Black contact paper will work fine if you can get all of the bubbles out. I know that when you get your windows tinted they spray something on the glass that keeps the film from sticking too much and allows them to squeegee the bubbles out. I forget what it was they used, but it wasn't anything special. I think it was fabric softener or salad dressing or something like that.

For my background, I got a peice of MDF (Medium Density Fibreboard), sprayed it ocean blue, then covered it with clear contact you use for school books. Works a treat.

It was 1 teaspoon baby shampoo and 2 quarts water.
