How do you apply these glass paints to create a smooth look? What kind of brush?

I'm not sure. I just dotted mine using q-tips and they turned out pretty smooth.

Hello, No, these can't be used to paint glass/coffee cups. You need something that is permanent. Thanks

Use a soft bristled brush. like a pastry brush or small paint brush, to work the paste into the details, then under running water use the same technique to remove the paste. I have done this on fine details and it works very well.

Use a gloss black primer, and then paint *extremely* light coats of chrome, building it up slowly. I find that 2-3 coats works best, and it dries very quickly in between coats. I have looked everywhere for a "manual" or directions, but have not found one, so the info I am giving you is based on my own tests. I tried it many different ways, and only gloss black with light chrome coats gave me the high polish results I was looking for. It should also be sealed if it's going to be even lightly handled, and again the sealing should be done with a very light hand. I would recommend testing on plastic spoons to make sure you have things right before you go to model, as stripping this stuff is a real PITA. Happy Painting!

no i usually brush the glaze on with a nice paint brush and letting it dry for a bit until i set it down, when you are done with the paint brush you have used make sure you wash the paint brush really good so the glaze doesn't dry up on the paint paint brush. Trust me, i have had experience with that!

you need enamel paint for glass then just hand wash it comes off easy I would not use out door paint on glass

I agree those worked well for me too. I found the trick is to add less polish to the water and try to make the colors swirl together without using a toothpick because they come out prettier. Also use warm water!! Good luck :)

I used a paint pad as recommended. It seemed to work well without streaking.

not sure, maybe try with the primer, should stick but not sure how smooth it will look, has to be smooth as glass or any imperfection will show up

Soak in acetone (or similar polish remover) for a minute or so. Rinse with water or wipe with a wet wipe and allow for them to air dry. Do it in a glass dish or similar (I use a shot glass) because acetone can ruin plastics. Also be careful not to fill acetone past the metal part because it will ruin the white paint on the brushes (found out the hard way)

I used acrylic paint and clear coat and it worked well, but make sure you wash it with degreaser and use a primer for best results

I use Dr. Brown's Bottle Brush. It works perfectly. Just wet the sponge on the tip of brush to soften it before you use it. This brush is very soft and gentle on the plastic. I highly recommend. Dr. Brown's Bottle Brush

Use a Q tip or small paint brush, to apply. The dye will soak and run more than you expect; it's alcohol based. Good luck!

The correct method is to chemically etch the glass, not paint it. You should be looking for glass etching kits, not paint.Official warning from Rust-Oleum: "model # 182510 isn't meant for heated surfaces." - Referring to their frosted glass spray.

They don't even need anything that fancy. :) the bottles have a straight tube that sticks up and slides into a tube on the brush. one tip about the siphon feed it takes a good bit of extra air pressure to get it to feed well. If you don't need the large supply of paint I would use the gravity feed. But with them you have to do the cleanup to switch colors, so I guess it is a trad off either way. LOL I hope I haven't confused you. Have fun, I know I have. (even without an artistic bone in my body) but I just use it to paint my RC planes.

I sprayed them and they came out fine. There is a film on the glass panes which keeps you from making a mess. 2 cans of rustoleum did the trick.

I really prefer using a brush! the application is smoother and you can get a more even layer
