[quote]Glass paints can be found in both opaque colors and transparent colors. If the desired result is a painted effect, the opaque colors offer solid color that light does not pass through. Acrylic paint lines such as Liquitex Glossies and Delta PermEnamel offer opaque colors.

Delta Glass paints and Pebeo Vitrail paints are transparent[/quote]

Grab a brush and paint away.

Take pics too:)

im looking to paint, i could do decals and then raise certain parts of the pictures on them with paint, or do fade ins.

Once i get started i will be taking pictures 24/7. Whats the best way to strip paint though?

Paint thinner? Idk, my vase's paint literally FELL off. So to make sure it all got off I got it in the sink full of soapy water and scrubbed away until it was perfectly cleaned.
