Want to blackout the bottom part of a windshield. Which is the best paint and proper prepping required.

I think most will tell you Krylon Fusion. Probably the way to go. I think some 3m scuff pad the area up, some do nothing. Me, I'd tape off the area and scuff the part you want painted and paint it with Fusion.

ive herd fusion also good luck

The fusion paint sucks. Go to your local hobby store and get some paint designed to paint the lexan bodies on radio control cars, I think it is made by parma. Paint your windshield on the backside. Nothing you can do after that will remove the paint. It's there forever.

What he said. I've painted windshields before, scuff up inside and paint. When painted on inside it looks glossy on the outside.

Krylon Fusion paint.scuff the inside had no problems.7-10 very thin coats with good dry time.Don't know what those guy up top are talking about but I even did my hood vents too.

Make sure you wipe it clean with alcohol before you spray.

Alcohol will sometimes cause a reaction, I would scuff it with a red scotchbrite pad then wash it with mild detergent, let it dry and then use a laquer black. Ist couple coats very light, let dry, then a few wet coats, I've done at least 10 this way and they always come out nice.

plain old 99cent a can black spray paint is good enough. years ago i spayed several winshields. i just washed the inside good and sprayed it on never came off.
