1. YES. Use fabric medium and ordinary Acrylic paint
2. Yes. It is a bad thing to get it on clothes you don't want it on. No way you can get it all out.
3. Now that is a tough question
4. Profit is good.

Acrylic paint will stick to fabric. I discovered this 39 years ago when I got white paint on black slacks. I fixed it with black paint. So I have laid claim to having invented fabric painting. It is very stiff though, so you need a fabric medium to make the paint more pleasant to wear.
Profit is another subject entirely. T-shirt painting is done extensively by very experienced lithography businesses. You might be able to sell a few T-shirts, but much in the way of profit is unlikely.

Acrylic paint + T shirt = Yes!
I have used it without the medium and it works well except you have to becareful not to apply the paint on too thickly.
If it is applied onto a less absorbent material such as nylon, the paint may start to flake off away cycles of wash.
Good luck with racking in the money!

Yes/but! use Golden⢠GAC 900 which we like because it will thin the acrylic paint so it can be used as a silk screen ink or use their airbrush medium which can then be spray applied!
Great stuff which will also prevent washing out and allow for HEAT SETTING which is very important for quality which will lead to much #4!!!!

Yes you can use acrylics, but you need to get fabric medium to mix it with. Fabric medium makes the paint flexible so that it doesn't flake and peel off through washing and wearing.
