Picture this: You’ve spent hours perfectly brushing colors onto your canvas. You’re in the zone, enjoying the ultimate stress-relief that comes with paint by numbers for adults. You’re down to the final few sections of the canvas, you dip your brush into pot #4, and… scrape. You hit the plastic bottom.
There is honestly nothing more frustrating than your paint by numbers running out of paint right before you cross the finish line.
We’ve been there. As fellow painters, we know the panic of trying to water down that last drop of acrylic or scrambling to a craft store hoping to perfectly color-match a specific shade of sunset orange. It ruins the relaxing experience that painting is supposed to be.
That’s exactly why we do things differently here at CustomPBN.
The CustomPBN Promise: You Will Never Run Out

When you order a custom paint by numbers kit from us, we want your only focus to be on bringing your favorite photo to life. To make sure your creative flow is never interrupted, we intentionally overfill our paint pots by 20% to 30%. Just take a look at the photos above! This stunning black fox piece was painted by one of our team members. As you can see from the scattered, open paint pots, the canvas is completely covered, yet there are generous amounts of red, black, and white paint sitting right there, ready for more.
Whether you have a heavy hand with your brushstrokes, like to apply thick layers for texture, or simply want to go over a spot twice to completely hide the printed numbers, you can do it with total peace of mind. We firmly believe that the best paint by numbers kits with extra paint are the ones that let you paint exactly how you want to, without rationing your supplies.
What to Do With Leftover Paint by Numbers Paint?
Because we give you so much extra, you’re almost guaranteed to have leftovers when your canvas is complete. Instead of throwing them away, you can actually put them to great use!
Wondering what to do with leftover paint by numbers paint? Here are a few of our favorite ideas:
Final Touch-Ups: Keep them sealed in a ziplock bag for a few days. Hang your painting on the wall, and step back. You might spot a tiny white gap or a visible number you missed. Your leftover paint is ready to save the day.
Custom Borders: Use the extra paint to create a solid colored border around your canvas before framing it.
Freestyle Mini-Projects: Got some blank paper or a small extra canvas? Let your inner artist loose! Mix the leftover colors to see what new shades you can create, or let your kids use them for their own craft time.
Paint Your Frames: If you bought a wooden frame for your new masterpiece, use the leftover matching colors to paint the frame so it perfectly compliments your artwork.
