Might have been etched into the shield. I had etching done on my wifes windshield. It was done by a painter that I know, she used a sandblaster to do it. Turns out great..

I'd think any chemical would have an adverse reaction to the plexiglass or Lexan. Best bet is to use striping tape to lay it out and sandblast it. I've done this on glass and see no reason why it wouldn't work as well on a mc windshield.
