I'm looking for non-toxic, inexpensive, easy-to-work-with paint for a mural in my son's bedroom.  Is latex the best?  If so, how can I keep it from peeling when I use painter's tape?  Any other suggestions?Best type of paint for a wall mural?
on all the murals I have done I use the acrylic paint that i use for stenciling or ceramics.  They come in a variety of colors.  For protecting I spray a clear coat over it.  It cleans up nicely and doesn't damage all my hard work.Best type of paint for a wall mural?
I use acrylics - in the little bottles, not tubes. They work great. I have heard that painting over the edges of the painters tape with a clear acrylic or polyeurathane BEFORE you paint the mural will help the paint to stay put. But I don't use painters tape. Experiment with a small section! Have fun!!!
