Which paint is best for chipboard?

May '11 Tam7

I brought the shimmerz pink paint to use on a kaisercraft storage draw set and I tried it out tonight on the bottom of the draws and it's invisable!!! I'm going to paint it over some white acrylic and see if it's any better but I was just wondering if anyone out there could please tell me a nice pink paint to use on this project. Thanks

acryllic paint works better because it doesn't absorb. I just used the ones from WM or HL

I have covered chipboard with Glimmer Mist, but acrylic paint is my first choice. Better coverage IMO.

I do both, acrylic paint and then I glimmer mist most of the time. I have also used distressing ink. Depends on your project. If its something big that needs alot of coverage then I would go with acrylic paint. But like a small piece of chipboard you can just ink it.

I use acrylic paint or if I want to use sprays or inks I gesso first to seal it so it doesn't all absorb and look muddy.
