lowspeedchase Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Hey guys,First, lets get this out of the way: I can easily google "glass paint" and pick up some stuff, so I don't need to be directed to lmgtfy.com haha ok, now for the question - My KM base has lost all it's base color over the last year... the cool arabic swirly designs are still there (in gold, must have used a diff paint or something) but the base red color is 90% gone and looking like it had one hell of a night.Has anyone had any luck or have any product recommendations to fix 'er up? I was thinking about using the glass stain you find at craft stores, the kind where you paint it then let it sit in the over on lowheat for 2 hours.TIA for any help!

freeOS Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Watching this thread with interest. Plan to either paint or frost my erlenmeyer flask when it comes in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zinite Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I don't see why some low grade Acrylic paint wouldn't work... If no one here has an opinion for you, you should stop by a local art supply store and ask them - they should be the experts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am worried that the generic glass stain will just flake off like the original paint, once the base gets chilled and starts sweating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
