I wrote yesterday about getting colored glass inserts cut for a dresser
top. It was pointed out to me that custom colored glass is expensive. Next
question: can one effectively give quarter-inch sheets of clear glass a
tinted appearance by coating the underside with latex paint? Flat, glossy?

There are sprays that can be used for tinting. When you buy the glass, be
sure to tell the glass guy what you are going to use it for. You don't want
window glass, but he will know what you need and can probably tell you what
is needed for color. A good glass store can give you much more information
than most of us.


I have purchased "frosted glass look" opaque plastic sheeting before.
Most places like Lowes and Michael's carry it for privacy on bathroom
windows and for crafts.


Interesting. Is it scratch-resistant?
