I cleaned the glass carefully and thouroughly.
then painted the pack side with white spray paint. When dry, I took a sharp new razor and scraped away the excess.
the back side of these glass faces are etched, or recessed, and the paint fills into the recess. scraping takes off all but the recessed areas.
I had to try a few times, meaning letting it dry more, lighter coats, etc, but I got it right and they looks awwesome when done.
give it a try.
