Technical Details and Application

Painting and Glazing

Refsan underglaze ready-to-use paints are highly compatible with this beetle bisque. A professional glazed finish is recommended to highlight the classic curves of the car while providing a protective, high-quality surface.

• Ceramic Application: Fire between 1040°C and 1050°C for a professional, high-gloss finish.
• Tile (Çini) Application: Traditional tile glazes maturing at 900°C – 920°C are ideal for showcasing refined artisanal patterns.

Decorative Use with Acrylic Paint

• Suitable only for display-oriented decorative projects (no kiln firing required).
• Safety Warning: Items finished with acrylics are not food-safe. A protective varnish is recommended after acrylic application to preserve the design and ensure a clean finish.

Craftsmanship & Handcrafted Variations

Fired at 1050°C to reach its sturdy bisque state, each Beetle Car Bisque reflects the unique touch of artisanal production. Natural variations in thickness, size, or clay tone are hallmarks of authentic handcrafted pottery.

Firing Safety & Guidelines

• Surfaces must be thoroughly cleaned of dust and dried before applying glaze.
• Strictly follow the temperature requirements of the specific glaze type used.
• Performing a test fire is suggested to observe how kiln atmosphere influences the final bisque color.
