Pebeo Vitrea 160, Glass Paint Thinner, 45 ml Bottle

This was actually bigger than I thought so that was a nice suprise. This is exactly what I needed to replace a smaller one that came with differen colors in a set. It shipped quickly.

4 coats on an outdoor led flood light that burns all night and hasn't burned off yet

I’m applying Pebeo Vitrea 160 to glass. I use a cutout mask to create my pattern. It’s difficult to get enough paint on the glass to make it opaque but not too much to be unable to remove the mask without removing the paint with the mask. Other than that, I give it 5 stars.

These paints are nice, but streaky. At little goes a long way, so it's perfect for experiments. Definitely let the coats dry in between applications. I also purchased the liquid thinner from Vitrea and found that while it did make the paint less streaky, the more applications that you present the worse it gets.I wanted to experiment with glass jars from my kitchen before I messed up a nice vase. I painted the inside of the jar with the Vitrea paints (a thin layer) and baked as directed. After, I added some strontium alluminate to a clear gloss and applied to the bottom of the jar. Strontium Alluminate is a strong glow in the dark powder and comes in a variety of colors (blue, violet, green, aqua, violet, white) with each color having various levels of glow strength. I should note that I tried to apply the powder a variety of ways (i.e., mixed in with the Vitrea paint, sprinkled on the inside, etc.) and the best application was on the OUTSIDE of the jar, at the bottom of the container. After a charge in the sun or ten minutes under a UV light, the jar glowed beautifully and was perfectly complimented with a white hydrangea bud. Depending on the color of the powder, some jars glowed longer than others but overall I think it would make a nice addition to outside centerpieces for a backyard party.

It was fine. It’s a thinner for panel China paints.

Muy bueno

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.

Paint is extremely sheer and super sticky. Unless you use very soft brushes, paintbrush strokes show. If using, use brushes you don’t care about. Paint is really hard to get off brushes.
