Hi Janet. If you're painting on glass window panes, I recommend using acrylic paint. You could paint flowers on the panes and perhaps add a couple lady bugs, bees, or snakes too. Good luck Janet. Stay well.
Hi! Hope this helps:

Lightly sand it. You can use any paint. Exterior paint preferred. Acrylic paint will work. Seal with three coats of a water based polyurethane.
I used acrylic paint for mine, but also added 2 coats of exterior varnish.
Use exterior paint and seal with marine varnish.
Hi, Could use Garden colour stain/paints or Gloss paint.
I have found Helmsman spar urethane by miniwax to be the best exterior top coat for wood and concrete. Fast drying to recoat. Use 2-3 coats.
Use an exterior latex paint.
For the frame, I would use spray paint for wood with a sealer. Anything painted and left outside is going to show some weathering no matter what you do. I just like spray paint since it's the easiest to use and pretty durable. I would use regular acrylic paint on the glass and then seal it with a waterproof sealer, as well. Keep in mind the paint might fade in a very sunny area. Hope that helps!
Make sure the paint says outdoor on the can
I used paint with primer in it already. It stays great in the weather.
I remember problems like when I had just bought my apartment. I wanted to make repairs myself because I thought it would be cheaper. But after a few attempts to paint a simple wall, I realized that it would take a long time.
Scrape and sand the wood, then use a good outdoor primer. Paint with exterior paint.
