Question
Can I paint the edges of cards I already have?
Answer
Yes, you can add color to existing cards as long as the stock is thick enough to show an edge. The prep depends on whether the cards are coated.
- Stack the cards tightly and clamp them with binder clips so the edges line up.
- Apply acrylic paint in thin, even coats rather than one thick pass.
- Lightly sand glossy or coated edges first so the paint can grip.
- Uncoated cards accept paint more readily and need less prep.
