1. What is XGP-Color Glass?


X-treme Glass Paint – color glass is produced through a very unique color coating process. This process involves using oil based paints and our own elite additive which allows the paint to bond to the surface of glass permanently.


2. How are other types of opaque glass in the U.S. market different from ours?

There are a couple of types of glass, all of which have certain drawbacks some of which include a lack of color choice, pin holes showing in the coating, and scratching due to the soft surface, etc. Our product is superior because our procedure allows for an even and smooth glass surface without any pinholes.

3. What are the advantages and benefits of XGP-Color Glass?

  • it is very durable and resists fading, peeling, cracking, or bubbling.

  • our product can be cut, polished, beveled, and have holes drilled to become a finished work.

  • we offer unlimited colors: we have several solid and metallic standard colors, but we can also produce a wide variety of custom colors.

-NOTE: lighter colors such as white or cream are affected by the natural greenness of glass, which occurs because of its iron content. If a truer color is required, then either Starphire or OptiWhite glass should be used.

4. Why can't I paint my own glass?


Our research shows that no paint manufacturer actively promotes, or for that matter, recommends that its paint be used on glass. Glass is quite an unusual substrate to work with because of its chemical make up. Therefore, if you paint the glass yourself, the paint will not bond permanently and will crack and peel.
