Tinted windows

[filipinoguy]

Hey guys. How do you tint your windows? Is it a paint you buy or something ?
Also if anyone had pics that'd be great .

I've known people to actually use the tint film for real cars. Most of the more serious body experts here use an airbrush and spray a thinned out black/blue mixture.

I personally have used the can of Pactra tint spray. But when using these, you have to make sure the paintjob is back with white and silver so the tint does not bleed through. Also, make sure the can is warm and well shaken before you begin.

Faskolor makes a window tint for airbrushes it comes out looking a little brown so i mix a drop or two of black to make it right.

Id agree with Albertt, Pactra tint spray is a successful and cheap option, you have to be prepared to tint the windows last as it is advised to start the spray away from the window first, then glide over it as a higher viscosity of paint may come out of the can at the start which you dont want. Heres what i did to my Ferrari Enzo :D

I use some pactra smoke charcoal color (or something like that). A few light coats through the airbrush works great!.

I have used the window tint in a can before, but it does have a tendency to bleed through other colors.

Thanks for the comments but I decided not to tint my windows on my recently painted HPI Daishin Silvia cause it has a rollcage lookin' thing on the window trim decal , and I wanted it to stand out.:cool:
