can glass etch be applied onto a vehicle?

[Andrew Ritchie]

I used Glass ecth on the bonnet of a rover for a Tae Kwon Do instructor, he wanted a large cobra on metallic ice blue paintwork.

it looked great and he was very pleased with the outcome.

that was over 8 months ago he’s ben in a few times and it still looks barnd new. 😎

Excellent! Sounds cool aswell, I’ll quote on the job and see what happens.

We have used it on a couple of vehicles too and it does look good. This is a link to a similar topic I posted a while ago which might help:

We tell the customer that we cannot give any guarantee on life expectancy it could be a few weeks or months ……. they have all been quite happy to go with it still …. main thing is you tell them and make them aware, descision is then up to them?

The van in the pics we did ….. as far as Im aware is still ok …… I hope? 😕 :lol1: Probably get a call tomorrow now Ive said that. But we did state at time about life expectancy etc.

I did a van using glass etch but had problems getting it to go into compound curves so went for a light grey vinyl instead, if it is a flat surface should be ok!

Hi Carrie,

did you ever post pics of the van with frosted, as I can’t see them if you did….I would love to see the finished effect.

its not suitable for exterior use
-as the adheisive smells the same as scotch tape
-like pine apples – water based adheisive
