based, Long-Lasting Colour

Whether you’re customizing a tee, updating a tote bag, or adding accents to cushion covers, this 18-colour collection gives you a wide palette of saturated shades in generous 8.45 oz (250 ml) bottles. The water-based formula spreads smoothly, bonds with fibres, and dries to a durable, waterproof finish without requiring heat-setting for many uses. Each colour is crafted to stay bright through regular wear and laundering when applied according to the product instructions.

How quickly will the paint dry and become washable?

The Nicpro fabric paint typically dries to the touch in a few hours and sets fully within 6–8 hours, depending on humidity and fabric thickness. Once dry, the paint forms a protective layer that resists fading and water exposure under normal washing conditions.

• Dry-to-touch: usually 2–4 hours in moderate conditions
• Full cure: generally 6–8 hours for everyday handling
• Wash care: follow gentle cycle, cold water, inside-out recommended
• No mandatory heat-setting for most fabrics — check delicate blends

What fabrics and techniques work best with this set?

These paints are formulated to adhere to a broad range of textiles including cotton, denim, polyester blends, and canvas. They suit freehand painting, stenciling, block printing, and mixed-media embellishment, giving makers flexibility for both precise designs and painterly effects.

• Best on natural fibres and heavy blends like denim and canvas
• Great for stencils, brushwork, stamp printing, and layering
• Compatible with accessories like patches and trims when sealed

How intense and permanent are the colours?

The 18-colour assortment includes vivid primaries and mixed tones engineered for high pigment density and strong coverage. When applied properly, the pigments resist fading and peeling, preserving saturated hues through repeated use.

• High-pigment formulation for bold, opaque results
• Good coverage on darker fabrics with fewer coats
• Formulated to resist water and everyday wear
• Layerable for colour blending and shading effects

Are these paints safe and easy to work with at home?

Nicpro fabric paints are water-based, easy to thin for washes or mix for custom shades, and clean up with soap and water while wet. Always work in a ventilated area and protect surfaces; spot-test new fabrics to ensure compatibility.

• Water-based formula for straightforward thinning and cleanup
• Non-greasy, soft-feel finish after drying
• Use a palette, mixing tray, or squeeze caps for controlled application
• Store upright and seal caps to maintain shelf life
