An update.


Sorry for the blurry pictures - I'm now using an actual camera and trying to figure out settings. The camera also doesn't give a review of the picture once you take it, and I didn't notice it was blurred until I had moved on. Oh well.


So I researched a bit for window tinting, and just decided to use Tamiya Smoke spray on the tint. I tested it on an old Countach model that I'm planning on redo-ing and it came out better than I thought.


So, step one for windows, masking. Here is the rear window masked and ready to go.





After painting and removing the mask. A couple of bleed through spots but that's easy to clean up.





Cleaned up:





Another shot (better):





Front/side windows masked part one:





Complete masking:





Painted, mask removed. A couple more bleed throughs but it was better than the back window - until I noticed that the mask covered the top too much. I'll have to do some fine touch ups tonight.




I thought I took more pictures but apparently that was it. I'll take more this afternoon.

On the docket for today: finish window trim edging and then first light coat of smoke (of a great many).
