Does acrylic paint come of of denim?

my friends and i had a little 'adventure' yesterday and ended up with handprints all over our pants and i dont want them to go away in the wash.Does acrylic paint come of of denim?
My paint pants I use for work are permanently splashed and printed in acrylics and I throw them through the wash all the time. I'm a mural artist.You may loose some- depends on how thick etc,but its pretty permanent. Next time try adding in Textile Medium- then its correct to use on fabric. If it washes out some you can mix up more and print them again or just touch them up with a little brush and paint. Turn them inside out to wash-it will help too.


PS another fun thing is use stickers (letters etc) on jeans and then spray them with bleach (be safe-put down old towells underneath-go outside), then rise them after about 5 mintutes and peel and scratch off stickers- they will stay dark and of course it will never come out. Put them throught e washer on a small separate load to make sure all the bleach is out after you rinse them---Does acrylic paint come of of denim?
Heat sets acrylic so if you want to keep it, let the paint dry completly first, and dry on high in the dryer. This should keep in there, and you should be able to wash it without losing the paint If you wanted to get it out, do the converse, wash/soak in cold water (not icy, that will make it stiff from the cold, just not hot.)
no... but handprints on jeans seems like a good idea, im gonna make millions!!
Wash in cold and don't use a full amount of wash soap. It will eventually several washes begin to peel off if not fully soaked into the pant . If you have lift you can recoat with the acrylic but make the paint watery so it will soak into the cloth. I have done several projects this way and have had good results
To keep the paint ON the denim, you should heat set it by either ironing it or throwing it in the dryer for awhile. The heat will help bond the paint into the fabric. To insure it lasts even longer, I would handwash the jeans rather than machine wash.
yes, soaking them works. but it's still a lot of work ripping the paint.





I usually use Alcohol (the one you use for medical care, don't know if other kind of alcohol works)





Try it.





I've used it to remove acrylic form walls, I'm pretty sure it works with fabric too.

NO!!!!! Freaking acrylic stains on everything!!!! I hate it!!!!
if it dried then it will be a hard nut, but worty givin a try...


here are my suggestion...let me know if it works! I like painting technology, so your reply will help my learning as well


suggestion


1) soak your clothes for 24 h or better more, and then try to peel the paint of, or rub it with a hard brush. A Russian friend of mine, was doins something simmilar, soaking old, painted canvasses for a week, to get pute textile, free of painting.


2) put the peace of cloth into deep freezer. and after few hours try to peel the paint off. This workd for chewing-gum,,,,so maybe it might help with paint as well


well these are the things that pomp into my mind right now. good luck...and maybe get a painting apron for Xmas...lol
