Default Tinting windscreen done..... pics

I finished tinting the windscreen. I used spray window tint for rc cars from a rc hobby store. I ended up using the little can and doing 12 light coats till i got the darkness i wanted. Then a couple clear coats. I think it turned out pretty good for a cheap job. It could be better with some wet sanding but i think its fine. You can tell it was sprayed on and not a smoke screen when you look at it from closer than like 5 ft. Worth the 8 $ in paint. Looks much better than stock imo. looks better with some of them little bugs cleaned off of it too.

looks pretty sweet
I have a cheap ebay smoke DB on mine (other one got jacked up somehow!)

i think I would have liked to keep the stock.
Very clear and thicker than the cheap one I got.

Id say your spray job looks great in the Pics.
