Tinting

Post by HirotoR34 »

I've been seeing some rides with tinted windows. Is it film or spray?

I used a Sharpie Marker myself.

If you have access to a place that tints windows you may be able to get some scraps of the film and use them.

i color tape with sharpies then stick it on the inside so i can change my tint :) . Or you could get already colored clear plastic and attach it, like the clear thing on a strobe light.

I did it with some glass paint i bought from an art store. Green and blue are the nicest, red looks gay.

You should tint the windows with you cars comlementary colous. e.g
if u have a green car tint the windows green.
Yellow car, purple tint.
red car, use a blue tint.

Do the same with under car glow.

I have a Testor's spray tint that is a bitch to use. Very, very thin coats must be applied or it will run then you have to start over again. It's also hard to spray this shit evenly on the inside. After several attempts with this, I ended up using a flat black paint on the inside and it turned out perfect!
