Paint For Denim

Amsterdam Acrylics is the main brand I have used since 2017. They’re high-quality and permanent on denim when mixed with fabric medium and heat-set.

Fabric Medium

My Top Pick: GAC 900, 16oz

Fabric medium is a liquid that you add to your acrylic paint once you’ve mixed a color on the palette. Heat-setting fabric medium is what makes your painted denim wearable and washable!
