  • how do i paint a flood coat on a window please?

    hi all
    we have to flood coat a large window and the client wants it painted. Now I have never done this before so any help would be great.
    Do I use enamel or acrylic paint?
    Do I need to use an all purpose sealer?
    Do I use a brush or a roller?
    and anything else I don’t know enough about to ask.
    Thanks all
    Mike

    Michael
    when i paint a window and its to be more or less permanent then i clean thoroughly with meths and roller on enamel with a foamie and layoff as i go with a soft brush ,dependent on colour may need a couple of coats

    looking through to a light source you will see the painted results ,to minimize and for durability i finally cover with vinyl

    i would only go to these lengths to back up a design involving text where i
    would not want a halo to appear around the vinyl
