The spray on glass frosting available from most hardware stores and hobby
centers works quite well. You will need a razor blade to remove it if you
change your mind.

I just had a rollup garage door installed that has windows which will allow
daylight (good) and a view of the electronics and tools in my garage
(bad).
The windows that came with the door are clear glass. What can I use to
obscure the view from outside without losing the natural light?

Some searching came up with two potential solutions: 1) Spray on fogging
paint, apparently available from craft stores; and 2) Aquarium crystal
paint.

I believe that any tinted or reflective film will work except that, at
night, someone would be able to see into the lit garage. That's almost a
good enough fix, but not quite. I also understand that I cannot add any
appreciable weight to the door, so that rules out adding a thin sheet of
bubbled light fixture panes (like on flourecent lights).

I'd appreciate any shared experiences on this. Thanks.
