I checked the last post of this but there was no answer. Who knows who sells paint designed for PERMANENTLY painting or priming window glass? Not tiny tubes of decorative paint. TIA

How permanent or tough does it need to be?
You don't need special paint if it's not going to be taking constant wear. Just regular acrylic house paint will work.

Permanent is different to tough. Wall paint is permanent but not particularly tough.
You gave minimal information so you got a basic answer.
Just about any paint sticks to glass

My question around permanence was more around if you still want the ability to be able to reverse the process if required.
If you don't care then slightly sand the glass beforehand and the paint will really stick. If you want the option to remove it, then don't sand it. Just paint it with whatever paint you want. That way a razor blade and a bit of elbow grease will get you back to clear glass.
