5976 Rosco Supersat Acrylic Paint - Brilliant Red

Dilution

Rosco Supersaturated Paints should be diluted at least 1:1, with water, Rosco Clear Acrylic Glazes, or a combination of the two as necessary. Therefore, one litre of paint becomes at least two.

A 1:1 ratio will give you deep colours for more opaque applications. Diluting more heavily - up to 15:1 (water:glaze/paint) - will allow for shading techniques, translucent colour effects and “glazes”.

The ability to achieve so many different shades from just one container of paint, makes Supersaturated a versatile and economic choice for any scenic painting project, especially for large scale productions - on stage, or in the film & TV studio.

Flexible Binder

Supersaturated is a flexible vinyl paint, making it the ideal solution for painting backdrops for photography or theatre onto a flexible surface that might become subject to folding or rolling. Works on wood, plaster, metal, brick, stone, plastics, vinyls, muslin and other fabrics. It can also be painted onto Rosco Dance Floor. Create immersive backgrounds that can be rolled away and stored for another production and will resist cracking over time.

It is designed to maintain its binder strength while being diluted, however, diluting with more than 5 parts water may reduce adhesion. In this instance, add in Rosco Clear Acrylic Glaze as needed, to restore adhesion and flexibility.

Matte Finish

Its flat, matte finish ensures that Rosco Supersaturated Paint won’t look glossy when lit. Your scenic painting won’t reflect stage or studio lights, and can therefore be lit realistically and effectively to blend into the scene.

Dilution: Dilute at least 1:1 with water, Rosco Clear Acrylic Glaze or a combination of the two as necessary. Diluting will reduce the color concentration and create "glaze" effects. Diluting with more than 5 parts water may reduce binder strength. Add in Rosco Clear Acrylic Glaze to restore adhesion and flexibility.

Surface Preparation: Surfaces should be clean, dry and free from dirt and grease. Prime porous surfaces, except fabrics, using Rosco Tough Prime. If painting a new plaster surface, prime wall with a commercial primer/sealer designed for raw plaster. Then use Rosco Tough prime as a final preparation.
