I bought latex paint, is that any harder to remove than the acrylic ?

Also, i have both flat and semi gloss. Which should i use.

Acrylic paint is latex paint. The finish should not matter at all. you will be looking at the "back" of the paint film.

However SemiGloss paint will be easier to remove because it will peel off in larger pieces.

I am a Sherwin Williams Paint company sales rep and would recommend any latex product. The heavier you put it on the better to remove if you change your mind in the future.

If you want the color to be "permanent" you can prime the glass or acrylic with a bonding primer like XIM 400 white primer. You will not be able to get that stuff off very easily at all.
