It's perfect for practical shading or creating your own stained glass designs, with a gorgeous range of opaque and translucent colours available. Applied to any shiny surface, it provides shading or privacy that can simply be peeled off to remove. It's also great for temporary decorations for occasions like Christmas or Halloween, or as a permanent paint for craft projects on tiles, mirrors, shower screens, jam jars, and plastic bottles.

The long-lasting coating shades, colours, or decorates for years or days – you decide how long you want to use it. This opaque heritage colour can be mixed with Clear to make more transparent shades. The film is very strong, lasts for years, yet peels off easily and cleanly. It can also coat stone, metal, and plastic.
