Hello Murray! Here's two bits of information that will help you out!

Wash well then wipe down with alcohol. Acrylic really doesn't last on glass, in fact no paint lasts great on glass. You'll have best results with oil based paint or spray paint.
Clean it with alcohol to remove any oils from handling it.

Mod podge is a good base to use.

Painting Glasses With Glass Paint
Look at craft stores for Folk Art, Glossies, and Liquitex all make paint specifically for glass that is baked to set. Each has a different cure time, baking time and temperature.
I just wash the item well with Dawn liquid.
I sometimes wipe it down with alcohol on a cotton ball first. Good luck and stay safe!

Just make sure it’s clean and dry
Just clean it well and degrease it, you should be good to go.
Clean well with alcohol to remove any grime or oils. Then proceed with the fun!
