Re: Painting T-Tops
I would assume you'd have to make the glass abrasive, frost / bead blast it, primer / paint...
A cheaper / less destructive method would be vinyl... like they make car stickers / flames / pictures with... or ape wrap some company calls it...

Wouldn't be able to see through them with either of those options...
I know the Flag / Eagle / I carry Guns window banners they put in the back of pickups (seems like there are a bunch of little holes) let you see out but not in... you sure the mustang's were painted??

Re: Painting T-Tops
Chances are that Mustang has a fiberglass or steel panel, and not a "glass" panel.
The few times I've seen painted t-tops, they looked like a Maaco disaster.
