I did tipex (white out) and acrylic about May last year and it's only just cracked up...but that's on the nape of the neck...sleeves tend to crack quicker for obvious reasons. I need more acrylic :)

if you go acrylic then go over it with a matt acrylic sealer it helps it keep

I used bleach, and then I used acrylic paint.
The bleach wore it out, but still looking good, and quality is also good.

naw man you got it all wrong.. make a stencil about the size of what you're trying to paint. so when you spray through the stencil in white it will be a clean outline of what you wanna paint inside of.. then make a damn stencil pussy!
