DECOLA glass and ceramics paint 50 ml

Paint lines, areas of colour or stencilled patterns on decorative glass and ceramic objects. DECOLA Glass & Ceramics is a water-based acrylic paint for smooth surfaces, including faience and metal. Choose an object for decorative use only, never an item that may come into contact with food.

One jar in your chosen colour

You receive one 50 ml jar in the colour selected above, not a set of 26 colours. The range has 22 basic colours and four metallics: bronze 963, copper 964, gold 965 and silver 966. The three-digit colour code helps you identify a repeat choice. Brush, sponge, liner and thinner are not included.

Prepare the surface and paint

Clean and degrease the surface and remove dust. Let it dry and stir the paint thoroughly. Use a soft brush, working from broad areas to fine lines. For several layers, start with the lightest colour and leave 12 hours between coats. Secure a stencil with tape or use an adhesive stencil; apply with a brush or sponge without forcing paint under its edge.

Transparency and raised outlines

Use a compatible DECOLA thinner for glass and ceramics paint if you want a more transparent colour. Do not thin with water, as this reduces resistance to washing. For raised outlines, apply DECOLA glass and ceramics liner first and let it dry for three hours before filling the areas with colour.

Allow three days to dry

Air-dry the finished work for 72 hours before gentle hand washing. The interval between coats does not replace this final drying time. Correct wet paint straight away with water or a soft cloth. Do not use an oven programme unless it suits both the instructions on your jar and the object.

Compare a small trial first

For example, paint one coat on one small glass trial piece and two coats of the same colour on an identical piece. Keep tools and dilution the same, wait 12 hours between coats and compare both after 72 hours against light and dark backgrounds. Record colour code, coat count and dilution. This is a suggested comparison, not a measured promise of coverage.

Care and cleaning

Gently hand wash the decorative object in warm water without scouring or hard rubbing. Do not choose this paint for tableware or other items that may contact food. Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use and close the jar tightly; dried acrylic paint cannot be made liquid again.

Follow the packaging warnings, avoid eye contact and wash paint off skin with water. Keep paint and tools out of reach of children. Collect paint residue and cleaning water and dispose of them according to local rules.
