Done. $110 for front two and tailgate. match is the right darkness, but yes the colour is slightly greenish, as opposed to matt black. Charlie and tint-mart does have experience with matching it, also being a spraypainter by trade.

You know how when mixing paint you can cancel out colour tinges? well, by using a slightly coloured tint, you can actually cancel out the green/add to the green (depending on how you look at it) to make it black. same as with painting a car, how a hint of silver in the mix will cancel out gold.

we are going to try it out over a few weeks, see how we go.

pics so far -

Looks OK to me, more than acceptable. A straight side on shot without the reflections would be handy.

cheers

and here it is!!

as you can observe, darkness is right, just kinda greenish... apparently a red/pink (??) could cancel it out, to black.

and its too dark to get photos without reflections!!

I hope you can succeed... we tried every shade/colour variation from SunGuard (we're a SunGuard superstore) that seemed like it would work, but no go. We got pretty close with SunGuard DS 20, but by that stage the front windows were reading 16%, while the rear tinted glass was around 26%... big difference in darkness but a tradeoff of looking *almost* uniform with the rear windows.

The rear hatch doesn't matter so much because of the 'round the corner' thing SydneyKid mentioned.

Rezz would putting a 'green' tinge film on the back windows work to match the front?

Hey qikstagea, I can see you

Not really, cos the green would be on the OTHER side of the tint, whereas at the front, the TINT is on the far side. Thats why itll be hard to do. Its NEVER going to be perfect... but we'll definitely get it closer than it is.

guess its lucky i threw some clothes on to walk out there stageagirl...! like my socks? my fiance came out and got up me for wearing white socks on wet grass lol
