Pixie Dust Mineral Paint Powder™ User Tips: There are times when we HIGHLYrecommend using an all-Natural/Non-Toxic paint such as ECOS PAINTS especially when it comes to painting anything that a baby or child might put their mouths on (cribs, cradles, etc.). They often require the use of water to thin out as well and anytime you add water to a product you can have issues with molding. As natural paints sit, they settle, and with paint settlement comes issues with hardening and drying out. Unfortunately, with natural products, that’s not always the case. With big brand latex options you are always going to get the same product. Here at Pixie Dust we are a big fan of Latex paints due to the durability and consistency of the paint. Generally, it’s not necessary to create a chalk like paint from a paint that is in a powder form such as milk, earth, or clay based paints as they already provide a matte finish that can be distressed. However Liquid Pixie™ would be a nice addition to cut any shine the paint may have. *Pixie Dust doesn’t recommend using the Paint Powder with powder base all natural paints. ![]() Olympic ASSURE (formally called ICON) (Zero VOC) $10 (Lowes)īehr Premium Plus (Zero VOC) $12 (Home Depot)Įcos Paints $25 (All Natural VOC and LATEX free) ![]() (Keep in mind that this paint has been stripped of its bonding agents and contains VOC’s, however with the addition of Pixie Dust, it’s a very low cost option) Here is a listing of paints that Pixie Dust recommends: When it comes to painting furniture, we always suggest using a ZERO VOC paint since most of the time the painting is being done indoors. However, some paints are clearly more toxic than others. There are many different brands of paints on the market today and all paints have a purpose. If you prefer the powder, just use a little extra in your mix to make the paint easier to work with and distress. However, we do realize that most samples come in eggshell or satin finish and Liquid Pixie™ was designed to accommodate these fun little jars of paint. We recommend using a flat paint, as it's easier to distress and provides a consistent matte finish. Pixie Dust products are designed for the DIY painter, who probably already has an inventory of sample jars or several quarts just waiting to be used. The type of paint you use is really up to you. ![]()
