Tips and Tricks

  • Marabu Decormatt Acryl is lightfast and weatherproof after drying. Perfect for all outdoor projects!

How it is done:

  • First, the surface of the wooden figures should be sanded a little so that the paint adheres optimally. The play figures must be dry, clean and dust-free.
  • In the next step, mask off individual areas of the figures that are to be coloured with the painter's masking tape.
  • Then colour the figures as you like with the Decormatt colours. Let everything dry well and start playing!
