[Orange]

Feeling blue about your beige walls, and wishing you could splash the latest color trends across your living space? Unpaint, a novel product from Colombian company Glasst, might just be the stroke of genius you’ve been waiting for. This innovative paint allows users to easily peel off their colorful creations when it’s time for a change.

 

More than your average paint-by-numbers solution, Unpaint applies like traditional wall paint via a brush, roller, or spray, but dries into a solid, film-like layer that can be removed by hand without damaging the surface underneath. This makes it an ideal fit for renters who want to add personal flair to their space without risking their security deposit, or for homeowners who like to frequently refresh their living areas.

 

 

 

The versatility of Unpaint extends beyond walls. As the “first multi-surface removable paint,” it can be used on furniture, decorative items, and a variety of surfaces including plywood, glass, metal, plastic, and sealed concrete, allowing people to experiment without the fear of permanent commitment.

 

 

 

With over 5,000 matte-finish colors to choose from, Unpaint offers a rainbow of possibilities. It dries quickly, needing only 30 to 60 minutes between coats and a full 24 hours to set completely. Once dry, it forms a durable yet flexible film that can withstand daily wear and tear in both homes and commercial areas. However, users should be aware that it’s more prone to scratches from sharp objects compared to standard paint.

 

 

 

Made from natural and renewable materials, Unpaint biodegrades within one to three years of it being peeled off and discarded. It’s also free of volatile organic compound emissions, making it a safer choice for indoor use. However, it’s worth reiterating that Unpaint is designed for short-term use, as it begins to break down and become brittle after about a year.

 

For those ready to dip their brushes into this removable paint, Unpaint is now available at major retailers like Lowe’s, as well as online through Amazon and Glasst’s website. Prices start at $29.98 for a 1-quart can, offering an affordable way to experiment with temporary color transformations.
