    Default Windshield etching ?

    Looking to get some windshield etching done on my rt. I'm tired of the stickers that don't last. Any feed back or suggestions will help. I live in the Hudson Valley NY area. Are there any shops that might be recommended ?

    Check your local car club cruise night. I've seen quite a few glass etchers at local cruises.

    Just remember etching is a chemical process. What you are looking at is engraving to get the etched effect an airbrush with special media is used.

    Sara did a great job on my windshield. She is also a VERY nice person to talk to and just be around. --- Oh - she did my daughter, Laura, windshield too.

    One that I watched at SF used a engraving tool, like you put your name/numbers on metal.

    Like a tattoo, I was thinking, "boy, that is permanent", if you didn't like the results or grew tired of it, a new windshield is the only solution.


    One of the hardest decisions you'll ever face in life is choosing whether to walk away or try harder.
