How Do I Paint Glass?

Step 1

Before you can paint glass with any success, take the time to clean it thoroughly. Use hot and soapy water in combination with a clean cotton cloth. Wait for the glass to dry completely before you proceed. Also, bear in mind that to avoid smudging the glass with your fingers, it’s wise to wear latex gloves while you work.

Step 2

Prime with Otex Adhesion Primer.

Step 3

Paint with suitable topcoat. The topcoat chosen will depend on the location and finish required.

For example, if it is interior glass in a kitchen cabinet, our Helmi range will be most suitable:

• Helmi 10, Helmi 30 or Helmi 80, depending on the sheen level required

If it is exterior glass, a product like Unica Akva will be most suited for topcoat.
