Does anyone know of a do-it-yourself tint that works on polycarbonate/plexiglass more to the point percys speedglass rear windscreen 94 z28.

I was all set had some rolls of 35% in hand and started reading (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) the back and it said not to use on plexiglass anyone know why? Guys at store are no help at all.

Anyone have a reason I should not do it anyways (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) A part of me wants to. The windows are done I just need to blackout front and tint and blackout rear. It would look terrible not being tinted.

Now to really get it to stick good you need to leave the covering over it to protect what you don't want to spray. Mask the rest of it off..then remove the protective covering where you want to spray. Rough up the surface to get it to stick, then wipe it down with some cleaner like alcohol then spray it like you would anything else....remember spay from the back side, like a R/C body.

Works wonderful...lasts long time. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
