Is there a spray paint that can make clear glass a frosted glass? Looking to redo some exterior lantern lights. Thanks!

I don't know about spray paint, but I'm pretty sure I've seen regular paint at the craft stores that you can use to do a frosted glass effect. I'd check your local Michael's, Hobby Lobby, etc, if a spray paint like that exists I think they'd be the ones to have it, and if not then you can always go for the non spray paint version.

ecrane,

thank YOU as always! you always have the answers. =)

(I'd leave it clear but I prefer CFL lighting and am changing out the sockets to switch from annoying candle style bulbs to a CFL spiral bulb. Would prefer the white bulb didn't show at the street).

I'll post my findings.

Krylon makes a spray paint to make frosted glass. I used it in my bathroom when I had a window in there. If you change your mind about the frosting, scrape it off with a razor blade.
