Paint for glass

Paint for glass

Paint for glass

(OP)
Where can I find a paint product that can be applied to glass that will give an etched or frosted look?

RE: Paint for glass

It will probably be some sort of acid or silk screening process, not really a paint.

RE: Paint for glass

Hydrofluoric acid (HF) is used to etch glass.
It's sometimes used as an ingredient in cleaners for aluminum wheels -- check the ingredients on some aerosol cans in your local auto parts store.

RE: Paint for glass

Search this forum for "glass paint", the subject has come up before, and IIRC, one of the mentioned suppliers had a paint/glaze product that would produce frosted and/or crackled finishes.

RE: Paint for glass

I found a manufacture of waterbased paint for glass. They have many different finishes. Conatct them if you require the product. Strata Paint. 450-662-2537

RE: Paint for glass

(OP)
Correction the number for Strata is 514-910-1134
