WELCOME TO GLASS PAINT
Painting glass has always been a challenge ending with unfavorable results, but in 1997 this all changed! Self-priming/permanent-bonding glass paint originated outside of the USA in early 1997. In late 2003 Glass Paint expanded to the USA for distribution in North America. Glass Paint is based on a scientific approach that uses cutting-edge nano technology that alters the molecular structure of the glass surface to create truly unbreakable molecular fusion. Along with other factors that add to glass paint’s durability and weather resistance, the glass paint is made up of high-performance alkyd compounds, components that resist ultraviolet lights and other high performance properties that ensure vibrant color, saturation and longevity. These glass paint properties guarantee a truly permanent bond to glass; they also ensure color durability, retention and resistance to fading in ultra violet light, as well as compatibility with installation adhesives; black “paint can style” mirror mastic and neutral cure silicone glue.
Purchasing already back painted glass panels may not be the right solution for many situations. First, all major shipping companies classify back painted glass as “flat glass.” Flat glass has a 30% risk of breakage during transit, and as a result, it’s not eligible for shipping insurance. There aren’t many reputed large format companies that offer back painted glass in any color; color matching may be inaccurate, and this glass in many cases is not painted with an industry standard permanently-bonding glass paint like GPPP083®/GPUC083® glass paint. Slow turnaround times (industry standard lead time on back painted glass is 4-6 weeks), expensive un-insurable glass shipping and high cost per sq. ft., as well as the inability to do hands-on quality control all make purchasing ready back-painted glass a difficult transaction. At GlassPaint.com, you can buy permanent bonding glass paint and apply it easily. Glass paint is right for any back painted glass project, whether you’re a small glass installing contractor, or large producer of painted glass products. Glass Paint is an easy way to back-painting glass professionally for less than $1 per sq. ft.
Install back painted glass just like you would install a mirror using the same fixings and adhesives.
- tip: For installation of back painted glass, it’s best to use the same method as installing mirrors – black “paint can style” mirror mastic, clear glazing neutral cure silicone glue (Neutral cure silicone glue is best for glass painted surfaces – make sure it’s not acid cure, which can damage glass mirror backing and many other surfaces.) GE Silicone II is a great brand to use for back painted glass.
