“Can acrylic paint be used on glass” is a very common query among artists. The answer to this question is yes, you can absolutely use acrylic paint absolutely on the glass as it’s a versatile medium.

However, it requires some preparation and special paint that will stick to a smooth glass surface without any issue of peeling. You will also be required to seal the paint on the glass to ensure it’ll stick to the glass permanently and won’t wash off.

Let me share some important tips on your query on “can we use acrylic paint on glass”:

  • Acrylic paints aren't compatible with glass surfaces without using the right medium and paint and proper priming and will tend to stick loosely and/or slip down the surface, which makes them difficult to clean up.

  • From the painting perspective, glass is a non-porous surface that isn’t easy to seal and acrylic paints won’t adhere well to it, leading to the paint peeling off after a short time. This is an important point in “can acrylic paint be used on glass“

  • Acrylic paint wasn’t developed as 100% skin-safe or food-safe. As decorative medium glass and acrylic paint will work perfectly. However, I recommend you be careful with painting glass surfaces and glass kitchenware that will directly touch food.

  • You should always read the label before buying acrylic paint. It’s water-based but it also includes other ingredients like preservatives, water, and latex. When you read the label, you’ll also find out if the paint is transparent, opaque, or slow-drying, as well as other important details. Make sure the label mentions that the paint is great for “glass”.
