    Much depends on what you used to 'paint'. Turning the jeans inside out (works with T-shirts) will reduce the effects of machine washing. With your next project wash before applying the art (get the sizing out of the fabric). We use 'Sharpie' permanent colored markers as NOTHING seem st remove a Sharpie mark

    As far as I know, forever. I iron from the back or with a cloth over to set the paint as soon as it is dry. And, another thing is I rarely put anything like that in the dryer. Dryers are hard on your clothes. Anything I have ever5 painted stayed on permanently.

    I painted sheets and pillowcases with just regular paint (latex) probably 10 years ago and it is still good.

    I've done everything from t shirts to jeans with those little bottles in the craft department of Wal Mart. I think ironing it helps a lot. My son has done lots of tennis shoes, too.
