I don't know much about glass paints, but I can tell you that pretty much any paint can be used with an airbrush as long as you know how to properly reduce (thin) it.The person you bought the paint from should know what to use to reduce it. With a gravity feed gun, you should probably reduce to around the viscosity of milk. For a siphon feed, usually a little thinner. Don't be afraid of "spoiling" your airbrush. If you clean it properly it will last forever. To clean it, use the same product you used to reduce with, then flush with water. I would also suggest actually taking your airbrush apart and really cleaning it. I've seen a lot of perfectly good airbrushes ruined because they weren't properly cleaned. When you put it back together, be sure to lightly lubricate your needle, all threaded parts, and the pin that goes into your air valve (usually on the bottom of your trigger), a little vasaline works just fine.

The other paints like acrylic are not water soluble and will spoil your airbrush. The best paint to use with an airbrush would be Poster Paint (or any water dissolving paint.)
