I bought some bottles of glass paints years ago. They were called Vitrail by Lefranc & Bourgeois but unfortunately I can't remember how much they were. I bought them in Art & Hobby.

Hi , yes , i remember seeing these in the art shop in the Jervis street centre , i think they are around 6 euro each, but you get a lot of use out of them..i did i bit of this glass painting last year and i think you need little tubes of outliner as well..

unsure about the glass paints but i know i once used nail varnish as glass paints while working on a project with children, worked great.

glass paint can be a bit of a rob so why not use water based paint
like i use when i paint glass.and a coat of varnish clear. you can
get a lot more colors with water based paints and mix your own colors
its easy too get tester pots with the brush in it for around 2 euro.
hope this will help you.

thanks water paints also came out nice, the glass paints really are just a joke as they do not really coat well. guess its just for drawing or scribblin letters!!!
