Yes you can, but I don't know the type/name. And it will wear off eventually(I had a painted ashtray).

You have to sandblast it first. Then u can sharpie/paint it.

could you use an etch of sorts to do a DIY sandblast?

You can just buy that speed blaster and some sand and you can sandblast any glass piece? That's pretty cool, I may try that on a tube.
Does it do anything to the glass negatively/positively or is it purely aesthetic?

Just do it lightly and at
the 90 psi. That's what I do... tape off a design. Window stickers work well.
ill post the one I just did. Looks bad ass.

Wow, I always thought it was a lot bigger process then that. The only real sandblasters I've ever used were the industrial ones for taking off rust and paint. I'll look into it, but you can do it without stickers also if you just want that sandblasted look right? The best one's I've seen were the FYC collabs with Toro.
