PEBEOVitrea 160, Glossy Glass Paint, 45 ml Bottle - Amaranthine

I live in a small apartment with very little work space and I needed something non toxic that would dry quickly so I could use my kitchen on the same day. It wasn't easy to find a paint that would work on an antique Victorian ceramic coat hook. It was a gift and it was white. Not a fan of white things outside of the bathroom. I decided to try Pebeo Vitrea in purple because I read the reviews and a lot of folks use it for ceramic projects. One little bottle was enough for two coats on the rather large hook. I used a craft sponge and I didn't bake it because I'm quite lazy and impatient as well. I wanted to hang up the hook and start using it right away. It dried completely in a couple of hours and it's been used daily in a heavy traffic area with no chipping. It's not the smoothest of surfaces but maybe baking it would change that, I dunno. I like it the way it is. It's a lovely dark purple.I decided to try it once more on a pair of ornate old decorative iron gate panels, not the outdoor kind but something that was made for defining an indoor space, about 38" x 17". I wanted to attach the panels to a basket and a wooden base so I could put it in the foyer to drop the mail in and hang my umbrella on, stash my bag and such. They were cream colored and had a lot of chips, but I like the shabby chic look of them and I didn't want to change that. I used turquoise Pebeo Vitrea that I applied with a sponge in two coats. I used almost two bottles because there was a lot of surface area due to the ornate curls within the panels. I got two coats for each panel from those little bottles. It went on easily and with no fumes or nasty smells, and it dried very quickly. I couldn't have fit these things into my oven if I wanted to, so that's that. They kept the vintage look and I was able to complete the project on the same day. The color was a bit darker than I expected, sort of a dark teal to sea green color and even darker where the old paint was chipped. Beautiful! It feels like the surface will stay true, but even if it chips off it won't be a big deal to repair it with another little dab from the leftovers in the bottom of the bottle.I may try to use this product as directed one day. It's been a lot of fun doing it wrong.

I also ordered the pebeo tube. They sent me two of those instead of one of these. It worked out though, I suppose, because the nozzle was cracked off of one of the tubes.In general though, this brand of paint works well on glass and satys pt when baked on properly. I just needed a refill. Iran out.

I first purchased some of the gloss glass paint and the outliner tubes to decorate wine glasses for a project. I was pretty impressed with the paint and it was very easy to use. I painted 5-point flower petals in a different color for each bridesmaid, and used the outliners to paint their names in a script font.Making mistakes with this paint is OKAY! A huge mistake wipes off easily with rubbing alcohol to start fresh, and I recommend doing it this way until you get familiar with the paint. A small mistake can be easily fixed by first letting it air dry for an hour or two. I was able to take a wood toothpick and clean up lines or mistakes and the paint didn't CHIP off, but allowed me to work with it and reveal the glass underneath with no problem. You can actually scrape the paint off at any point before it's oven-cured.The colors are really pretty. The frosted versions are much more opaque than the gloss versions which are a bit more transparent than you would expect.The absolute BEST thing about this glass paint and the main reason I am writing this review and gave it 5 stars: I use my own painted wine glass atleast once a week and it goes right in the dishwasher. I've had it for about 2 years now, and it still looks PERFECT. The longevity of this paint when cured correctly (follow the instructions on the bottle) is simply amazing.I've painted other wine glasses for gifts since my first attempt and I'm very sad that Michael's no longer sells this brand. (Michael's now sells Martha Stewart glass paint and every review I read says that you can scratch that right off with your nail even after curing! EEK!) I would have to try really hard, with a razor blade, to scratch the Pebeo Vitrea paint from my glasses.I'll be buying some more Pebeo Vitrea paint from Amazon to make some more gifts. :)

First let me say that I am SUPER picky about my art and craft products. I demand a lot out of my materials especially my ‘paint’ mediums. I want durability, color-fast-ness, and longevity. I HATE when a product says it does X and it doesn't deliver on that promise.Pebeo Vitrea 160 is everything I want and need in this area of mediums - Dishwasher (and MICROWAVE) safe, Non-toxic, and amazing color/design staying power. I freakin’ LOVE this stuff. And my plain old dishes will never be plain again. Quick note: Do not put it on the interior of your dish ware. I tend to leave an ½ inch from the edges of ‘lip contact’ areas just to be on the safe side.I wanted to create a set of matching mugs and bowls that looked like water-colored marble ( i hope the pic came through.) After achieving the design I wanted, they were baked according to manufacturer's directions and have been consistently Abused since creation. Hand wash, Pffbt, hardly. I don’t have time for all that. My dish set has been through dishwasher hell for over a year now and they still look AMAZING. No chipping, flaking, or fading. They have been ‘nuked’ to death as well. No toxic smells, no flash fires, no nothing but warm/hot beverages or foodstuffs.There is no limit to what can be done with the Vitrea glass paints. All you need is patience and some practice. But this product will not let you down unlike some other products which pretends to be what they are not. Vitrea may seem “pricey” compared to its lesser counterparts but trust me, it will not be a wasted purchase.

Love this glass paint. I am a stained glass artist and use this paint to highlight my glass projects.

Fast delivery, very good quality.

i am using these paints to make glass flowers ,would like to see that the paint thinner to usewith this product was mentioned at the point of sales.

La peinture était passé date. Totalement inutilisable.

Love this use it all the time on glass easy to use can go over and over depending on how smooth or rough you want it, once done easy enough to bake on glass but need to have patient as if done to quick can crack your glass so read the instructions.

Wanted to create the look of stained glass window, bought led strips and glass paints. This is after 2 layers of paint. It’s very thin on the first layer, the yellow rays are actually orange paint and the orange sun is actually red paint. Maybe with more layers it would build to the correct colour?
