FAQs
What surfaces can I use Pebeo Ceramic Paint on?
Pebeo Ceramic Paint is suitable for ceramics, earthenware, glass, and metal. For very porous surfaces, it's recommended to seal them first.
Is this paint food-safe?
No, Pebeo Ceramic Paint is recommended for decorative objects only and is not food-safe.
How long does it take for the paint to dry?
The paint dries to the touch in approximately one hour. Full curing time may take longer, so handle with care.
How do I clean my brushes after using this paint?
Clean your brushes and tools immediately after use with a solvent designed for solvent-based paints.
Can I mix Pebeo Ceramic Paints with other types of paint?
It is generally best to use Pebeo Ceramic Paint on its own or with compatible mediums. Mixing with other paint types may affect its adhesion, durability, and finish.
What is the best way to achieve an opaque finish?
Apply the paint in even coats, ensuring adequate coverage. Two thin coats are often better than one thick coat for achieving a smooth, opaque, and glossy finish.
Does this paint require a topcoat or sealant?
While the paint provides a durable finish, a clear sealant can offer additional protection, especially for items that will be handled frequently or exposed to minor wear. However, it is often not strictly necessary for purely decorative items.
Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick or clumpy.
Ensure the paint has not dried out in the bottle. If slightly thick, try adding a very small amount of appropriate solvent and mixing thoroughly. Store tightly sealed.
Uneven coverage or streaking.
Ensure the surface is properly prepared and free of dust. Apply thin, even coats with a suitable brush or sponge. Allow each coat to dry partially before applying the next. Ensure adequate ventilation during application.
Paint is not adhering well.
The surface may not be clean or is too porous. Clean the surface thoroughly and consider applying a sealant or primer before painting. Ensure the paint is applied to a compatible material.
Color appears dull or faded.
This can happen if the paint is applied too thinly or over a dark, unprimed surface. Ensure sufficient coats are applied for opacity and that the underlying surface does not interfere with the color.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the surface to be painted is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. For very porous materials like unglazed terracotta, applying a sealant or primer first is recommended to prevent the paint from soaking in too quickly and to ensure even color distribution.
Compatibility: This paint is ideal for ceramics, earthenware, glass, and metal. It is intended for decorative objects and is not suitable for surfaces that come into direct contact with food.
Care: Clean brushes, sponges, and other tools immediately after use with a solvent suitable for solvent-based paints. The decorated object should be handled carefully to preserve the finish. For optimal durability, allow the paint to cure fully according to manufacturer recommendations, typically several days after application.
