Paint glass

Refinish a vase or make a window opaque

To refinish painted glass:

  • After prepping the surface, wipe down with a damp rag. Let dry.
  • Use premium-grade all-purpose primer and paint (choose water- or oil-based).
To paint a clear vase or bottle:

  • Prep with a glass conditioner instead of sanding and priming
  • Use dishwasher-safe enamel paint (available at craft stores).
  • Pour conditioner into the vessel, swirl around, and pour out excess. Stand vessel up to dry.
  • Repeat this step with enamel paint, drying vessel upside down on a paper towel.
