Paint brand to use on glass?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
IMO krylon dosnt cover on glass as well as other things flat black or satin black looks good the first tank I painted I used duplicolor black for car interior covers great but dosnt come. In flat or satin just gloss I will post a pic of the krylon I used to paint the back of my 55 took 2 Coats so I wuld get 3 cans for sure. And if you don't want to use paint thiner get some goof off its a good idea to have it on hand to clean any over spray off aswell.
 
Here is the pic taken right aftr I painted the second coat I used the satin paint instead of flat flat shuld look simaler just a lil less gloss

I use the cheapest paint I can find. I've never had any trouble with chipping or peeling. I just spray, I don't bother with the taping, its easier/faster to just scrape off any over-spray with a razor-scraper.

I've also done it with a small roller and latex wall paint.
 
I've never used wall paint but to each they own I don't tape off when I paint either it takes to much time. I use goof off for any overspray or a piece of cardboard to block the overspray
 
Don't use Krylon fusion, it's made for plastic and bonds well to it, and i've found it DOES NOT stick to glass well at all, you can rub it off just by handling the finished project.
 
I have used every kind of paint there is.I have sprayed it,brushed it,and rolled it. Get yourself a sponge roller,and put one strip of tape where you do not want paint. Any roller will work,but sponges won't leave the little fuzzies the fuzzy rollers leave. You can roll it on thicker than spraying,so it takes less coats,and time. What kind of paint you use depends on how much you want to spend on it. It all works the same. And because you are looking at it through glass,flat or gloss does not matter.
 
Hmmmm well Krylon worked for me fine. It's just spray paint folks. How does it not "stick". You spray it on and call it a day. Maybe I'm crazy. lol
