How to seal acrylic paint to withstand cold temps?
I painted a design on a portion of the glass top of a patio table with acrylic paint. The painted area was sealed with clear Rustoleum. The unpainted part was not sealed. The paint is chipping off around the edge of the painted and sealed design. We had an unusually cold winter, might not be a problem normally, but I have to redo the project and would like to get it right this time. Possibly just seal the entire table top? Or would another sealing product be better for cold weather.

Painting glass is a challenge for it to be durable. And most of the acrylic applications I have done including glassware the paint formulated for glass needed to be baked on. It may be difficult to achieve in an exterior application with temperature changes I would suggest calling your paint manufacturer for advice.

We've painted our outdoor set and no matter what we've used, it's chipped. Glass, metal, aluminum, steel even plastic. We just bring things in now. Of course, we live in a cold and snowy climate. You may have more luck in a more temperate zone.
