Spray Painting on Glass
Now my problem.....I had glass cut to go on the top of the desk (to the tune of about $200.00....:( ) to protect the desk top. Although the glass top is very easy to keep clean, little particles of dust get trapped in between the glass and the desk top. Especially around the outer edges. It is a chore to remove everything from the hutch to remove it and clear off the computer and etc to remove the glass, dust the desk top surface and clean the under glass. I am wanting to put something below the glass surface that hides the dark desk surface so it stays looking cleaner longer.
First thought was to do a collage of family pictures, but really didn’t want that busy or colorful of a design. Looked for every type of wide paper (didn’t want to piece it) ex: wall paper, gift wrap and etc. Thought about using heavy fabric, oil cloth etc.....even if I had to iron it to a stiff backing. I’ve been thinking about it for quite sometime. I finally had the light pop on and thought, why not paint the back side of the glass the same color as the desk? The only draw back I can see it I won’t be able to see the wood grain as I do now. My question is, have you painted on glass using spray paint and if so what brand gave you the best success. I googled and did find some stain glass spray paint, but it is limited in color selection.
Any suggestions?
