Pébéo Vitrea 160 frosted glass paint 45 ml

Soft frosted colour for glass

Give glass or crystal a coloured, translucent frosted finish. Vitrea 160 Dépoli is water-based paint: the matt effect forms in the paint layer and lets light through. Use it for colour areas, simple patterns and accents on decorative glass objects. You receive one 45 ml bottle in your chosen colour; a brush and object are needed separately.

Choose lemon or pink for a warm colour accent, azure or aniseed for a cooler motif, and cloud for a light, soft appearance. Colour numbers help you find the same shade again.

• 30 - Lemon (frosted)
• 33 - Pink (frosted)
• 36 - Azure (frosted)
• 38 - Aniseed (frosted)
• 39 - Cloud (frosted)

Preparing and painting

Degrease glass or crystal with alcohol or soapy water and let dry. Do not use Pyrex, Arcopal or equivalent surfaces. Stir the paint well and apply with a brush. Colours can be mixed together. Use Vitrea 160 thinner when you need more flow. Clean brushes with water before the paint has been baked.

Compare colour in the light

On a suitable sample, paint two narrow bands with a strip of unpainted glass between them. Add another layer to one band after drying. Compare both in transmitted and reflected light to see how your layers affect the colour and frosted appearance. Record the colour number and layers before making a larger pattern.

Drying and fixing

For dishwasher resistance, dry for at least 24 hours, place the object in a cold domestic oven and heat to 160 °C. Count 40 minutes once that temperature is reached and stable. After baking, open the oven and let the object cool inside to avoid thermal shock. Also follow the label and the object’s care instructions.

Without baking, air-dry for 72 hours for decorative use, then wash only gently without soaking. This route does not replace baking for dishwasher use. Decorate only areas that will not touch food; on drinking glasses, keep decoration about 1 cm below the rim. Dishwasher resistance is not approval for food contact.
