Where can I use Glitter Paint?
Glitter paint has a versatile application range and is perfect for those looking to add flair to their furniture. It’s the ideal way to transform an old cabinet or chair into a standout feature in the room. Beyond furniture, glitter paint can also be used on floors for a unique, sparkling finish that will certainly catch the eye. For dramatic walls, specific glitter wall paint is available, designed to provide evenly spread sparkle across larger surfaces. This makes it easy to add a touch of glamour to any space in your home.
Why should I choose water-based Glitter Paint?
For indoor use, acrylic lacquer is the ideal product. It does not produce strong odours during application and, as it contains no turpentine, it won’t cause yellowing of the colours. Yellowing can be particularly frustrating, so the lacquer needs to be of the right quality. VP Platinum Glitter Paint is scratch and wear-resistant, making it suitable for floors and stairs. If you’re considering applying VP Platinum Aqua Satin on a staircase, this paint would be a great choice.
What is the coverage per m² of this product?
The coverage of VP Platinum Glitter Paint is 12 to 16 m² per litre. From experience, most painters report a coverage of 10 to 12 m² per litre for VP lacquer. It’s better to have slightly more paint than not enough.
What glitter colours are available?
We offer two main types of glitter for your paint: gold and silver. These versatile options can be effortlessly combined with any base paint colour, adding a personalised touch to your interior projects. Gold gives a warm, luxurious feel, while silver creates a modern, cool radiance. Once mixed into the paint, the glitter creates either a subtle or dramatic shine, depending on your preference.
What colours can this product be mixed in?
After choosing between gold or silver glitter and your preferred finish, you’ll be glad to know that we can mix almost any shade from various colour charts. Whether it’s deep navy blue or vibrant coral pink, our glitter paint can be customised to fit your personal décor perfectly. This level of customisation makes every room unique and personal, allowing you to design your sparkling space.
What are the most popular colours for Glitter Paint?
Apart from classic gold and silver, the most popular glitter paint colours are black, deep blue, and dark green. These rich and dramatic shades create the perfect backdrop for the glitter to shine, imparting a luxurious and refined atmosphere. Recently, trendy colours from brands like Farrow & Ball and Little Greene have also grown in popularity.
Which finish do you recommend?
Glitter paint is available in various finishes to suit the desired atmosphere and surface. You can choose from matte, silk gloss, and high gloss, each offering a unique effect. Matte offers a subtle sparkle for a sophisticated look, silk gloss balances reflection and understated elegance, and high gloss maximises light reflection for a bold and eye-catching result.
Which brush should I use for Glitter Paint?
To apply glitter paint effectively, it’s crucial to choose the right brush. The correct brush spreads the lacquer evenly, ensuring optimal absorption and application. We recommend the VP Synthetic Brush, designed with a blend of synthetic fibres for the best possible results.
Which paint roller should I use?
To achieve a smooth and even finish, we advise using a roller that avoids lint shedding. Proper absorption and application are essential. For working with acrylic lacquer or paint, we recommend the VP Superflock Acrylic Roller.
Which primer should I use?
Always start with the VP Platinum Multiprimer Aqua. This primer is compatible with almost any surface, ensuring a solid foundation every time.
Are there alternatives to this product?
Keep in mind that there are no true alternatives to glitter paint in our collection. The glitter effects are achieved through specialised ingredients and processes that standard paints cannot replicate. However, for wall applications, we offer a dedicated glitter wall paint designed to deliver consistent sparkle across vertical surfaces. This product is ideal for those seeking a striking and glittering feature wall without compromising on quality or durability.
Step-by-step guide for applying Glitter Paint
Start by preparing the surface through cleaning, ensuring it is dust- and grease-free. Lightly sand wooden surfaces to enhance primer adhesion and remove imperfections. Apply a suitable primer and allow it to dry fully, following the manufacturer’s instructions. Mix the glitter thoroughly into the paint to ensure an even effect. Use a paint roller or brush to apply the glitter paint evenly. Work in small sections to avoid missing spots. Allow the first coat to dry completely before deciding if a second coat is needed for a more intense glitter effect. Once satisfied, seal the project with a clear topcoat to protect the glitter and make the surface easier to clean. Ensure the workspace is well-ventilated throughout the process.
