Paint Care Recommendations 

Please be advised that the paint supplied as part of your kit does have a shelf life. This can vary and largely depends on the conditions your paint kit is stored in and if the paint lids are opened.

We recommend following our guidelines below to help keep your paint in the optimum condition for the duration of your painting experience.

Paint Shelf Life

  • If paint lids remain unopened the paint should last up to 6 months
  • If paint lids have been opened complete your painting within 3 months

Storage 

  • Store your Paint Kit in a cool, dry place
  • Always ensure the paint lids are properly sealed before packing your kit away

Tip for Adjusting Paint Consistency

If paint consistency appears too thick or a bit dry you can loosen with a small drop of water. We recommend using an eye dropper as this can be helpful to control the amount of water you use. 1-2 drops should be enough.

Australian Shipping

Maximum 4 PBN kits per transaction. If you wish to purchase more than 4 PBN kits you must complete separate transactions in groups of 4. International shipping prices are more cost effective if you purchase more than a single kit.
