It's lighter than Nightshades and says it's for windows, headlights, etc....but who actually would use this stuff on the windows? Would it really stick on glass pretty well? If so, this might be the easiest way to apply/remove window tint yet. (You spray it on the inside part of the windows just like applying tint film).

Check it out here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/VHT-Smoke-Tint-Similar-to-Nite-Shades-Night-Taillights_W0QQitemZ290008070450QQihZ019QQcategory Z6755QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Only problem I see is how even would the coverage be (depending on the person applying it) on a large area like windows. Plus, you pretty much have to guess-timate whether your amount of tint is within the legal limits.

Anyway, it sounds cool but I'm leary about using it on the windows.

Maybe on:

-taillights, turn signals, sidemarkers (use Nightshades for darker tint)
-rims/chrome parts (for that black chrome look)
-headlights, fog lights (perfect for that tint look without sacrificing visibility)

Yeah let us know how well it sticks on glass. Most of the older cars had glass headlights instead of plastic like today's cars. If it can stick on glass headlights, it can stick on windows.

i can't imagine it would look good on a window.. it's be hard to get even coverage i think.. plus it would rub up against the weather stripping every time you rolled down the window which probably wouldnt be good

Adding tint is one of the most visible mods you can do to your car; you can see it when you're inside or outside of the car, and when driving you'll look through it all the time.. hell it will be inches from your eyes if you have your driver's window tinted. It's worth spending the money on real tint.. i

can't imagine how ghetto a spray painted tint would look.. when light shines through something you can see every impefection.. unless it was perfectly even all over you would get light and dark splotches and tiny spots everywhere where the droplets hit and then spread out

i am painting all of them, one by one though, i gotta figure out how to take off the door ones (all i did was front fender ones soo far....) and the rear ones.... and the bumper ones, and how to take off the rear window glass (i have a coupe...) so i can paint all the other trim......

i was planning on getting real tint job anyways. lol. it was just an idea..... lol

wait, dont tint the windshield. the only tint i would ever don on windsheild would be lightest one possible. it make the car stand out more.... and cops dont care VERY much, unless its been a bad day...

i was thinking about masking it off, but i dont want to have overspray everywhere.... im tempted to take off the bumpers and do it. and if i dont sell the lip, i just might install it while im at it (or i can just have monkey do it. LOL!)

the guy who tinted my car tinted his windshiled but took it off cause he said it made things a little blurry. He only put it on cause it was virtually invisible yet blocks 50 of infrared light (vkool brand tint)

it's illegal to put any kind of film on the windshield, except for a 6 inch strip along the top. that could have been what the tinter was referring to

and geddy your car looks so much better tinted.. 3geez look like a million times better with tint.. i could barely stand to look at my new car till it was tinted lol.. plus driving at night with no tint when you're used to it sucks ass with everybody's bright ass lights
