You can find the testors smoke or transparent black at a hobby shop; it's used to give RC and model cars the "tinted" window look. Since the paint is designed to be sprayed on the inside of a clear lexan body, it's not necessarily going to give you a shiny finish, or be that durable in the end. I would highly recommend going with a few coats of clearcoat over the tint. _____________ List Sponsor: http://www.netsville.com To remove yourself from this list, send mail to [email protected] with 'unsubscribe a2_16v' in the body of your message See us on the web at http://www.a2-16v.com Visit the 16V Homepage at http://www.gti16v.org
