    Damaged finish on cabinet glass doors

    Looking for direction from talented artist to give me guidance on repairing the frosted glass in our RV. I noticed to late that during travel that material in the cabinets were scratching off some of the frosted finish inside the cabinets. Any ideas on how to fix this damage? I will attempt to attach a picture as well. Thanks for any ideas out there!

    I ran into the same problem, a couple dime sized spots on each door. I added some hard foam panels (I'll take some pics next time out to the camper) to sit between the contents of the cabinet and glass to further reduce the damage going forward. I bought some frosted self stick window film, with the intent of scraping off the rest of the painted frosting and applying this film. It's still sitting in the cabinet in the camper waiting to be installed

    As to repairing your damage, maybe some of the artificial snow in a can and then hit it with some hairspray to hold it in place? I recommend testing it on some loose spare glass first :-)

    Just hit it with this. $4 and you can frost everything! Tape the edges.

    Used this stuff on a bathroom window that wasn't frosted in our home. Worked great!

    Thanks for the idea. I had plexiglass in two of the upper cabinets after I noticed the initial damage, but the trouble spread to other cabinets. Foam board on my shopping list!

    I also was the proud recipient of a couple of those wonderful scratches. I bought a bottle of white fingernail polish to use a a touch up and it works great!

    Our daughter used the Rust-Oleum product to frost vertical sections on both side glass panels of their front door as noted the attached picture. She said it worked well and has held up for nearly three years with their mini Golden Doodle and our grandson trying their best to scratch or otherwise modify mom's work ! I would think it will work very well on your RV panels to touch up (or re-do) as well, Pam & Rick.
