How to Pick Paint for Window Mural Painting

Window murals impart intriguing illusion to a home's decor. They coax "window shoppers" to come inside businesses. Children and teens enjoy painting windows of rooms and cars. Picking window paints from an array of innovative products allows adult and youth muralists alike to fashion expressive window tableaux that are far more pleasing to the eye than traditional posters tacked on walls. Add personal spark to your home or business by picking window paints to create the perfect window murals.

Instructions

    • 1

      Choose Jazz Gloss Temperas instead of regular glossy enamels to achieve brilliant coloration and superior coverage of windows. Unlike regular enamels, Jazz Gloss Temperas wash off with water.

      Mix and match Jazz Gloss Metallic and Fluorescent Temperas to create a shimmer and glimmer all your own on windows.

    • 3

      Rely on Rich Art Window Paint, which is water-resistant, to stick to most glass surfaces. Clean up paints or remove painted designs from windows with soapy water and ammonia.

      Break out the Crayola Window FX Markers no matter your age to embellish an amazing array of surfaces--windows, mirrors, glass, tile, rock and plastic.

    • 5

      Choose special glass markers to make temporary designs on glass, plastic and poster board. Children may use glass markers to customize windows and mirrors in the bed and and bath, especially during the holidays.

    • 6

      Pick Rainbow Liquid Chalk Markers to create traditional chalkboard effects on non-porous surfaces, like glass, cardboard or metal--without the muss, fuss and dust of regular chalk. Indoors, liquid chalk designs glow in UV light. Outdoors, liquid chalk stays put even in the rain.

    • 7

      Employ Pebeo Arti Stick Window Color when ordinary paints don't work. Muralists pick a pattern, cover it with plastic, paint over it with tubes of stick window color, then peel and attach the entire design to glass, tile and metal surfaces.
