    black windshield border

     



    I am about to put my front windshield in and would like to put a black border to hide the adhesive. What kind of paint should I use??
    Thanks

    The guy that put ours in used a brush on paint made for that purpose. I was skeptical of the brush on but it looks just like the new cars. Contact your local glass installers they should have it.

    Why don't you use a rubber weatherstrip around the glass? That's what I did, you can't see any adhesive.

    I will check with the glass company when I pick it up today. I am using rubber around the windshield but not big enough to hide it all. 41willys the car looks great..
    Thanks Guys
