- 1). Plan the design you want to paint on your windshield. If you're going to be creating a design, it's important to make sure that the design you want doesn't obscure your vision. Make a template of your windshield on a sjeet of paper so that you can get the full effect of the design and make the painting process easier.
- 2). Outline your finalized design with a permanent marker. Make sure every line and detail has been drawn over so that everything stands out clearly. Cut away the excess paper, leaving only the design template behind.
- 3). Clean your windshield. Before you begin the painting process, it's important to remove all dirt and particles from your windshield to create an ideal painting surface. If you're using any chemicals, wipe them away completely using a damp cloth so that the chemicals don't affect the paint.
- 4). Tape your template to the front of the windshield in its proper position. Windshield painting is best done on the inside surface so that it won't become chipped or damaged prematurely by road debris or insects. Check a final time to be sure that your vision isn't obstructed before continuing.
- 5). Paint one color at a time, using acrylic enamel paint. Since the image will be viewed from the front, start with the smaller details and gradually work your way to the background colors. Use fine brushes for detailed sections and wide flathead brushes to fill in blocks of color. To avoid smudging, let each color dry completely before adding another color.
