Quick question guys when do you apply parma airbrush window tint? before or after painting the shell? I'm reckoning after but probably making sure all the paintwork is backed nice and solid first.
Am i Right?

That's the way I do it. Once I finish with my airbrush job, and it has dried thouroughly, I will usually back it with a few coats of metallic silver (from a can). Then after that dries I remove the window masks and shoot the tint.

Your reckoning is correct, after. Window tint is so thin that I wouldn't be very concerned about a heavy coat of silver backing. Just a light coat will be enough.
