I plan on applying some to the top 6-10 inch's of a Super ATV full flip windshield. The cost of Sun Visors is just ridiculous ....(in my opinion)...

I'm sure it's been used before, would love to here your feed back whether you used it or not.

Here's the stuff I decided to try....2PLY 20" X 10FT ROLL 35% VLT MEDIUM SHADE WINDOW TINTING FILM TINT 20"x10' 35% b | eBay
We’re running tinted windshield and love it. Tried 3 different colors and like the bronze the best

Are you able to recall the shade % that you used....I thought I'd start out with 35%....can't beat the price if it's to light or to dark.

I’m 20% on entire windshield and side windows but there has to be a lot of light. For just a stripe on upper windshield I’d think 35 would be perfect

Not going to last on plexi or plastic very long until it looks like crap.. I tinted my half shield even after reading that plastic puts off some gas when heated and that it wouldn't take very well. Looked a little bubbly at first and a lot bubbly in 6 months. Ended up taking it off and going with a perforated type film like you see on city bus's. Holding up much better than the tint.

You are right about that and good call. It’s called a release agent that’s in plastics to release it from the mold but lexan does have less then some. Heating up the plastic and whiping the area with alcohol then window cleaner will help dramatically.

You are correct. I think you told me that when i went to put the red tint on the clear plexi inside of my roof where it says 'Gettin' Tipsy' Within a week or 2 it was bubbling up just like you said.
