Hi
I work for a bus firm and we spray glass for destination windows we use Matt black cellulose
The only problem is the heat from the sun cracks the paint in time
Also the glass has to be very very clean and no scratches or you see them

I know there was glass paint in Hobbycraft many years ago, I persume they still do it. Only hitch is to "seal" it you have to bake it on (so it'll have to fit in the oven)

Why not cover with vinyl? or use a coloured acrylic rather than glass ( less brittle and easier to cut)

i was thinking acrylic would be easier, something like parapan which we fit for work. Looks sweet.
