- Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2025Color: Wild IrisSize: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseThe quality is terrific, and the size is perfect. The product is exactly as pictured, and it works great, offering an excellent value for the money. The color is spot on, easy to use and easy to clean up!
- Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2024Color: Christmas GreenSize: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseI bought a ton of colors because the price went way down. I'm not going to review them one by one, so here is a collective review for all the Apple Barrel paints.
I've used this brand acrylic paint for over 20 years. The paint is awesome. I believe it's mostly non toxic, tho I would advise against eating it. The colors are vibrant and stay that way. I have rocks that I painted 10 years ago that still look great, even some of the ones that were outside!
I just recently began crafting with polymer clay. This is a new medium to me and I'm having a lot of fun with it. Sometime pieces need to be painted so naturally I grabbed my Apple Barrel paints and went to town. The paint sticks to the polymer clay great! It looks really good too. I will attach a picture of some miniature food I made for my dollhouse out of polymer clay and was painted with Apple Barrel paint. The ruler in the picture is centimeters. There's pretzels, croissants, bread, and crackers in the picture.
I really appreciate all the colors this company offers as well. I know you can mix your own colors but this is so nice to have it already mixed in a bigger quantity than one time use, esp if you're like me and want to come back and paint something else the same color, you don't have to worry about matching the color if it's all from the same batch. And at the time of this writing, a huge majority of the colors are at such a great price you really can afford to get all the colors you need.
When you're done working on your project, clean up is real easy with this stuff as well. I've never had to use anything stronger than just soap and water to get it off my hands. I have found this paint definitely will stain clothes, so make sure you don't wear something you don't want stained forever! As far as surfaces I painted on, I just lay down newspaper or a silicone mat and there are no problems at all with cleanup.
*This is just for the defective bottle: I have used Apple Barrel paints for 20+ years and I usually get A+ product. This one either was bad product or a defective bottle, or both. It was obviously packed after it already started leaking. None of the other bottles in the entire package had issues at all - just this one. Picture is attached so you can see. Other than this I really think Apple Barrel products are fantastic and definitely highly recommend. I didn't bother with a return because Amazon actually wanted me to drive to the UPS store to return it... A 50 cent bottle of paint. It would've cost more in gas to drive to the place. I'll get over it. It was only one out of more than 20 bottles I ordered to have an issue.

- Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2025Color: BlackSize: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseWhy did you pick this product vs others?:
Good for the price. This is a matte black paint, if you want a gloss just add glaze on top and there you go! (: very pigmented color, used for touch ups on my painting but is good for filling background too and using for more wide spaces as well.

- Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2025Color: Cool BlueSize: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseThe Cool Blue shade is bright and true to the bottle. It glides on smoothly, dries fast, and gives lovely matte coverage on wood, canvas, and ceramics. Excellent value for everyday craft projects though you may need two coats for full opacity.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2025Color: Berry RedSize: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseI gotta tell you about this paint I tried out for a cool crafting sesh with my son. First off, the fact that it's non-toxic was a huge deal for me 'cause, you know, gotta keep things safe. And let me just say, the quality totally blew me away, especially for the price! It gave this awesome matte finish exactly like it said on the label and fixing mistakes was a breeze. Oh, and can we talk about the packaging real quick? Opening it was a piece of cake! Usually, these tiny bottles are a pain with those stubborn seals that make you wrestle with them until the paint goes flying everywhere. But not with this one! No messy paint explosions, thank goodness.I'm seriously loving this paint for our little projects and I would totally recommend it to anyone looking to jazz up their crafts. So, yeah, if you're into some artsy fun with no toxic stuff involved, this is the way to go! 🎨💫

Color: BlackSize: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseI got this to blacken a project for an astronomy application - I have used countless types of acrylic paints in the past for many applications, so I found this one also very nice to use. Mixes well, bottle a convenient size for many arts and crafts. Paint dries very flat black/matte finish. Excellent coverage during application. Price was very good and recommended! THanks!

5.0 out of 5 stars Pas chère et bonne qualité.
Color: Flag RedSize: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseJe cherchais une couleur rouge foncé pour mes projets. Cette couleur ''Apple Barrel'' est un rouge rosé. Parfois ce n'es pas facile de trouver la couleur exacte pour un nouveau produit sur internet. On prend toujours une chance que sa soit la bonne couleur quand on commande mais a moins d'un dollar, c'est pas grave si on se trompe. Ce qui n'affecte pas mon projet. Une bonne qualité a petit pris et je l'ai reçu par la poste en 24 heure !
