Pros and cons

Pros

A 60 ml tube provides a single-colour format for artists topping up or selecting Perylene Violet individually.
The stated palette working time may give painters more time to blend before the paint sets on the palette.
The described thick consistency supports retaining brush marks for textured, impasto work.

Cons

Transparent opacity may require layering or underpainting when a less see-through result is wanted.

What to know before buying

The manufacturer gives approximately 20-30 minutes as palette working time, which is distinct from the listing's dry-time and full-cure entries.

Listing details to confirm

The listing calls the finish Gloss, while the range description says it generally gives an even satin finish and that sheen varies by colour. The listed Full coverage also sits alongside a Transparent opacity claim. Treat these as differing listing descriptions rather than settled outcomes, and check whether the finish and coverage suit your intended work. The dry-time value is shown as 0.25 without a unit, while the separate full cure time is 24 Hours.

Ratings alone cannot establish performance. For buyers choosing this transparent violet, check that its opacity and the differing finish descriptions suit the intended painting.

Frequently asked questions

Is this paint opaque?

The listing identifies it as transparent, so it may show the surface or layers beneath. Choose another colour or plan to build layers if you need opacity.

How long does it take to dry?

The listing gives a dry-time entry of 0.25 without a unit and a separate full cure time of 24 Hours. The manufacturer describes palette working time as approximately 20-30 minutes. These refer to different stages, and the dry-time unit is not specified.

What is the finish?

The product details say Gloss, while the range description says the finish is generally satin and can vary by colour. The supplied information does not resolve the difference.

Is it water resistant when dry?

The listing states Not Water Resistant. Do not rely on this paint where water resistance is required.
