Default Window Tint

Hi all,

I'm wanting to tint the windows on by fuselage but I'm having problems sourcing Black window tint spray in the UK. I've found a "Smoke" tint spray but that is not the smooth finish I'm after.

Any body got any suggestions?

If it's "smoothness" rather than "blackness" that's the problem, how about sraying on the inside of the window, and letting the clear plastic window provide the sheen? Also, you can always get a polish(I find perspex polish is a good starting point) that when applied to the outside will really make it gleam!
If It's "Blackness", multiple coats might work

Cheers

Chris

Or you could get hold of a carbon fiber screen, looks pretty cool!

Failing that you could use a dark or black clothing die, It will stain the plastic of the canopy screen.
