windshield template
I need front and rear glass. When I make the template for the supplier do I make an exact replica of the openings or slightly smaller? If smaller, how much.
Thanks

Candy on bare metal?
I like the look of bare metal.
Has anyone figured out clear on bare metal that will stick?
Can you color the clear slightly to give a little color like old candy apple red paint?
