PEBEO Vitrea 160 glass paint starter set — 6 x 20 ml glossy transparent, bakeable

PEBEO Vitrea 160 Initiation Set #1 is a boxed collection of six 20 ml glossy, transparent glass paints designed to create bakeable, waterproof designs on glass and other heat-tolerant surfaces.

If you want to decorate drinking glasses, ornaments, vases, or ceramic pieces with the look of coloured glass, this starter kit supplies a coordinated palette and a professional water-based formula that mixes easily. The paints are non-toxic, intermixable, and dry to a transparent, high-gloss finish; once cured in a home oven they gain enhanced resistance to washing, UV exposure, and microwaving. This set includes Veil White, Yellow, Indian Red, Light Pink, Light Blue, and Cyan — ideal for jewel tones, pastels, or blended gradients.

How do these paints achieve a stained-glass effect on household items?

Vitrea 160 uses a transparent, water-based resin that settles into a glossy, coloured film similar to stained glass when dry. You can layer or blend colours for depth, and the formula remains workable for detail or wash techniques before curing. Baking further stabilises the film for everyday use.

• Transparent pigments mimic coloured glass depth and light transmission
• Intermixable colours let you custom-create tones and gradients
• Glossy finish reflects light for a vitrified appearance
• Bakeable to improve durability on functional ware

Which surfaces and projects are suitable for Vitrea 160 paints?

These paints are formulated for any substrate that tolerates the bake temperature (325 °F/163 °C). Common surfaces include glass, crystal, glazed ceramics, porcelain, enamel, and metal where a durable decorative finish is desired. Avoid heat-sensitive plastics or untreated earthenware that can crack under oven curing.

• Glassware, mirrors, and window ornaments
• Dinnerware and mugs once properly baked for resistance
• Ceramic and porcelain décor that accepts glossy paints
• Enameled metal and copper for decorative accents

What is the recommended workflow for painting and curing?

Start with clean, grease-free surfaces, apply thin even coats, and allow full air-dry before oven curing. For best abrasion and wash resistance, bake in a conventional oven at 325 °F (163 °C) for 40 minutes after the paint has fully dried. Follow cooling and handling instructions to avoid sudden temperature shocks.

• Clean surface thoroughly with alcohol or mild detergent
• Apply thin coats; blend colours while still wet for smooth transitions
• Air-dry completely, then bake 40 minutes at 325 °F (163 °C)
• Let items cool inside the oven or gradually to prevent thermal shock

How do these paints perform for everyday use and cleaning?

After proper curing, Vitrea 160 offers improved resistance to UV light, microwave exposure, and dishwashing compared with uncured paint. While baking significantly increases durability, consider handwashing for longevity of delicate or highly detailed pieces. The formula is non-toxic and conforms to ASTM D-4236.

• Baked finish is more resistant to fading and wear
• Dishwasher-safe after proper oven curing, though handwashing extends life
• Safe for decorative functional ware when instructions are followed
• AP certified and compliant with labeling standards
