Thumbs up Don't let the see your Harley...

I love having a nice garage to park the SG in but I hate people being able to see in the garage door window and all my stuff.
I was wanting to keep prying eyes out by putting up some curtains or something to block the view.

As I was searching I came across an easy and cheap way.
Rustoleum Frosted Glass Spray Paint.
It's very easy to apply and looks great. Lets all of the natural light in but keeps nosey neighbors from seeing in.
Best part is it only cost me $4.

You could use this instead of curtains and/or blinds for your house too! Sweet!!!

Your neighbors probably already know you have a Harley. . .

I can still see what you and your wife do out there, but now it's like when I used to watch HBO and Skinamax without a subscription.

I have glass block. Let's in light, but opaque. It's high up on the wall, and too small to fit a Harley. But a body could easily get stuck trying to break through it, and the hose is right there...

Not a bad idea the painted frosted windows. For me its not a real worry. I do have shades on garage windows mostly to close in summer to keep it cooler. My drive way is about 100 yds long nearest neighbor on left and right is about 1/4 mile separated by woods on one side, on the other pasture creek and woods. No one in front or back for much further than that. So if someone that I do not know can see in my windows they have already made a big mistake
