Sandblasting Auto Glass
Has anyone had their auto glass sandblasted with some sort of design, or perhaps anyone bold enough to have done it themselves before?
I am not sure how well the glass will take to sandblasting as it might break or reduce the quality of the glass

Wouldn't sandblasting possibly break the glass?
I think etching is done chemically but I'm not sure. What are you trying to do? I have seen decals that look like etched glass. Maybe talk to a decal shop and see if that have or can get the etched look material. |

I'm don't have anything particular in mind, but curious as to what sort of glass design work is possible with auto glass.

You shouldnt have any problems using any of the methods described unless your trying to use an industrial sized sandblaster.
I have relatives who used to get custom sandblasting done on their old lincoln (the tanks with the rear port windows). Others have used the chemical etching and the most popular these days is the fake stuff thats just applied like 'the saint' stated.
