Fabric paint / House paint

    Hey,

    I'm painting a men's black suit with thick white strips for a fancy dress party.

    Is fabric paint expensive? I don't want to pay llots for a costume that will never be worn again. I'll need quite a bit.

    What would ordinary white paint (for walls, etc...) look like painted on the suit?
    Now its not a neat job or anything, if anything it will look better the messier it is!

    :confused::confused::confused:

    Suggestions please...

    Thanks

    If you got those little sample pots of wall paint it would be cheaper and take less time, you have to iron fabric paint to fix it so if it won't be worn again the wall paint is easier. =)

    Hi,

    I would just use acrylic paint or regular 'house' paint. Fabric paint can be expensive and only comes in small quantities.:)
