I'm painting the back of my new 120...is there a particular brand of spray paint that adheres "better" to glass than another?
I realize that spray paint will probably not be "permanent," but that's okay.

Krylon Fusion. This paint holds up really strong. I can run my Magfloat along it and no problems. I also slid my Tunze magnet on it and it didn't rip (and the Tunze magnets have like 35 kg of pull)

You have to put on a lot of coats. We did one coat and it looked fine going on, but once it dried it was like it barely tinted the glass. We ended up doing 9 coats I think? It was 2 cans of spraypaint on my 180g. :D
