I agree with the plastic film. It is a vinyl plastic with a square or
diamond pattern that lets most of the light through, yet completley obscures
what is behind it. I used it on my garage windows. If you apply it carfully,
it looks like the pattern is part of the glass.

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.
