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. Tony |

I don't think they will let you race on track like that.They did let me on track in HPDE 1/2.But they may not in 3/4. It just seem's like more work/trouble and you might have to take it off Alright John now you are starting to discourage me! Quit it already (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) My intention was to only LIGHT tint the rear windscreen its blindingly clear (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) . Light enough tint you and others CAN see thru. I am concerned when it comes to safety. So I'm thinking about it alright. Nothing in the rules or CCR about it... not saying your reasoning is not bonafide. My last car I was using OT had dark tint rear...thats when you point over roof for rightside. Sightly pointing out driver window for leftside pass. The stock rear glass I removed from the 94 dark tint jeez I'M screwed either way. Guess I better leave the rear clear in the spirit of safety (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) I didnt think it was a bad idea being LIGHT and only rear. Mainly was a appearance mod anyways "just looks better" and the fact that we get some blazing sun summers here too wanted that extra little bit of buffer. I still cant find any tint specifically for polycarbonate plexiglass. And the warnings on the back of the box of conventional tint well... But hey I cant be to discouraged. I have the windscreens done either way, well ok I got to paint the edges! And put them back on (:7 month sigh:) I got some Krylon Fusion for plastic to try on one of the scrap trim pieces. See how it works. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/burnout.gif) Tony |
