Glass top dining table makeover ideas wanted

Leeelooo78

I would like to paint the underside of my boring round, glass top dining table.

I'm thinking a sky or light blue colour.

What spray paint would be best suitable?

Also, the glass is darkish.

Any advice or recommendations?

I will probably paint base matte black.

Hi @Leeelooo78,

It sounds like a great project you're planning there. The first step is finding a primer that will allow you to paint on glass. The issue we'll need to overcome is that the primer has to be transparent, or it will obscure your paint colour. The closest thing I can find is Flood ESP. It is a translucent product, but it's typically not used in this fashion. Usually, you'd apply it to something you want to block out, and then the paint coating goes over it.

You might wish to do a small test section to ensure it will work for you. I'd recommend applying a thin coating, as the thicker the coat, the more opaque it will become. I'd also suggest you use a fine nap roller; otherwise, you might see brush strokes.

Once you've applied the surface prep, you'll be able to paint in your choice of colours.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
