Second Place: Craft Smart Acrylic Paint by Michaels
A paint that delivers great quality at an affordable price! It is ideal for simple base coats and a multitude of craft projects. Designed to brush out smoothly and evenly, it covers in one or two coats and dries quickly to a soft matte finish. This versatile acrylic paint is perfect for general arts and crafts, stenciling, ceramics, school projects, home decorating and decorative painting. It adheres to most surfaces: canvas, fabric, paper, cardstock, poster board, wood, metal, ceramic bisque, terra cotta, resin, plaster, polymer clay, Styrofoam and more. Craft Smart Acrylic Paint is nontoxic, permanent, water based, intermixable and cleans up easily with soap and water. Shake well and apply with a synthetic or sponge brush.
For an inexpensive craft paint, this paint performed really, really well. The color is smooth, coverage was full, with little to no brush lines. This paint took second pace because although I got decent coverage with one coat, if I were working on an important project or something where coverage really mattered, I think I would need to apply a second coat to ensure my paper did not peep through the paint.
Here is my test swatch:
At $.59 for a 2 fl oz bottle, this paint offers OUTSTANDING comparative value. This paint has a ton of colors so for that price, you could try dozens of colors without breaking the bank.
Is a coat of primer needed under this paint? I am painting a wood chair.
