Can I use my own paint instead of the provided ones?

Yes! While our paints are custom-matched for the best results, you can experiment with your own acrylic paints if desired.

What size options are available?

We offer a variety of sizes, but the most common are: 12x16 in (30x40cm), 16x20 in (40x50cm), 20x24 in (50x60cm). Choosing a larger size enhances the level of detail in your painting.

How long does the paint take to dry?

Acrylic paints dry quickly, usually within 2-5 minutes. You can speed up drying time with a hairdryer on a low setting.

If numbers are still visible after the first coat, apply a second layer of paint for full coverage. For light colors, you can also use a white base coat before painting.

We do not provide previews by default, but our team ensures your image is perfectly optimized for painting. If you have specific requests, you can email us at sales@craftybynumbers.com before placing your order.
