A method for coating a glass article includes obtaining a glass article; selecting a coating including a fluorinated polyimide, and coating the glass article with the selected coating including the fluorinated polyimide. The fluorinated polyimide having a cohesive energy density less than or equal to 300 KJ/mol, and a glass transition temperature (T.sub.g) less than or equal to 625 K.

A glass-based preform for a mirror of a heads-up display (HUD) system, including a glass-based substrate having a first major surface, a second major surface opposite to the first major surface, and a minor surface connecting the first and second major surfaces; a first chamfer at an edge of the first major surface, the first chamfer having a first end at an intersection of the first chamfer and the first major surface and having a second end at an intersection of the first chamfer and the minor surface; and a second chamfer at an edge of the second major surface, the second chamfer having a first end at an intersection of the second chamfer and the second major surface and having a second end at an intersection of the second chamfer and the minor surface. The first chamfer has a different size or shape from the second chamfer.

Textured glass laminates are described along with methods of making textured glass laminates. The textured glass laminates may be formed via addition of nanoparticles or manipulation of the glass surface. Laminate compositions are designed to take advantage of glass clad and core properties at Tg, annealing point, strain point, and or softening point, along with glass clad and core viscosities. The resulting compositions are useful for anti-reflection surfaces, anti-fingerprint surfaces, anti-fogging surfaces, adhesion-promoting surfaces, friction-reducing surfaces, and the like.
