Tinted Wind Stop

[aussieboxy]

I recall seeing a thread on a forum, unsure if it was her and I am unable to relocate it, where an owner replaced the perspex in his wind stop with a tinted version.

Has anyone done this or otherwise tinted their windstop? I'm unsure if you can tind perspex and have looked at how to get the exiisting perspex out of it's frame but it's secured pretty well.

Any idea's?

I tried tinting the windstop with normal window tint, it worked for about 5 days.

About 2 years ago I came across paint that is designed for Lexan. Its uses to tint the windows of model cars. I paid about $20 for the aresol can of paint and shipping.

I prepped the window by cleaning it and then sprayed as even as a coat as possible. I let it dry a few hours then did another coat. It took about 4 very thin coats to get the wind stop as dark as I wanted. It appears to be normal tint.

Hope this helps.

I tinted mine with store bought 35% tint. But after driving around, especialy at night, I found it very hard to see out of the back. So I removed it the next day. I think I will wait until I buy a hard top, and then have that rear window tinted. I've used that spray on tint before on another car. I used it on a sun-roof, but it just looked like it was textured/frosted black after it dried. I wasn't to crazy about the way it looked when was done.
