Spray on Window Tint - davecuk
Does anyone remember this stuff. In 1978 I owned an old Triunph GT6 (hardtop), I thought it would look snip good with Tinted windows. They used to sell this stuff in a can that you could spray onto the inside of clean windows and tint them.....yes even the windscreen.

In my wisdom I chose pale blue tint and armed with spray can in hand and meths rag in the other went of to titivate my pride and joy. It looked damm good when it was finished, just like the pictures on the can and I could even see reasonably well through the stuff.

A few days later a mate and I decided on a trip to the Isle of white (happening place in those days).....and having still had no trouble with the tint, decided to go in my newly blinged up motor. All was fine until we were waiting in the Ferry car park, it was a long wait so we got a couple of coffees and stood em on the dash........about 3 minutes later the tint was running down the windscreen and was such a snip mess that I couldn't see properly to drive. The coffee was hastily removed, but too late and it solidified into it's new position.

You would think it would have been easy to get off, but so, some bit's came off easy, for others it would have been easier to get a student to buy a round of drinks. I was still trying to get the all the crap off months later

LOl, you can still buy the stuff of ebay

My 20 year old cousin tinted his windows on his Astra. I guess it looks ok apart from the bottom where its a bit thicker then the rest of the windows

He has had no problem with coffee though, he would not allow coffee in his car!
