Answer 1

Note that if you don't use glass paint, it's likely to scratch & peel off very easily.

Answer 2

There are lots of iridescent paints out there, go to your local Michaels, JoAnn's, Hobby Lobby, or whatever craft store you have there. All of those stores have very helpful staff who will know exactly what you need.

Answer 3

Iridescent (correct spelling) pearl paints are one way to go. Another is to buy the new paints that are one color when you look at them from one direction, and another color when you look at them from another direction. I tried to find the name of them for you, but couldn't find my bottles of it. Most art supply stores carry it -that's how I found it. It's fun to use.

Answer 4

you can go to a craft or artist supply store and ask them for a glossy irredecent pearl paint. that should do the trick.
