Specially formulated transparent Acrylic Glass Paints offer several advantages:

Permanent Adhesion

These paints are designed to adhere permanently to glass surfaces, ensuring long-lasting results without peeling or flaking.

Weathering Properties

They resist weather conditions such as rain, sunlight, and temperature fluctuations, making them suitable for exterior applications. This durability ensures the painted glass maintains its appearance over time, even in harsh outdoor environments.

Versatile Application methods

The ability to apply these paints using a variety of methods, including brush, pipette, aerosol can, or spray gun, provides flexibility for different projects and preferences. Whether it’s fine detailing with a brush or quick, even coverage with a spray gun, these paints offer options for every application need.

Water clear transparency

The transparent nature of the paint allows for the retention of the glass’s natural clarity while adding colour or design. This transparency is especially beneficial for projects where visibility through the glass is desired, such as windows or glass doors.

10-Year External Warranty

The inclusion of a 10-year external warranty speaks to the manufacturer’s confidence in the durability and longevity of their product. This warranty provides users with peace of mind, knowing that their investment is protected against premature deterioration or fading.

Overall, these specially formulated acrylic glass paints combine permanent adhesion, weather resistance, versatile application methods, transparency, and a long-term warranty to offer a high-quality solution for exterior glass projects.

Glass preparation

Cleaning the glass surface thoroughly before applying glass paints is crucial for achieving good adhesion and a professional finish. Using a specially formulated deep cleaning solution like those supplied by Creative Resins Ltd can ensure that any contaminants or residues are removed, allowing the adhesion additive in the glass paint to bond effectively to the glass surface. This promotes durability and long-lasting results.
