What kind of paint did you use? Painted windshields tend to bubble really badly after a while.

Good choice, if Krylon won't stick nothing will.

mix alittle black in with the clear and spray it ...... works really good ..... doing mine next week .........

take your windscreen off, make a hanger out of a bent up coat hanger to hang it from. buy a can of 3M adhesive remover. Apply a liberal amount of 3M and wipe clean with paper towl or something lint free. Buy a can of VHT Nightshade's headlight tint. Spray it on in very light mist, make sure to hang it properly so you can get even coats of paint. the first coat should look splotchy with clear and painted spots. apply a fresh coat every 10-15 minutes in a light fashion. After about 3 coats you should have a nice finish. if you add more coats it will keep getting darker until its non-transparent so go light.
