I have seen cars with windows treated to blend with the paint job, but where do you get it done and what do you call it?

Like this Check Depot car, except I just want plain white for the GMC windows:

A wrap and you should be able to find shops that specialize in it. My friends wants me to do a Partridge Family wrap on my coach. Naaaah!

Yup, it sticks to the outside, just like the van on "Modern Family." :-)

How well can you see through it?

They can use a perforated wrap material. Like the screen on a microwave window. If you focus past it you can see through it. Just make sure they understand you want to see through it.

76 Birchaven - "Wicked Mistress" - New engine, trans, alum radiator, brakes, Sully airbags, fuel lines, seats, adult beverage center... those Coachmen guys were really thinking about us second hand owners by including that beverage center... Columbia, SC.

Wrap material on exterior body has about a 5 year lifespan, according to someone who does large numbers for GovT vehicles. He is an ex-GMC owner, for content.
The window screen covering allow 50% light to pass, keeping you legal with the cops.
Would be nice to do.
