Et il n’y a parfois même pas besoin d’une seconde couche pour un rendu optimal.
Une autre de ses qualités ? La peinture acrylique en bombe se trouve très facilement dans les rayons bricolage ou dans les magasins d’art et de loisirs créatifs. De plus, il existe un large choix de coloris. Enfin, la peinture en bombe a aussi le mérite de s’adapter à énormément de supports.
