I was looking into buying some paint at the hobby shop made for tinting RC car bodies, and using it on the 07's windshield. see how it would turn out. So this evening i picked some up an some Tint and some black paint just incase i didnt like how it looked tinted. i tested the tint on some plexiglass, and its pretty hard to get an even coat, no matter how many light coats you apply, expecially when painting a larger surface area like the windshield. So i decided to use the outlaw black i bought. i scuffed the inside of the shield, cleaned it with rubbing alcohol, and masked off the outer edges and the upper lip. It turned out pretty good for $5. Sooner or later i may buy a puig shield, but this looks pretty sexy as is.
