FAQs

How do I prepare the surface before painting?

Clean the surface thoroughly to remove any dust, grease, or residue. Ensure it is completely dry and non-porous for optimal adhesion and peelability.

Can I mix Thorndown Chantry Cream with other colours?

Yes, you can mix Thorndown Chantry Cream with other Thorndown Peelable Glass Paint colours to create custom shades. You can also mix it with the Thorndown Clear product to achieve varying levels of transparency.

What is the coverage rate of this paint?

The paint covers approximately 12 square meters per litre.

Is this paint suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, the paint provides a durable, water-repellent coating that is suitable for external applications, offering resistance to UV degradation and colour fade.

How long does the paint last?

The paint can last for years or only days, depending on your needs. It forms a strong film that is long-lasting but can be easily peeled off when desired.

What is the VOC content of this paint?

The paint is virtually VOC free, with a specified content of 0.05%.

Can I paint over existing paint or coatings?

While it can coat stone, metal, and plastic, it is best applied directly to the bare surface for optimal peelability. Adhesion and removability over other coatings may vary.

Troubleshooting

Paint is difficult to peel off.

Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned and dried before application. The surface must be non-porous. Avoid applying in excessively humid conditions. You may need to gently score the edges with a craft knife to initiate peeling.

Uneven or streaky finish.

Ensure the paint is stirred thoroughly. Apply thin, even coats. Avoid overloading the brush or roller. Allow sufficient drying time between coats if applying more than one.

Paint is bubbling or lifting prematurely.

The surface may not have been adequately prepared (e.g., still greasy or damp). Ensure the surface is compatible and has not been treated with any release agents. Avoid applying in extreme temperatures.

Colour is not opaque enough.

Apply a second coat of paint. Ensure the first coat is completely dry before applying the second.

Pros and Cons

  • Eco-friendly formulation with recycled content and low VOCs.
  • Durable and water-repellent finish suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
  • Versatile application on various shiny surfaces.
  • Allows for creative customization through color mixing and transparency adjustment.

Cons

  • Opaque finish may not be desired for all applications.
  • Requires a clean, dry, and non-porous surface for best adhesion and peelability.
  • Coverage can vary based on surface texture and application method.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from grease or dust. For best results, wipe down the surface with a damp cloth and allow it to dry completely.
  2. Stir the paint thoroughly before use. No dilution is typically required, but you can mix with Thorndown Clear to achieve varying degrees of transparency.
  3. Apply using a brush, roller, or spray. For a consistent finish, apply thin, even coats.

Compatibility:

  • Recommended Surfaces: Glass, polycarbonate, acrylic glazing, mirrors, tiles, stone, metal, and plastic.
  • Not Recommended: Porous or textured surfaces where adhesion may be compromised and peeling difficult.

Care:

  • The paint is water-repellent once dry. Clean surfaces gently with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing.
  • To remove, simply lift a corner of the paint film and peel it away from the surface. It should come off in one piece if applied correctly to a suitable surface.
