There are two types of glass paints: stained glass paints air-dry and are suitable for windows and decorations, while paints that are oven-baked at home (Pebeo Vitrea 160, KREUL Glass and Porcelain) are dishwasher-resistant after baking. According to the manufacturers, painted surfaces must not come into contact with food or drinks. Use an outline paint to add contours, and removable Window Art paints are suitable for children.
Glass paints should be chosen based on what you want to paint: windows and decorations that are not washed often work well with stained glass paints that do not need baking. Paint glasses, vases, and glass jars that you will wash with paints that are baked in a regular oven.

How to Paint Glass and Set the Paint
Wash the glass and degrease it with alcohol. First, draw the outlines with a liner and let them dry. For Pebeo Vitrea 160, this takes 30 minutes. Then fill in the areas with paint. Let paints that require baking dry (KREUL 4 hours, Vitrea 160 24 hours), place the item in a cold oven, and bake: KREUL at 160 °C for 90 minutes, Pebeo Vitrea 160 at 160 °C for 40 minutes. After baking, let the item cool in the oven. Stained glass paints that do not require baking are touch-dry in about 2 hours and fully dry in 10 hours. Afterward, wash the window gently with water only.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I drink from a glass painted with glass paint?
No. All the manufacturers of the glass and porcelain paints we sell state that painted surfaces must not come into direct contact with food or drinks. So paint the outside of the glass or mug, away from the rim that touches your lips. After baking in the oven, the decoration can be washed according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KREUL can be washed in a dishwasher on a gentle cycle at 40 to 45 °C.
Can glass paint withstand washing in the dishwasher?
Paints that require baking can: according to their manufacturers, KREUL after baking at 160 °C and Pebeo Vitrea 160 are dishwasher safe. Stained glass paints that do not require baking (Pebeo Vitrail) can only be gently washed with water, and Pebeo Fantasy effect paints are not dishwasher safe.
Which glass paints are suitable for kids?
Window Art lets you paint a picture on film, peel it off once dry, and stick it to a window or mirror. It can be moved and reapplied. Also try Pentart paints for kids and JOVI Jovidecor Glass gel wax crayons, which wipe off with a cloth.
How do you make a stained glass design for a window?
Trace the motif with a liner (for example, Pebeo Cerne Relief). Once dry, fill in the areas with transparent stained glass paint, such as Pebeo Vitrail or Darwi Glass. These paints do not require baking. Darwi Glass is UV-resistant and can be washed off with alcohol.
Can you paint on glass with acrylic paints?
Yes, for decorations that will not be washed. Acrylic paint on glass is not as durable as paints that require baking. Find the instructions in the article How to Paint on Glass with Acrylic Paints.
