Default Spray paint the inside or the outside of the windscreen?

I know a few people have does this as oppose to buying a new one. So just wondering if you sprayed the outside or the inside. I have Krylon Fusion, will that work?

Better stick with the inside, I cannot get one of the screws off the windshield to save my life. I went to the store and bought WD-40 and still nothing. Its pissing me off. Any other ideas?

It would look TERRIBLE on the outside. I sprayed the inside of the screen on my F4 turned out fairly well, just a temp fix until I get a ZG.
Don't even attempt to spray the underside if you can't get the screen off, I'm sure that would cause more problems than worth it.

Why not just buy a windscreen off of ebay for the $20 that some of them are? I bought one and the fitment is perfect, I also bought a set of windscreen bolts that worked perfectly ended up only spending maybe $35 all together.

I was doing that and I ended up fogetting to bid and had to rush with 5 seconds left, ended up not getting it and I got upset, so I figured I'd go spray paint it. But I won't be doing anything if I can't get this screw off [:@][:@]

The $20 windscreens will likely not fit anywhere near as well as the OEM or a more expensive brand. Painting the windscreen is an easy and cheap DIY upgrade.
