Crystal Brush is a glitter paint that makes interior surfaces glisten and sparkle. Its simple application will add a unique decorative flare to your space with just the swish of a brush. Featuring an advanced Low VOC water-based formula, Crystal Brush uses fine glitters to create a durable, lightly textured sparkle finish. The unique sparkling effect varies from subtle to bold and from dark to light, depending on the light and viewing angle.
Quart – covers approximately 30-40 sq ft for 2 coat application.
Gallon – covers approximately 120-160 sq ft for 2 coat application.
Coverage depends on surface porosity and texture.
Surface Preparation – All surfaces must be clean and free of dust, dirt, oils and grease. Make sure the surface is sound and free of loose and flaking paint. Priming the substrate with a tinted primer or a flat paint is highly recommended, and do not paint over shiny, smooth surfaces, such as plastic or gloss paints, unless prepared with the right primer.
Application Methods – Crystal Brush should be applied with a high quality brush. Apply two coats in a cross-hatch pattern to produce an organic look and variation of a glittery sparkle. To make the application process easier, Crystal Brush can be applied on the surface with a roller in small areas and then immediately back brushed for the effect. Apply only during temperate conditions: 50°F to 90°F and between 25% and 75% relative humidity. For a uniform application, it is recommended to spray the Crystal Brush with an HVLP sprayer using a tip size between 3-4.

What is the best way to apply glitter paint for an even sparkle finish?
The best way to apply glitter paint for the most even sparkle finish is by spraying it over a smooth, properly prepared surface. Spraying helps distribute the glitter particles more uniformly, creating a consistent shimmer without visible brush marks. Glitter paint should be mixed well before and during application so the glitter particles stay evenly distributed throughout the finish.
Meoded Crystal Brush Glitter Paint can also be applied by brush, but brushing creates more visible movement, brush marks, and natural variation in the finish. If the goal is a soft, handcrafted sparkle effect, brushing is a good option. For the most even and uniform glitter finish, spraying is recommended.
Is glitter paint smooth or rough to the touch?
Glitter paint creates a lightly textured finish because the glitter particles sit within the painted surface. It creates a subtle, refined texture to the touch, but it should not feel heavily rough like a textured plaster finish.
The final feel can vary depending on the number of coats, application method, and surface preparation. Spraying typically creates the most even glitter paint finish, while brushing creates more visible movement and texture.
Can glitter paint create a subtle shimmer or a bold sparkle?
Crystal Brush Glitter Paint creates a sparkling shimmer finish that adds depth, light reflection, and decorative sparkle to walls and other paintable surfaces. The final look can appear more subtle or bold depending on the color, lighting, number of coats, and application method.
For projects that need extra sparkle, additional glitter can be mixed into the paint to create a bolder, more dramatic glitter finish. Spraying creates the most even sparkle effect, while brushing creates more movement and a handcrafted shimmer appearance.
What is the difference between glitter paint and metallic paint?
Glitter paint and metallic paint both add light reflection to a surface, but they create different decorative effects. Glitter paint contains visible sparkle particles that create a shimmering, glittery finish, while metallic paint uses fine metallic or pearlescent pigments to create a smoother, more uniform metal-like sheen.
Crystal Brush Glitter Paint is ideal when you want noticeable sparkle, shimmer, and a decorative glitter effect. Meoded Sapphire Metallic Paint is a better choice when you want a refined metallic wall finish with a pearlescent sheen, soft movement, and a more polished decorative paint appearance.
Can glitter paint be painted over later?
Yes. Glitter paint can be painted over later, but it is important to keep in mind that the finish has a light texture from the glitter particles. The surface should be clean, dry, sound, and properly prepared before repainting.
For the smoothest result, the glitter finish may need to be primed before applying a new paint color. This can help create a more even surface and reduce the appearance of the existing sparkle texture beneath the new coating.
Is glitter paint a good alternative to glitter wallpaper?
Yes. Glitter paint can be a good alternative to glitter wallpaper when you want a sparkling wall finish without seams, pattern repeats, or wallpaper edges. It creates a seamless shimmer effect and can be applied over smooth, properly prepared walls, ceilings, furniture, and other paintable surfaces.
Crystal Brush Glitter Paint is also easy to apply and can be easier to patch or touch up than wallpaper. It can be sprayed for a more even sparkle finish or brushed for a handcrafted shimmer effect.
Can I add more sparkle to glitter paint?
Yes. More sparkle can be added to glitter paint by mixing in additional glitter additives before application. This allows the finish to create a stronger shimmer, more light reflection, and a bolder decorative sparkle effect.
Meoded offers glitter additives in a variety of colors and sizes that can be mixed into Crystal Brush Glitter Paint for added sparkle. The final look will depend on the color and amount of glitter added, the base color, lighting, number of coats, and whether the finish is sprayed or brushed.
What primer should I use before applying glitter paint?
The correct primer for glitter paint depends on the substrate being coated. New drywall should be primed with a PVA primer, while wood, metal, previously painted walls, and other paintable surfaces should be cleaned, properly prepared, and primed with the appropriate water-based primer recommended for that specific surface.
