Answer 2

Hi I've painted glassware in the past and you need a vitrified glass paint one that sets in oven about 350 to 400 degrees or so. After you set the paint in the oven the glasses can be run through the dishwasher. The French company Pebeo makes a product called Vitrial which is good.It comes in at least dozen colors or so.

I've used it with great results. Michael's Arts and Crafts  stores carry it.

Sunshine Arts and Crafts( on line) used to carry it also. Hopefully they still do.

Answer 3

After you have used the glass paints you need to put them in the oven to set them.  

Don't forget your outliner.

Answer 4

Hi Sunshine

you can use Oil-based stained glass paints.

Here is a good link and a lot of choice.

Suggest you go to a local crafts or hobby store and ask for glass paint.

There are special paints designed for paining and decorating glass.
