Most acrylic paints are water based. But become water resistant once dry. Although to protect them from fading away you must use a liquid/spray varnish. This step not only protects it from dust but also helps it last for decades without fading.

Acrylic paint is not completely waterproof because it can still be susceptible to damage from prolonged exposure to water or moisture. But you can use Varnish on acrylic paint after its completely dry.

Can we paint cardboard using fabric paint?
Most fabric paint is a kind of acrylic that is tested to be washable and that is relatively soft and washable when it dries. In short, yes, it should be perfectly fine using it on cardboard the same way as you would other acrylic-based paints

Does acrylic paint wash off?
It depends on the surface used.....if it is used on canvas or cloth then it won't wash off but if it is used on a smooth surface like plastic, mirror, etc then it can be removed easily.
