I think a better answer could be given if you explained what you wanted from painting it though...

scuff it up with some 500grit wet sand paper, and this is the most important step of all, make sure you use a plastic adhesion promoter. It is an aresol product you spray on and let sit for about 15 minutes or so, this makes the surface accept paint much better than simply scuffing. If your windshield is made from a softer meterial like acutal plastic and not lexan or plexi-glass, use a scotchbright scubbing pad, reason being 500grit will leave deeper scratchs that will be harder to fill with paint and will show through. Good luck
