We are proud retailers of DIY Paint by Debi’s Design Diary! DIY Paint first caught our attention because of its vibrant colors. We love that it is has only 9 ingredients and no VOCs ! DIY Paint has a velvety texture and is super easy to use. It is one of the few truly clay based paints available. DIY Paint is known for its ability to be easily distressed, blended and layered. It is not self leveling so you can build textured finishes.
WHERE TO BUY:
We sell DIY Paint at One Potato Two and The Shops on West Ridge. Please visit either space for a great selection of paint colors, finishes and tools.
We try to stock paints in 8 OZ and 16 OZ sizes. Please contact us if there is something specific we can order for you in 32 OZ.

This will vary based on the dryness of your piece, how heavy your brush strokes are and the color you choose. Lighter colors tend to need additional coats of paint.
