Thank you both for your input.
This will be a print, so it will have to be applied to the outside of the storefront windows.
The 1/8" perimeter cut will be done. My understanding is that it will ensure adhesion as the vinyl contracts. If I did not cut the vinyl 1/8" from the glass, there may...
I have been requested to cover three large windows, 10ft by 5ft, with vinyl prints. They do not want the windows to be "see thru" so I plan on using 3M Vehicle Wrap along with a laminate. The print itself will have large pictures with black, graphical fames that separate the pics.

Could be...however, I don't see any advantage to painting smalts. Some of the reflective qualities would be lost when painted. If you have to match the paint color exactly, I would suggest using HDU and sandblasting. This will leave a pebble effect for the background, similar to smalt. Then...

I'd use the 3M as well with laminate. If you have a large sign & a Big Squeegee, you'll thank yourself! Just recently applied 3 panels of vinyl to a 5'x10' aluminum sign in 45 minutes using the forementioned.
We ask for logo payment upfront. Like you said, the customer will take your design and run if you let them.
It is very important to tell the customer what they will be recieving...
