Question:

Can you paint aluminum foil using acrylic paints?

I am using Reeves Acrylic Colour Set and I plan on painting on Heavy Duty Ralphs Brand Aluminum Foil. Will the paint be able to go on the foil well? Tips? Thank you.

Answer:

i use aluminum foil to mix colors on and when it dries it DOES stick, however, it will scratch off really easy. just try experimenting. what do u need the foil for? maybe you can try the aluminum foil leaves? the flakes that you put ontop on the art instead of under it. that way you can glue it on and dont have to worry about it scratching off. foil looks beautiful on paintings :) how it turns out great
