Can paint stay on sponge?

I have to paint this hard like sponge thats inside of my car on the door and was just wondering if paint was ok for it..Can paint stay on sponge?
yes y not?


@Can paint stay on sponge?
Are you talking about the stripping?
Yes it does
Yes acrylic would be good but it might take a few coats.
it will probably soak in...so I would say yes
Wouldn't it get absorbed ?

I just painted my livingroom walls pale green with mint green sponging on top now I don't like my tan curtains

any ideas on what colors to use I have a bow windowI just painted my livingroom walls pale green with mint green sponging on top now I don't like my tan curtains
chocolate brown is a popular color, and it would look nice with green, and with dark wood furniture if you have it.I just painted my livingroom walls pale green with mint green sponging on top now I don't like my tan curtains
I would use PEACH ';light';
I do this for a living. I'd suggest keep the drapes. Paint is cheaper.


Also KEEP the green bottom, but redo the top. Is there a chair rail?





Take the drape color if it's light and use as the base top color, then one or two shades off, sponge the texture over it.





Accents on the top can still be in complimentaries to the bottom color, but Tan/camel, and a forest green, or teal, bottom look elegant in the combination.





All this of course depends on your desire to keep the drapes,,,or not. I think however, the contrasts work best. Too much of the green might become OLD in time. That said,,, GREEN is my favorite color, but tempering it might be more appealing.





The good news, as I said, is that paint is relatively inexpensive, and can be changed at whim. Draperies might be more than you want to change with every attitude?

Bright white. It will give the room a crisp and clean look.
I would try something such as a striped green that matches and white. Or try something such as double layering. meaning, white goes well in general. Either way that you like, but I think the green on top and the white behind (or even an ivory color) would look better. But you get a double rod and buy two sets of curtains. You put one color on top and pull it back nice and tight, and the other you pull back so that it is a little looser so that it shows even though it is behind the other. You could also try getting curtains, and have the colors match the two colors on the wall. You can never go wrong in coordinating the colors of the curtains with the wall color. Good Luck!!
Deep rose always looks fabulous with pale green!
i had painted the dining room in my house an olive type green. white made it loo to formal, and pristine, then tried tan didnt like it. ended up going to peir one and found some multi colored curtains. they are stiped with reds, greens, tans yellows i then got some paintings and other accesories for the room that had the colors of the curtains in them to bring all the colors together
i would use a bright green color
i would go for yellow
what about adding a thick ribbon or material edging to the bottom of the curtain that has some pale green, cream print to tie them into the walls. could be a inexpensive way to tie it together
Add a pale/mint green valance to your window, that would accent your walls, to minimize your tan curtains, but not eliminate them!! If you like the curtain in general, but don't thing it'll go with your newly painted living room, that's ok, just accent your room with tan, add tan throw cushions to your sofa or a tan tossed throw over a chair in the room, to add some more tan to the room. Don't replace your curtains, if you can use more of that color!
A deep purple or blue would go well.
summer in coming why don't you try decorative sheers in the pale green
If you pick just the right decor or painting that can tie the tan and green together, it may magically look just perfect without having to change anything. This link has a green color palette along with some matching paintings that may harmonize the mix use of tan and green: www.decozee.com/pgreen.htm

Seeking rainbow pancake face/body paint in one container. Wipe with sponge and colours applied simultaneously?

This stuff is great as you just use a clean damp sponge and wipe it firmly on the pancake then wipe on a childs arm. The rainbow effect is instant and gorgeous. You can then decorate with glitter paint flowers or child's name. Quick and easy if you have lots of kids to paint! I live in Melbourne Australia and can't find this anywhere. Have tried largest theatrical make up stokist here with no luck. Perhaps you know of a big UK or USA store taht sells this on line to interational buyers???Seeking rainbow pancake face/body paint in one container. Wipe with sponge and colours applied simultaneously?
It's not made by any of the makeup companies, it's made by the sellers. Silly Farm Supplies - www.sillyfarm.com has it, and I'm pretty sure they're ship internationally.





Another hint is to use your brush to apply makeup to the sponge then sponge on :)Seeking rainbow pancake face/body paint in one container. Wipe with sponge and colours applied simultaneously?

What type of paint for sponging on glass jar? ?

Hi there,


I'm making light up pumpkins from jars and need to know of a paint that I can use on glass. I'm going to sponge it on so it isn't too opaque. The jar will have a single light bulb in it and will light up. Any ideas of what type of paint will work well?


Thanks!What type of paint for sponging on glass jar? ?
Try Ranger's Acrylic Paint. Or Ranger's Alcohol inks is another alternative - gives you very nice background patterns on glass. What type of paint for sponging on glass jar? ?
Actually I don't know if the brand of paint matters Acrylic is the obvious choice because it dries fast. If you do it without primer I'd make sure the glass is squeaky clean, a vinegar rinse should help.





Plaid has paint specifically for glass called Gallery Glass.


If you are going to keep these around after Halloween you should prime the surface so the paint sticks. Plaid also has a primer. If you plan on having the painting on the glass surface last, a sealer would be a good idea to help keep it from peeling off.

    Yes. Try painting a regular house cleaning sponge for a test. If it's flexible, get a flexible paint. Stop in your local auto parts dept and ask them. Good luck.Can paint stay on sponge?
    Glad I could be of service!
