2 layers of latex to set up the base, painted with a wide brush. If you're going to wear the cap I encouragely recommend to spray lightly with a glossy or matt varnish, for acrylics. If not, just leave it as it is away from wet. A matt varnish would probably darken the colors a bit.

Cool, I've just ordered some white fabric paint to use as a base as its flexible, spraying with MTN94 gives a good base but its too solid and have had a few cracks on my first few attempts, will have to look into the gloss coat. I've been caught out in the rain a few times and the acrylic paint seems to hold up fine but a protective layer will be good for keeping the colors clean and vivid. I have the Montana Gloss spray hopefully that should be o.k as its meant to be used to get same finish as normal spray when using the paint pen range, early days yet lots of experimenting to do

Keep me informed, please. although I've already achieved some good results on fabrics, it would be great to get more info about how others do it. Specially, the thing about the final protective layer. Tell me how it goes.
