FAQs

What is the difference between Permanent Orange and Pyrrole Orange?+
Permanent Orange (PO36) is a clean, mid orange. Pyrrole Orange (PO73) is a stronger, redder orange.
How do I tone down a bright orange?+
Add a tiny amount of blue, its complementary colour, for warm, muted oranges and browns.
Can I thin heavy body acrylic?+
Yes. A little water loosens it for brushwork. For glazes and fluid layers, use Flow Medium, which thins the paint while keeping a strong, flexible film.
How do I keep acrylic paint fresh in a jar?+
Scoop out only what you need with a clean palette knife, wipe the rim and close the lid tightly. This keeps air out and stops the paint skinning over.

Lightfast & Archival Quality

Artists can paint with confidence knowing Solid Solutions Heavy Body Artist Acrylic Paints are engineered for excellent permanence and lightfastness. Lightfastness refers to a pigment's resistance to fading or colour change when exposed to light - a critical factor for archival artwork. Durable acrylic films combined with stable artist pigments help ensure artworks retain their true colour balance and integrity for years under normal display conditions.

Clean up & storage

Clean up
Wash brushes and palette knives with soap and water while the paint is still wet.

My hardest worker on my palette

I added permanent orange to my kit a couple of years ago when I got a jar as a bonus with an early order from Solid Solutions. Since then this has opened up the possibilities of my palette, often replacing red, giving me a great range when mixed with my blues for darks and neutrals

Really interested in putting more time into it

Hi guys

Im a sign writer from Perth and do trad signs so all with a brush ect. To try keep it short, your black is really impressive, great coverage and lovely and slick once palettes, I did add some flotrol to it and that helped it come off the brush nice, I was hoping for a bit stronger pigment in the colours ( I’ve only tried the orange and yellow) as sign writers we are always hunting for “1 shot” alternatives especially in the acrylics. I honestly haven’t used it enough to see what the paint “likes” , I was actually going to try it today coz I used some of the Nicker products yesterday and I instantly thought of you guys and thought hmm maybe it wants to be really thin. I would love feedback and info of how it was designed to use because I’ve been working with paint for 20years more in a trade aspect and I k know, you can’t right things off first go you need to see what the paint wants. Because honestly if we can make it work I’d buy alot of it. I don’t care about “0h I import this from Japan” I don’t care. If I can buy from an Australian company and it was easy to get . I’ll go all in and tell everyone 😂 . Sorry for the rant but all I and my mates just want fair price paint, that’s easy to get and we can trust. And it’s really hard, sadly. Thanks anyway I look forward to playing with your product more and if you have any suggestions or info you can share that would be fantastic- Ted , [****]
