How to paint glass sliding door?

Hello, whoever built my apartment block decided to use outdoor patio sliding doors as bedroom doors. I wondered if i could paint the glass white to closer resemble a wall?

Re: How to paint glass sliding door?

Hi @nikee_2,

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is fantastic to have you with us.

 

Yes, you can paint glass using this Flood ESP Easy Surface Paint Preparation as a primer.

 

To prepare the glass, begin by wiping the surface with a dry microfibre cloth to remove dust and loose debris. 

 

Next, wash the glass thoroughly with warm water mixed with sugar soap, ensuring all grease, fingerprints, and contaminants are removed. Rinse the surface well with clean water to eliminate any soap or cleaner residue, then allow it to dry completely. 

 

For a final clean, wipe the glass with isopropyl alcohol to remove any remaining oils or residues that could interfere with adhesion.

 

After these steps, apply your Flood ESP, wipe the excess off after 5 minutes, then wait 90 minutes before applying a paint such as Dulux Wash&Wear.

 

Let me know what you think and if you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

 

Jacob
