This is amazing! Thank you very much for sharing. :) I have a question for you, though: is there a way to "protect" the etching and ensuring it to be "scratch-proof" from the paint-side? Just wondering. :)

I've been living with the table for about a month now and the paint hasn't needed any 'protection'. I think the only thing to worry about would be peoples knees on the bottom of the table.

You could probably varnish it with clear varnish ... just tape up the edges so it doesn't run over. I'd test this on a piece of spare glass first, though, just to make sure the varnish didn't react with the dried spraypaint somehow. FYI, if you peeled off the design instead of the "white space" around the design you could probably use glass etch to etch the design or a sandblaster.

I like it also I think it would have been nice to peel off the design and have just it painted. It wouldn't be as much paint but it'd still be cool.

Excellent craftsmanship! I don't think I would have the patiente for this. If I were to do this, I would cut out a whole bunch of curves of random sizes first, and use spray adhesive to get them to stick to the glass trying to keep some sort of pattern. Much like a reverse stencil. I still don't think it would look as great as yours.
