You will also need to think about the manner in which the glass is to be used. If it's intended to be kept in a closed space and not be exposed to a lot of stress, then a basic super glue is sufficient. In contrast, if the glass is intended to be a part of the windshield, it's a good idea to choose an adhesive that is weatherproof.

Super glues are able to cure in a variety of ways. Some require accelerators with chemicals to speed up the process, and it's crucial to follow the instructions of the manufacturer carefully. It's also a good idea to work in a well-ventilated area and open any windows to allow more air circulation, since this will aid in helping the glue dry faster. Additionally you can use a fan to increase the air flow around your work area, allowing it to dry even more quickly.

Cover the area around the window by using painters' tape and plastic sheeting. This will stop paint from accumulating on areas that aren't supposed to be painted.

It's time to start painting after the primer and paint have dried. Paint the rails (horizontals first) before the stiles (verticals). This will prevent drips of paint from reaching the glass. Also, ensure that you keep a moist cloth on hand to wipe off any paint drips as soon as they happen.
