Indigo Floral Paint Inlay

IOD Paint Inlays sheets are handmade from real paint. They are not stickers, not synthetic films, and not decoupage. This technique gives you anything but smooth and even, perfect repetition – and that’s the secret to the popularity of Paint Inlay sheets!

The pattern transfers from the Paint Inlay sheet onto wet paint, and each transfer is always unique. You can use one sheet 2-4 times, with the pattern appearing more worn each time, resulting in stunning, textured designs.

We recommend using Original Artisan or Lazy Range series paints. Paint Inlays are made to work with traditional chalk paints. Other paints can also be used, but working times may vary. If you choose a paint from another brand or series, test how the pattern transfers before starting a larger project.

When you use IOD Paint Inlay, the pattern’s paint is physically embedded into the project’s surface. After drying, the paper is removed, leaving a genuine painted pattern and a textured, almost leather-like surface.

IOD Paint Inlays paints are made from artist-quality paints specially developed for decorative use. Naturally organic, Paint Inlays paints transfer the painted pattern, giving a slightly varied and uniquely beautiful aesthetic effect every time they are used.

The results are visually interesting and structurally complex. The paint remains "active" until sealed with a topcoat.

This means you can work with it and use special techniques or custom touches before sealing your piece – you can even paint additional patterns with a brush! The pattern’s paint remains water-active until sealed.

The package includes instructions in English.

Work Instructions for Paint Inlay

How do I use IOD Paint Inlays sheets?

Step 1: Plan the layout of your patterns for the surface.

Step 2: Use the grids printed on the back of the inlay sheet, cut as needed, and set aside. If using a repeating pattern and lining up the design continuously, trim the excess margin from each sheet.

Step 3: Apply a generous and even layer of mineral-based chalk paint to a properly prepared surface. Work in small sections, usually no larger than 30x30cm or the size of the sheet, to manage the paint’s drying window during application.

Step 4: While the paint is still wet, place the sheet pattern side down (the back has grids to easily distinguish front and back) onto the wet paint and smooth it out, but avoid moving the sheet in the wet paint.

Step 5: Lightly mist the sheet with a fine water spray to moisten it. Use a smooth damp sponge, soft folded cloth, or a small IOD Silicone Paint Blade to gently tap and press evenly, ensuring good contact between the pattern and the painted surface. Avoid excessive movement or dragging of the Paint Inlay sheet after placement, as this can cause blurring or smudging.

Step 6: Repeat steps 3-5 to complete the pattern and line up sections as needed. The grid lines help align pattern edges if necessary.

Step 7: Allow the Inlay pattern to dry. Drying time can vary from 10 minutes to an hour depending on conditions. The paper sprayed with water will lighten as it dries.

Step 8: When ready to remove the Paint Inlay sheets from the surface, spray water evenly again and let it soak for 30 seconds; this helps release the pattern. Gently peel the paper upward starting from one corner at a low angle. It should come off easily without tearing. If not, spray again, wait a moment, and try again.

Step 9: You can optionally soften or blend the pattern with water, as the pigment is still movable and active. You can even add additional colors.

Step 10: When satisfied with the Paint Inlay design, allow the project to dry completely. Drying time varies depending on paint layer thickness, amount of water used in the process, room temperature, and weather conditions. If the surface feels cold, it is not fully dry. To be safe, wait 24 hours.

Step 11: Now it’s time to finish the surface with a topcoat.

Protecting the Paint Inlay Pattern

There are several finishing options:

Spray your preferred water-based sealer designed for paints and surface treatments with a spray gun, adding finishing coat from the spray bottle, for example.

Apply a water-based polyurethane-type sealer, varnish, or epoxy lightly with a brush directly over the work. This method may cause some pigment transfer; minimize this by avoiding overworking.

Create a "sprayable" fixative by mixing 50/50 water and your favorite water-based sealer. Apply with a fine mist sprayer. Let it dry completely, then apply a brush-on sealer.

Initially fix your work with a commercially available spray sealer or artist’s fixative. Let it dry completely, then apply your desired finish.
You can also use wax to seal your piece. Apply according to the manufacturer’s instructions and buff to a shine as usual.

Some oil-based finishes can be applied directly with a brush without reactivation. Test on a small area before applying. Note that most oil-based finishes tend to yellow over time, especially noticeable on light colors.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Always check compatibility of sealers/finishing products when using more than one product.

Heartfelt thanks for your feedback! We appreciate your opinion.

: We strive in every way to ensure that the colors in the online store match the actual colors as closely as possible, but colors may vary on different devices – depending on several factors, such as the settings of your phone, tablet, or computer screen.
This means that we cannot guarantee that the paint color will exactly match what you see on your screen.
We always recommend testing the color in the space and on the surface where it is intended before starting a larger project. Order individual color swatches, a Color Chart, or a Color Guide booklet for color planning.
Also note that 250ml and 750ml cans are always from different production batches. Avoid color differences between batches by mixing paints from different batches together: this ensures the color is consistent throughout your project.
Examine and evaluate the color only when dry, painted according to instructions at least twice. Order a small can for testing or visit your nearest retailer to see the colors in person. The Color Chart includes colors from two ranges: Al Fresco and Lazy Range.
NOTE! The Peel & Stick sample has the print: Chalk Wall Paint, because the color samples were originally made for selecting wall paint colors. Note that the Finnish color selection is different from that in England.
However, you can use the Peel & Stick color sample to choose colors from other ranges as well!
You can read more about the colors here.
Also note that you should reserve enough paint for your project:
Make sure to reserve enough paint to complete your project. Due to high demand, some colors may be sold out. The industry standard advice is that if you need more than one can of paint, ensure they are from the same production batch (batch number), or if that is not possible, mix the paint batches before painting to ensure a uniform finish. Careful mixing of the paint (thoroughly and from the bottom) is important for the correct color result. If touch-up painting is needed, we recommend painting the entire area rather than just a small patch to make the repair as inconspicuous as possible.
