Rear glass is in. It looks great, glad I paid to have it installed. No more rust anywhere on the car and fresh paint. Life is good

Did you look at the glass edge to determine laminated / tempered?

Well I have the pictures on my computer and can't figure out how to get them on here and I'm leaving for two weeks first thing in the morning. I tried to add a picture to my signature but I am not sure that worked. I will figure it out when I return.

They were that way when I bought the car. One needs a touch up but they still look good. He is going to do it when he gives it a final wet sand, wax and puts the odd parts back on.

I tried to tape and paint a set years ago. It did not work out well.

There is some sort of reusable plastic mask that one drops on the cap while you paint.

I doubt you will get a super sharp line by any means, besides, a fade out / taper is probably better since it does not leave a shadow / bump.
