Can I paint a glass lightshade without making it flammable?

I wish to paint glass %26amp; acryllic lightshades to imitate stained glass.Will they be safe with a bulb please?Can I paint a glass lightshade without making it flammable?
You can paint the glass and acrylic shades. Go to hobby lobby and get glass paint . Just don't use a high wattage bulb. I would use a compact energy saving bulb since there's very little heat.





Good Luck!Can I paint a glass lightshade without making it flammable?
It is not so straight forward.





Particulary oil based paints will burn. It depends how close and how hot the bulb is.
