Plasti-Dip....I need help

[danielle15]

Ok all of you plasti-dippin professionals. I have a technical question.

My boss's office has windows all along one side.
These are inside windows on the wall that divides the shop from the office.
His dry erase board doesn't have anywhere to mount on the wall due to his desk and other windows.
So currently we have paper taped to the "back side" of the window to act as a white background to use as a writing area.
It works well, but from the shop side, the tape picks up all the dust and it looks tacky.

So, I got the brilliant idea to paint the glass.
Keep in mind, we don't want to etch or harm the glass. So this is why I thought of plasti-dip. (easy removal too)
I thought I could tape off the area and spray the glass with white plasti-dip.

Question, Will it stick and last a decently long time without scuffing the glass?
I can wipe the glass down with rubbing alcohol to prep the surface, but that's about it.
It won't be in the weather and it won't be touched except for when I probably wipe it down.

It doesn't look as hillbilly as some of you are probably imagining.
Idea's and or thoughts? Or would I be better off to just use regular latex paint?

I think it would come out good. Do a few light coats to get an even finished coat. And it's just basically like rubber, peels off no problem. Only time you run into issues is when you do a very very light coat and thats it. Even then you could take a razor blade on the glass to remove it. I'd say get a couple of cans and go to town.

Interesting, plastidip now makes camo and smoke colors. Someone should smoke their tail lights and see how it comes out.

I will try it! The paper just looks tacky and yeah.
Thought painting it would look better and more solid and hopefully a little brighter.

Think it will take a few cans? I've never used this stuff before so I have no idea how much it covers.
The window is probably 3 ft wide by 4 ft tall? And that's probably guessing on the large side.

I'd say two cans would be good and plenty. I did four rims with two coats with a little under two cans.

I can't help but feel personally targeted by this- Although, I did giggle for a minute at the thought.

ummmm there's no easy way to put this but, yes, it was targeted at you :/

hmm smoke plasti dip over chrome rims?

danielle just go for it, i he doesnt like it, a single sided razor blade will take most paint off glass

It should work and if doesn't blame it on your ex.

[f3racer]

find an old piece of glass to try it on 1st. cuz if you **** that glass up, you might be buying it.

Haha, it wasn't targeted at anyone. I was referring to my paper taped to the window looking hillbilly.
I think the plasti-dip will look a lot cleaner.

However, I am having trouble finding white spray locally. I saw eBay has it, guess I'll be ordering it soon.
I checked at the local hardware's and lowes, none had it or could get it.
Any other ideas? I did not try auto stores, wasn't sure if they carried that type of thing or not?

[danielle15]

Well, the paint idea got shot down. So it won't be happening.
Boo!

[redlinepontiac]

but will it blend?
