FAQs

Why should I shop Distress Oxide Sprays instead of standard spray products?

Distress Oxide Sprays give you that soft, chalky, oxidized finish that's distinct from a standard dye spray. Because they combine dye and pigment, they layer differently,  colors build up with more depth and that muted, aged quality the Distress line is known for. Spritz them with water and the oxidized effect activates, giving you soft blooms and texture you can't get from a regular ink spray. They're a go-to for backgrounds, mixed-media layers, and any project where you want that signature Distress Oxide look.

Are Distress Oxide Sprays a good purchase if I want to build a color range over time?

Yes, Distress color palette is wide and consistent between the mediums so it's easy to start with a few core colors and expand from there. Many crafters begin with neutrals and earth tones that work across multiple projects, then add seasonal or specialty shades as they come up. Because the sprays layer so well together, even a small starting collection gives you a lot of range.

Should I buy Distress Oxide Sprays alone or with other Distress tools and accessories?

Picking up a few accessories at the same time makes your first project much easier. A Craft Sheet gives you a protected surface to spray on and lets you collect pooled ink for other techniques. A waterbrush or mister helps you activate and move the color. And having paper towels or blending foam on hand lets you lift and blend the spray before it dries. None of it is complicated,  a simple setup goes a long way.
