Pébéo Vitrail glass paint sets

Colour and light for decorative glass

Create translucent blocks of colour, floral motifs or stained-glass patterns on decorative glass with Vitrail solvent-based paint. The glossy colours can be mixed together. You receive one chosen set: six colours to begin with, twelve for a wider palette or a Workbox with larger bottles and tools.

Choose your set

• Initiation: 6 × 20 ml: lemon yellow, orange, crimson, sky blue, chartreuse, gold.
• Exploration: 12 × 20 ml: white, lemon yellow, crimson, pink, Parma violet, cobalt blue, sky blue, turquoise, apple green, sand, black, gold.
• Workbox: 9 colours + medium + accessories: white, lemon yellow, crimson, salmon, red violet, deep blue, turquoise, dark green, black.

The 6- and 12-bottle sets contain 120 and 240 ml of paint respectively; choose a brush and an object to decorate separately. The Workbox contains nine 45 ml colours and one 45 ml lightening medium, ten bottles totalling 450 ml, plus two 20 ml Cerne Relief tubes, white and gold, a mixing palette, No. 6 fan brush, sponge and inspiration booklet.

Prepare and try

Degrease the surface with soapy water or alcohol and let it dry. Suitable transparent surfaces include glass, acetate, polyester and Plexiglas; try a new surface first. Apply with a brush and keep the area being painted as horizontal as possible to limit runs. For a stained-glass effect, draw the outlines with Cerne Relief first and let them dry for at least 30 minutes. Lightening medium lightens a colour without making the paint more fluid; a little odourless mineral spirits makes thick paint more fluid.

Paint two small patches of the same colour on test glass, leaving a clear strip between them. Mix a little lightening medium into the colour for the second patch. After full drying, compare the colour difference with light from the front and behind. Record the mixing ratio before making a larger motif. Choose medium and outline paint separately for the sets with 20 ml bottles.

Drying and care

Air-dry in a dry, dust-free and well-ventilated space. Allow about 2 hours to become dust-free and 10 hours to dry fully; layer thickness, temperature and humidity affect this. Do not bake or heat-fix.

Use painted objects for decoration only and leave surfaces that contact food unpainted. After full drying, wash gently with cold water without soaking. Do not use household alcohol on the dry paint film. This finish is not a dishwasher finish; damp rooms such as bathrooms are less suitable.

Safe use

Flammable liquid and vapour. May cause drowsiness or dizziness. Some colours may cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated inhalation. May produce an allergic reaction; repeated contact may cause skin dryness or cracking. Harmful to aquatic life with long-lasting effects. Use outdoors or in a well-ventilated area, keep away from heat, sparks and flames, and do not smoke during use. Avoid breathing vapour and skin contact. Store closed and locked up, out of reach of children. Follow the individual bottle and tube labels and dispose of leftovers and containers under local rules; keep out of drains.
