it is when the top and bottom fade away
yes, I just tried it today and it works. It might fade after to many washes. But just dont spray to much in one area because the shirt then gets really hard and crusty. I suggest doing it on a plain white shirt.
No, there is no exterior paint that will not fade, however, your color will last longer if you purchase the highest quality 100% acrylic paint that you can afford. Also, have the paint salesman show you colors that are not fade-prone and ask them to reformulate them so that they are only using organic colorants which are much less fade-prone than the synthetic colorants that include bright reds, daisy yellows, magenta and some umbers. Some colors are inherently quick to fade so avoid the bright reds, violets and bright yellows.
Interior paint is more porous and less resistant to the elements than a paint actually devised to use outside. A flat paint finish or a satin paint finish is better outside, a gloss paint finish can also be used but only sparingly, as it reflects light and may highlight more flaws.
The only over-the-counter additive you could put into interior paint to make it more suitable for outside use is mildewcide. Interior paint doesn't really know that where it is going though. The reason a paint is classified as interior is because it is able to withstand cleaning. staining and scrubbing. Exterior paint, on the other hand, is formulated to withstand several freeze/thaw cycles and to hold up to UV rays, slowing the color fade. Avoid fade prone colors and expect to repaint withing three to five years.
