Clean and degrease the glass thoroughly, rinse with clean water, and dry completely. Mask frames and protect nearby surfaces before painting.
Work in a ventilated space at 60–90°F.
Stir the paint thoroughly for 2–3 minutes, then roll from top to bottom with long, even strokes. Apply at least two thin coats.
Allow 1.5–2 hours between coats.
After the final coat, keep the glass dry and avoid cleaning, abrasion, or direct water exposure while the finish develops.
Ready for light use after 24 hours.
Let the translucent frosted finish continue curing before normal cleaning or regular exposure to moisture.
Full cure develops in approximately 7 days.
DWIL Frosted Glass Paint can turn clear glass into a soft, frosted finish, thus softening the clear view through the glass while still allowing natural light to pass through. It's a good fit for bathroom windows, shower-side windows, street-facing or close-neighbor windows, sidelights, and other clear glass where you want privacy without keeping blinds or curtains closed all day.
Privacy and light level can vary with the number of coats, surrounding light, and viewing distance. Apply two thin, even coats for a more uniform frosted effect.
They should not be able to see clear details through a properly frosted finish. However, in strong indoor backlighting or at very close range, outlines, movement, or shadows may still be visible.
The closer someone is to the glass—and the brighter the room behind you—the more visible a general outline may be. For a window directly beside a shower, toilet, or changing area, add a curtain or blind if you need maximum nighttime coverage.
No. The tradeoff for privacy is that the clear view is softened from both sides. You will still get natural light, but you will not have a clear view of your yard, street, or neighbors.
This paint is designed for indoor glass surfaces, including bathroom windows, shower doors or enclosures, interior glass doors, sidelights, glass cabinet doors, and decorative glass. For plastic, acrylic, plexiglass, or specialty, coated, textured, or unknown glass, test a small hidden area first.
Coverage can vary with application thickness, glass condition, and the number of coats needed. Measure the glass only—not the window frame—before choosing your kit.
Yes, it can be used on bathroom glass surfaces where you want to reduce visibility while keeping the space bright. It's a practical option for shower-side windows and glass shower panels.
For best adhesion, remove soap film, body oils, hard-water spots, dust, and moisture before painting. For shower glass with constant water exposure, follow the recommended application and curing instructions carefully. Make sure the paint is completely dry before exposing to shower spray.
Wait about 1.5 hours between coats, then keep the finished glass dry for at least 24 hours.
Do not wash, wipe, or expose the painted surface to shower spray before the drying period has passed. Follow the instructions included with your current kit for the most product-specific guidance.
Yes. For a long-lasting, translucent, and maintenance-free matte finish, there's no better choice.
While removable window film can peel, bubble, or require replacement over time, this painted finish seamlessly integrates into the glass itself. And unlike bulky curtains or blinds, it provides everyday privacy while keeping your space bright and open, without the need for daily adjustments.
When applied as directed, it creates a soft, natural-looking frosted finish.
