Glass painting

| I have searched high and low to find a suitable surface conditioner to paint on glass so as I can paint colour on to the glass
Maybe there is a paint that would not need a conditioner under it so as it will stick ?
Can anyone help here

| There are special paints for glass painting. I don't know if you have a Spotlight or Lincraft store in your area, you can buy it there. Also most art & craft shops would stock it.....Cheers, Dee. |

| Deejaus, Thanking you for your comments . I have bought paint products from Spotlight and Lincraft but unfortunately these paint products have not did it for me. They are not colourful enough and they definitely won't stay on the glass for any length of time, usually the paint will last only for a few days garden_worm |

| Penetrol, available from paint stores, claims to be suitable for the purpose. |

| Sorry gardenworm, I can't help you much on this subject. I haven't ever painted on glass. I have only seen the products in the shops. Have you spoken to the shop assistants about your problem? You may be using a product outdoors that is only designed for indoors. They may be able to advise you of what to do....Cheers, Dee. |

| You can get certain paints that you must cook in the oven to set them more permanently. These may suit. Sorry but I don't remember any brand names or suppliers though ... |

| Ask at a paint shop. I used a paint a couple of years ago that was for painting on any surface such as laminates, glass, etc. I haven't any left and can't remember its name but I used it on laminate without a problem. The surface didn't need any special preparation first but I'm not sure if it was for exterior use. It was water based but not cheap. |
