spray paint? i have some actually.. but i bought it to tint my tail lights for my car im gonna black it all out. Its called racing paint or some shit.. they sell it at hobby stores, you start with one coat and you keep spraying until you get the shade you like.

i would probably go with window film tint.. not sure how removable the spray stuff is.. if its as easy as wiping it off with some paint thinner then i'd say thats better.

^not better than my shop....and where down the street..

reason i say is because is from what i hear they are old school with the way they tint. one of our old costumer went over to them by accident thinkin it was us, he took them an eclipse wich has a hella round window in the back and they couldnt even tint it talkin about they needed to cut up the film into four pieces to tint it...my brother did that shit in one piece and it came out pimp.

he left them his eclipse from like 12 or sumthin to 4 in the afternoon and they didnt get anything done on it.

but im pretty sure they will do a good job on the more common cars.

HAHAHAHAHA Spray tint.........


FUCK


THAT.


Holy shit, that stuff's bad for your body and is such a pain to deal with.


Stay away from colored tint.
Stay away from fade tint.
Get on some metalized window tint. Not that Lexus shit.

yeah that tint is meant to be put inside of homes not for the sun to be beatin down on it.

and if its cheap color tint that you get put on it will start breaking down and fading after like 6 months

is there any sort of timeframe that regular tint fades? ive seen a few peopels shit looking raggedy. theres alot of mexican mechanics out here wo do tint too but from what ive been told i should never get any tint done by anyone who does it outside or under some sort of tarp because of air bubbles or some shit..so when i did it i was prolly looking to spend for the quality.
