    I'm not criticizing or anything because I want to do this to my car too, but what happens when you wash the car? Can you accidentally scrub or pressure wash this stuff off?
    That's what I'm worried about.
    im sure you could scrub it off but i sprayed all of the stuff in my above pics for 12 dollars and it does peel off but you do have to work at it. i say try it its 6 bucks but if you do 3 or 4 coats it shouldnt peel of very easily at all

    Not bad. One problem, however. SCCA has something against doing numbers on windows, has to be on body panels, for autocrossing. Something happened some years back, blah blah blah, forget exactly what it was, but things changed. I still need to try it on the car, just didn't get to it today. I have a tune-up kit coming in tomorrow, so I'll be out doing stuff in the next few days anyways.

    Re: spray on paint. It seems like it doesn't affect in the short term, but what about a little longer term (a few days, a week, a month?) That's one thing I'm wondering about.

    Obviously there's some overspray, but that's just because my stencil wasn't super tight against the glass. I think a few little pieces of regular double-side scotch tape will fix that. I'm going to go see if they have some white tomorrow and try that, and try getting the stencil a little flatter against the glass.

    Seems like an awesome way to do something a little different for numbers. Then they aren't on the body, and look better than shoe polish on the glass.

    so im glass beading them then repainting to aviod rust

    just bought 3 more cans, but they raised the price to to almost $6 a can, and they dont check ID for plasti dip, maybe because if you graffiti with it you can just peel it off.:)

    they also make a special thinner so you can thin the liquid stuff and spray it with a gun, fyi. check their website.
