Full details
Pebeo Vitrea 160 Gloss Paint in Bright Pink is designed for artists, crafters, and DIY enthusiasts looking to add a vibrant, glossy, and durable finish to glass surfaces.

Troubleshooting
Paint is streaky or uneven
Ensure the glass surface is properly prepared and clean. Apply a second coat after the first has dried if necessary. Use appropriate application tools like a soft brush or sponge for a smoother finish.
Paint is not adhering well
Verify the surface is non-porous and completely free of grease or residue. Ensure the paint has not expired. Re-clean the surface thoroughly before reapplying.
Glossy finish is dull after baking
Confirm the oven reached the correct temperature (160°C/320°F) and the item was baked for the full 35 minutes. Ensure adequate cooling time within the oven.
Paint is still peeling after heat setting
Recheck that the item was properly heat-set according to instructions. Ensure the glass was clean and dry before application. If issues persist, the surface may not be suitable.
