Can I use Acryillic Paint on my interior walls for painting a faux chair rail? Or to do stripes?

Question

I need to know about acryillic paint, and if I can use it to paint a faux chair railing. Also I'm considering doing stripes above, and a dark color below, PLEASE let me know!! I live in an apartment so installing a chair rail is not practical! THANKS!

Answer 1

I have used acrylics on the wall several times. I love them. Very easy clean up if you make a mistake and the paint doesn't tend to bleed. Just be sure to start off with very little on your brush and slowly build up the color. Good luck!

Answer 2

Acrylic paint is no problem, it's commonly used for stencilling. It's not that tough, so should be avoided in areas liable to wear.

But why paint a chair rail? That sounds like hard work compared to using a faux wallpaper one. That would make the high and low colours easier too, as any slight irregularity in the join would disappear when you applied the border.

I found this one in brown quite quickly on-line, but someone should do one in white too, at the least.:

Answer 3

There are no rules in art. Paint it with deer blood if you want.
