Acrylic Painting Tip #4 Sealing in Iridescent Acrylic Paints

Sealing in Iridescent Acrylic Paints

Be sure to test out the sealer/varnish you use if you are using iridescent paints.  I recently found out the hard way that the the spray on sealant/varnish I choose for my large acrylic piece muted and dulled the iridescent colors to the point of loosing all iridescent effect.  Grrrr. That was quite a lesson to learn.

Select your sealer and do a test spot on a different piece before you begin. See if it will hold up to what your requirements are for a sealer.
