"...our Trendfilm Etchlook has been a best seller of ours for over 30 years for a reason."

What's the visual difference between your private label Trendfilm and 3M Dusted and Etched Glass? All three are very similar, The 3M Dusted Crystal simulates a light etched glass look, the Frosted Crystal, has a crystal look from the adhesive side.
