Window Whitening Out
« on: January 15, 2009, 02:55:27 pm »
I would like to white out the back door windows on my van, but after a lot of net searching I can't find a suitable product.

Doe's anybody know where I can get ' something ' that will white out the back windows without looking 'naff' ?

I need as my signs go across my windows, but the clear glass doesn't let the lettering stand out as it should.

Thanks

Do you think that stuff will look OK as it will stuck on the inside of the windows - what I mean is, the adhesive side will the visible side from the outside of the van

any paint will do, gloss, emulsion etc, have painted backs of aquariums with it before, cause its on the inside of glass it wont look as bad as it would on front as you dont see the brushstrokes
