Chalk Paint over Glass splashback?
So I have a glass splashback which needs to be covered up. Long story short, the paint is peeling behind the splashback, its not under a warranty, I am not wanting to remove/replace the glass for reasons I don't want to get into.
It needs to be covered with something thin so I don't have to remove the under cabinet lighting. This is in the butlers pantry which is very lightly used, no hot appliances in there, no risk of the splashback being scraped/heated etc etc. Just need it to look decent again.
I have thought about:
* Stick on tile stickers (tic tac tiles)
* Painting
* Acrylic splashback over the top (might be too thick)
I tried the tic tac tiles with sample set and found them difficult to apply in a flawless manner.
So i am thinking of using chalk paint... is this a terrible idea? In a white colour.
I want a semi-gloss type of finish I think, so i believe a couple coats of chalk paint, sand with a high grit, then some miniwax gloss and a sand again might produce a decent result? Prefer not to see brush marks, or very little.
Is there a remote chance it could look ok on a pane of glass? I have seen chalk paint on mason jars etc, but never a big flat pane of glass. I am also not looking for a distressed look. I do not want to have to mask off everything and use a spray paint.

i was also thinking of pressed tin but i believe its not advisable to silicone that to the substrate (glass in this case).

6 år sedani was thinking of chalk paint having a matt finish and the dabbing effect being much more forgiving of the painter and future minor damage and repairs btw if you needed something tolerant of hot appliances there are a whole range of colours in fire retardant paints

6 år sedanI would not paint glass in a work area. Hard to see how it would stand up to the slightest bump. What about just putting another material over the top. A second layer of glass, laminex, tiles over a layer of sheeting??
