    Exclamation Paint for a top??

    Okay, so I keep forgetting that my local fabric and craft stores don't carry lummiere, but they do carry a generic brand of scribbles. Would thiis work for a scale bra??? Please answer ASAP!

    Thanx

    What kind of scale bra? As in latex or ALEX? Or fabric? For fabric you can also use other various paints besides lummiere. Any kind of acrylic paints (there are SO MANY), or screen printing paints to begin with. For latex or ALEX you would need Createx paint.

    fabric paint stays very nicely on fabric. Just be careful that you don't let puffy paint touch other puffy paint- it is known to stick together easily. Shouldn't be too big of a deal, but for long-term storage of the top (seasonal, unless you are lucky enough to have an indoor pool), you might want to take care.
    Good luck!

    Out of curiosity, what are you going to be painting the top like? A shell? Scales?

    If there aren’t any by now, I don’t believe there will be, as this thread is over 6 years old.
