Default Tinting a screen?

Has anyone ever considered using tinted Window Spray on their windshield, or even done it? I like the look of the dark screen but before I spend around £50 on one i just wanted to make sure a £6 can of spray doesn't give the same effect!!

Oh no dont do it!

When i got my TT600 the screen had been sprayed but it looked BAD. There were fingerprint marks between screen and spray that couldnt be removed and slowly the spray started to wear away leaving clear spots.
I replaced it after a week with a proper dark tint screen.

Just my experience x

I assume you mean the screen and not the visor?

Give it a shot - what is the worst that can happen?

Here's a "cheap as chips" alternative which is easy to put back to stock..

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/LIMO-BLACK-CAR...item1c10e371d4

And if you're creative you could even cut your own design before fitting.

Gotta be worth a punt at 99p.
