Go to home depot or lowes, they should have a section of spray paints made for glass.
Just a thought.
It may be just as easy to roll the paint on.
Less masking and overspray.

True... Figure I'll try a few with spray and a stencil to see how they go.
Colorado - wasnt sure if they had a paint for glass or not, just wanted to see if anyone had any experience. I'll check on it though.
Thanks
Let us know what you figure out.

There is a paint for glass that is clear and is called "stained glass" spray paint.
Try that.
Try that.
I'm not sure there's a paint that won't stick. You ever try getting latex or otherwise off of glass when you weren't trying to paint it?

That sounds like a pretty good idea. I think I may look into that myself.
What about etching? Those kits are available at local crafting stores and are very easy to use!

I just got done trying it and the paint sticks great, I even used the cheap store brand. The only problem is creating crisp lettering, the paint streaked a bit. I plan on trying some different methods over the next few days to see if I can get it to work better. I'll post when I figure something good out.

have you tried the stenciling technique of dabbing the paint on with a sponge? Of course, then you would have to make a stencil
stencils cut from adhesive vinyl would be the best way. It ensures that paint can't creep underneath but if you went that route, you'd be sticking the graphics on instead.

The plan in my head is to "screen print" with an acrylic sheet, cut up with an exacto knife.

I used an adhesive vinyl and cut out the design I wanted with an exacto knife. Stuck it to the bottle and spayed the paint, waited and peeled off the vinyl. I think I may not have pressed down the vinyl enough and didn't wait long enough to let dry before I peeled. I plan on being more cautious on the next bottle and see what happens. Overall I see alot of potential though.

Yeah, it is alittle work. I am thinking of only doing it when I give some to family and such. Once you make the graphic you are happy with you should be able to use it over again, but you are still doing one bottle at a time. Stick, spray, wait, peel, stick, spray, wait, peel, ...

They used to have glass etching kits at michael's that would work great. It is some kind of solution that etches the glass permanently. That might be good for what you want. Only problem is they stopped carrying it around here because grafitti artisits use it to tag windows....
