Jewelry paint [Japan] 

++

I am looking for paint that has the same affect as carnival glass. I have no idea what it is called or where to get it. If anyone knows about how I might find out more about this, it would really help.

Ed. note: Sorry your question remains unanswered by any of the readers, San, but we are not familiar with a paint which would impart the iridescent look of carnival glass.

You may want to try resin (its a plastic expoxy that sticks to metal). You can buy it at a hardware store and dye it to the right color. They can probably help you with the right dyes also. Food coloring may work. Then just paint it on. If you want to fill between metal, like stained glass, you will need a frame to hold it while it dries.
