How to paint jeans in a dark blue, black color?
Most often, jeans are painted in dark blue, as well as black. Please note that the most difficult thing is to paint multi -colored jeans or clothing, which is painted in red or burgundy. In this case, you will first need to discolor the fabric. To this end, purchase a special solution for the fabric, carry out discoloration. We do not recommend using the chlorine, because it has a less pronounced effect than that of special fabric products.
Instructions:
- In order to cope with staining, I recommend choosing a deep pan, pour water and bring to a boil. After that, the bleach is spilled out and jeans are placed. It is necessary to constantly stir the product in order to be evenly discolored.
- Before loading jeans into the pan, it is necessary to wash them thoroughly in the washing machine and remove the spots. After that, you can start bleaching. Please note that jeans will not become white, they can become beige, or some dirty color. This is quite normal and it will be enough for the dye to be well absorbed into the fabric. After that, it is necessary to rinse jeans in warm water and wash in a washing machine with a soft detergent. After that, staining is carried out directly. Buy a dye for black fabric in a given amount.
- On average, jeans weigh approximately a half -kilogram, respectively, for staining you will need 10 liters of water, a bottle of paint or three bags of powder. Please note that it is best to purchase staining products with a margin. This will make the staining process as effective as possible. Because sometimes colors are not enough, and instead of black you get a dark gray color. After pouring the paint into boiling water, it is necessary to straighten jeans. There is no need to dry them first. Before staining, they should be well -painted, wet. It is worth moving all the creases and immerse the product into a pan.
- Stir with a large spoon. If you are not entirely sure of the quality of staining, it is best to use a piece of white fabric before loading jeans. To do this, immerse the flap in the solution and look at its color. If it becomes saturated and acquires such a color as necessary, you can stain jeans. If it is light, you can enter another bag of dye into the pan. This will make the solution even darker, and staining intense.

When stained with potassium permanganate, it is necessary to be as accurate as possible, because it can cause stains on the bathroom, also on clothes. Traces are very difficult to display. The color when stained with potassium permanganate is not very beautiful, but it helps to create the effect of boiled jeans, as well as emphasize fractures and some dentists.
- Blue - The easiest option for staining, but one of the most unstable. Therefore, periodically you will have to use the dye from time to time in order to update and improve color.

How to paint jeans: basic painting rules
Salt solutions, as well as vinegar, are very often used to fix the paint. Please note that for some time after staining, traces on the body may remain, as well as on the upholstered furniture on which you will sit. To avoid troubles, we recommend fixing the paint, thoroughly pissing clothes after staining. For this purpose, a solution of vinegar, as well as citric acid, is often used. It is proven that sour solution helps to fix the paint and prevents it from lining.
Please note that it is not always possible to achieve such a color after coloring, as immediately after buying clothes. This is due to the use of super persistent dyes, special conditions, high temperature, pressure, as well as quick drying of products. Accordingly, it is almost impossible to achieve such a result in home conditions. Dry jeans in a straightened state, on an old sheet or straightening it on a hanger in order to avoid creases. Because in the place of folds, light spots can form, which will spoil the result of staining.
Please note that within a few washes after staining, water can acquire a characteristic shade of dye. Therefore, we do not advise with jeans to throw other clothes for washing in the washing machine. It is best to wash with an old towel or some unnecessary clothing that can absorb the remains of the dye from jeans.
