ABSTRACT:
A method of forming a glass sheet with ceramic paint thereon is disclosed. The method has the following general steps. A first ceramic paint (12) is applied to and dried on a glass sheet (10). The first ceramic paint includes a low temperature melting glass frit as a component thereof. A second ceramic paint (16) is applied over at least a portion of the dried first ceramic paint. The second ceramic paint includes as a component thereof a high temperature melting glass frit. The high temperature melting glass frit melts at a temperature higher than that temperature at which the low temperature melting glass frit melts at. The glass sheet is heated to a temperature which softens the glass sheet sufficiently so that the glass sheet can be formed. The heated glass sheet is engaged by a fiberglass covered forming die to form the glass sheet into a desired shape. The formed glass sheet is removed from the forming die, the second ceramic paint being effective to prevent sticking of any ceramic paint to the fiberglass covered forming die.
