Title: Window Whitening Out
Post by: The Seven Bays Window Cleaning Company 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

Post by: GTR Windows on January 16, 2009, 01:23:04 pm: 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
