For a very interesting effect, you could also "layer" paint on like they do with candy apple paints.
These are quite translucent and contain a lot of clear materials. Since a lot of them are either lacquer, acrylic lacquer or perhaps urethane (today), they should be QUITE durable.
You could apply them with air brushes for truly fine line details if you wanted to.
Apply clear sealer and they should last a nearly a life time, especially on pre-sandblasted glass where the coatings could "bite" and grip well. |
