| Pébéo Vitrail
These are the best paints to simulate stained glass. Pébéo's Vitrail paints are applied with a brush. All surfaces should be carefully cleaned before applying Vitrail using soapy water or alcohol. You can apply Vitrail paints to transparent surfaces surfaces such as glass, acetate, polyester and plexiglas. They can also be applied to metal, ceramics and almost any hard surface. Vitrail colors are intense and very transparent. The decorated surface has good hardness and resists to gentle washing with cold water. To imitate stained glass, use with Pébéo's Cernes Relief outliners. They are applied directly from the tube before applying the Vitrail colors, or for an even more realistic effect use the self adhesive lead strip, which can be applied to both sides of the glass or plexiglass. Objects decorated with Vitrail colors are intended for decorative purposes only and are not food safe or dishwasher safe. These are a solvent based paint and must be cleaned up with mineral spirits. Since these paints are flammable they must be shipped via UPS Ground service only.
