Doesn't hydrofluoric acid etch glass?


Try the artists' supplies shop. There should be a matte clear coat
aerosol spray can that will likely provide a "frosted glass" effect.
Ask about the solvent in case you don't quite like it and want to
remove the application. Krylon aerosol spray paints (hardware stores)
probably has a siimilar clear matte coat paint. Perhaps practice on a
piece of scrap glass first to see how thin or thick a coat you want.

If you really want to get creative the Dollar Store craft section has
bottles of transparent paint used for simulating stained glass windows
and artwork. The solid partition outline to separate the color panels
is a black or lead colored acrylic plastic applied with the bottle's
spout cap.
