My blue jimny has blue tinted rear windows, they're not dark enough, can you add another layer of tint?
I also saw some tint spray paint for windows, I might consider that.

I did mine myself using normal signwriters vinyl which i got from a local place 1m x 2m was a tenner. I tried both the wet application method and the dry method approach on the outside and it bubbled both times, so i gave up and ripped it off and gave up.
Then after mentioning it to mate who's missus works at a pro signwriters i booked in and got them to do it for me. The girls there applied it to the inside of the windows rather than the outside and used a heat gun to get it spot on, no bubbles, no splits and it hasnt peeled 2 months later. They also did the rear window with perforated vinyl - black on the outside and white on the inside (i havent got any pics of that up yet) The sign writers were Mendip signs - www.thefarmsignshop.co.uk obviously my price was mates rates but it wasnt that expensive ;-)
Pics of both my efforts and the proper job are on

Hi mate i got a 10m role of limo black tint off Ebay for £6 and did it myself. I made some paper templates of the windows then cut the tint to same shape & size. Used the water spritzer method and it went on quite well with no bubbles . I would have a go yourself to be honest and save a lot of money. For £6 and a 10m role you can afford to do a bit of practice.
Thanks
James
