    cant help with the poly cotton material, but you will get acrylic paints in basic colours in aldi for about a fiver....(the real artist in here are probably cringing now!!!!)

    maybe gouache rather then acrylics might be cheaper. Evans is a good bet either way :)

    Well it's going to be for football 2-stick banners, so it will the paint "adapt" as good as acrylic does?

    Where is Evans?

    Evans is in st mary's lane (between jervis luas and the four court stations) and the lane is beside smithfield food market (big old red building) on the right hand side of the road coming from jervis. they're only open 9-5 weekdays and 9-1 saturdays but well worth a visit :)!
