Decorating your bong...what paint?

A few months ago a bought my first bong. It was a total impulse buy as I was at the local headshop/disc golf place, and it was on sale. My only problem is that it's just kind of boring to look at. She hits really, really well. I just want to paint some white stripes on it (it's a blue bong) and maybe some other kind of design. I want something that will paint well on glass but that doesn't dry too fast so I can wipe it off if I screw up. I don't mind if it's really thick, in fact I'd prefer some kind of thick paint...thanks for any help in advance.

I got one of those hot glue guns, They make colored glue sticks for 'em. I actually got it to try and seal a leak on it, but it looked kinda cool, so I kept putting it on. It sealed the leak and looked kinda trippy. Plus it gave it some texture.

That sounds interesting...could I just find that in say, the Meijer craft section?

And Chronitron, I'll post pics for sure if I man up and go through with this.

If you use paint use oilbased and if it dries too fast then apply some paint thinner to the area you would like to remove.

I hadn't thought of using regular oil paint...will that undoubtedly stay on the glass?

Yeah it should. I've seen way old school 1970's era bongs painted with oil-based paints and they stayed. Just know the surface your painting and it should be fine.

Badass, thank you. Looks like I got a project for tomorrow's no-class freetime!
