Glass is considered a good substrate for paint testing due to several key characteristics that influence the interaction between paint and the surface. Here are the main reasons:
Non-porous
Surface Smoothness and Flatness
Chemical Stability
Thermal Stability
Ease of Surface Preparation
Application Versatility
