Writing (painting) over a t shirt graphic.

[JOSHBEE]

Can anyone suggest a paint that would allow me to write over both the fabric and also a printed graphic of a t shirt? Are there spray mediums that are store available (not requiring and airbrush)?

Thanks

If you are going to use plastisol inks just be aware that they have to be cured. If you are doing this at home you can use your home oven (not recommended, but if that is all you have it will work). Plastisol cures at 320 degrees. As soon as it reaches that temp. it cures...or becomes hard.

You can buy it at any screen printing supply store.

Use housepaint.

Gloss or emulsion both cover anything but make sure it is water based. It doesn't need curing and won't come off - ever.

Remember when you once got a smudge of housepaint on your trousers and you had to trash them? You don't need fancy ink. Paint is even non-toxic when dry and comes in any color.

Once again, housepaint.
