- July 31, 2012, 22:59:19 PMI tried the the red Nightshades spray and the end result was terrible. I followed the instructions but the first coats seem to go on dry. The following coats seemed mottled and after drying for about 45 min I took off the masking paper hoping it looked better from the other side and I just groaned. I grabbed some varsol and soaked a rag and wiped it off quickly. Except for my garage floor and the rags looking like a murder scene the windsheild was clear again. Hey MarshallDol did yours come out even coloured? I'm a pretty decent painter but I certainly screwed this up. I'm not done trying the colour route and may try the spray again now that I know its not permanent. Any suggestions on the spraying technique ??

- July 23, 2012, 23:58:05 PMThere is a taillight paint used as well; does a beautiful job, (paint the inside of the windshield) but like any paint is subject to scratching. It should be available in auto-parts stores in the Good Ol'e U.S. of A like Checker or Napa.
Regards and such,

- July 23, 2012, 11:47:30 AMThere are spray paints you can use. I've seen testor's used (you paint the inside)... also at auto parts places there are tinting sprays available like Nite Shades brand, etc.

- July 22, 2012, 22:51:02 PMI like the Memphis Shades windshields with the coloured bottom section, but I've got a National Cycle which is in great condition. I want to go red but I doubt regular window tint would work for long. I'm thinking of the material they use in vehicle "wraps". Anyone have any suggestions?
