At one of the meets earlier this year, several members got their glass etched.

thats awesome! ok so my other questions are...

did you have to take the glass out to do it?

if not then how is the paste on a vertical surface?

and did you do it from the inside or out?

i would get a vinyl cut like what you want but in the reverse to cover the window and use some frosting spray for the glass first and see how you like it for awhile. At least to me etching your windows is a big step, and just my personal preference but i don't dig it that much.
