Painted on any shiny surface it is great for shading, interior design or seasonal fun that you simply peel off to remove! And in my opinion, there really isn’t a good reason that high end, hand painted glassware needs to go in the dishwasher. Make sure that you run a credit card and your fingers over the tape really well to prevent any seepage. It certainly wouldn't work for an outside application and it just looks like a normal gold paint - no mirror effect at all, as the reflection bit is caused by the object that was painted, such as the glass.

I would remove the old gold and paint an entire new rim, because it woun't be as noticable if the golds do not match perfectly. The small trophy looking glass has a light coating of gold and I wish it had been photographed a little better. I’ve been dreaming about these vases ever since I saw similar high-dollar striped ones at Neiman’s a few weeks ago.

I recommend using a narrow foam brush and for your first coat, just brush on (in one direction) a thin layer. I spray painted an artificial flower stem with flat black paint since it’s Fall and Halloween time—kind of dark and spooky looking.

It was then printed to scale (though if you feel like it you could also draw it) and stuck to the outside of our window, facing in. Or take a saunter into our process with the film above, which is a bit of fun for us and a lot of informative for you! It’s the last stretch – seal the back of the sign with a layer of black paint to limit translucency while protecting the coats underneath, and if you wish, a brush-on glass paint sealer. Plus, the finish is always beautiful and once it’s completely dry, it will last forever and will never chip.Next, spray light layers of whatever color of spray paint you are using until you get the desired effect waiting for a minute or two between coats of paint and turning the glass upside down each time.
