Today glassworks are becoming more and more popular when creating stylish and fashionable design of any premises. But after gluing this kind of finish it is desirable to paint. This will be the final stage in the work with wallpaper based on fiberglass, so the painting should be done especially carefully and qualitatively.
What color to paint glass walls?
The choice of paint for glass walls depends entirely on the walls of the room you are going to paint. For painting glass walls in the living room is suitable for ordinary water-based paint . After all, in this room rarely children are allowed to paint or pick the walls! But for the painting of a nursery or a kitchen, choose a water-dispersive acrylic paint for fiberglass. Such wallpaper can be without damage and rub, and wash with any detergent and sponge. And the work with such paints is very convenient: the colors are absolutely odorless and easily applied to any surface.
Before applying the paint on glass piles, they must be primed with dilute wallpaper paste. This will ensure a stronger adhesion of the paint to the wallpaper surface. In addition, such a primer will reduce paint consumption and visually hide joints between glued wallpaper. After the glue dries, you can start painting glass walls with a roller, a spray gun, and in the corners and brush.
Better look the walls, painted twice. Especially it concerns those cases when the walls were not leveled too carefully. Painting in two layers completely conceals all such flaws. After applying the first coat the paint should dry for 12 hours and only then you can paint a second time. However, do not apply too many layers of paint, because under its weight the glass walls can be deformed or even peeled off.
To calculate the paint consumption for fiberglass wallpaper, you need to increase the amount that is recommended in the annotation to any paint, twice, because you will paint in two layers.
