Painting glass?

I have painted several Greyhound buses for local churches over the years. In all cases they seem to want a few of the windows “blacked” out or making it impossible to see out of and into. The first one I removed the windows and replaced with Tyvec, plywood and metal which I painted over. The last bus I painted I put vinyl over the windows the color to the paint. In each case the customer was pleased. I am entertaining the idea of painting over the windows this time with the same PPG Commercial paint that I am using on the van. Does anyone have any suggestions, warnings, or advice?
I have seen it done by having the glass lightly sandblasted to etch the surface then primed and painted like normal.
I guess you want to leave the glass in the van so I dont see why scuffing the glass well with say 180 on the DA wouldnt work?
Why not get a piece of glass to try it out on?
That way you could see how durable it is against the weather or a high pressure power washer.
I’ve painted over ceramic coated oven doors one time by sanding with 180 grit d/a then spraying some self-etching primer. It worked alright I guess. I know the guy I done them for and I haven’t heard otherwise. Ofcourse they aren’t exposed to the elements though.
