Review of DecoArt 34 Color Value Pack Set, Americana

Customer Ratings:

I purchased an assortment of 12 DecoArt acrylic paints in the fall of 2011 to touch up my garden gnomes, etc. I just brought in my garden gnomes for their 2012 touch-ups and only 1 bottle of 12 is usable. However, I have 18 of 19 FolkArt brand that are 2-3 years old that are fine, and 10 of 11 bottles of Apple Barrel that are also in the 2 year old range. The paints are all stored in the same basket in the house at room temperature all year, so I suggest if you are using the DecoArt label on a regular basis they are probably fine, but if you "store and use occasionally" like I do, do not buy DecoArt...try FolkArt or Apple Barrel.

Excellent starter paint set here by DecoArt. ( Americana brand ) You get 34 colors and large 2oz bottle of the white and the black. This is acrylic paint so you dont need turpentine. Its just enough paint for minor detail workings and touch ups to have all shades at hand for a fast project and not have to buy 34 full size bottles. Its also a nice reference to have the colors you need in the future to match at the store via the bottle. The only drawback is the shades of each are not labeled to know which one you are using ( to buy more of that color ) Its a great value. Cant beat this price. Very happy with this set, small and compact sizes right at your finger tips; I should have bought this months ago had I known about it . 5 stars

I love this little sampler of varied paint colors. I had a few Christmas items to complete and was looking for variety without the investmant of larger bottles or the time-sink of mixing colors, this was the perfect solution.

This set provides more than enough product for major chalkware repair jobs and offers enough variety one can easily mix paint to match the original. Extra large white and black paint is included. Dries to a matte finish. Recommend using white gesso as a base before using IF you have a large area to repaint or repair. This allows the paint to bond better. No need for gesso for small chalkware/ statue repair. The DecoArt "Americana" series is recommended by many chalkware/ statue repair professionals.

I didn't have to guess at which single paints to buy in order to touch-up my chalkware. For me, price was right. If you need to repair in a hurry, I believe Jo-Anns and Michaels carries this set and the single paints at a slightly higher price.
