Paint Doesn’t Cover SymbolsUpdated 2 months ago

When painting by numbers, you may sometimes notice that the numbers or symbols on the canvas remain visible after painting, especially with lighter colors. Fortunately, there are a few simple techniques to fix this issue.

How to Improve Coverage?

Follow these steps to ensure that the symbols are no longer visible:

✔ Step 1: Apply a First Layer Directly Over the Number
Paint a thin layer over the number first and let it dry completely before painting the rest of the section. This helps cover the symbols more effectively.

✔ Step 2: Use a Dry Brush
Make sure your brush is completely dry before dipping it into the paint. A wet brush can dilute the paint, reducing coverage.

✔ Step 3: Use Correction Fluid
Before painting, you can cover the numbers or symbols with correction fluid (such as Tipp-Ex). This prevents them from showing through the paint.

✔ Step 4: Let Each Layer Dry Fully
Ensure that the first layer is completely dry before applying a second coat. If the paint is still wet, it may mix and reduce coverage.

By following these simple steps, you'll achieve a flawless final result without visible numbers or symbols.
