Art Work with Project Popperz Color Slicks, Metallic Markers and Painters Paint Marker

Project Popperz Color Slicks are no mess solid tempera paint that comes in brilliant classic colours. It is smooth when we apply, and there is no need to press. The Color Slicks are simple to use; twist up the applicator that moves up and down to apply the paint. The twist up applicator also protects the paint from breaking or crumbling and gives better control to paint without making a mess. It dries fast, and does not streak or bleed. It works well on foam board, corrugated board and paper.
