I wouldn't use it on the windows even though you may be able to. Search nightshades. There's a couple of write-ups on how to use it. It seems to work well for most people although it all depends on how clean the surface is and how it's prepped.

I think if you did spray it on the window, and wet sanded it enough, it might actually look good. I don't think I would mess with it personally due to Illinois gay tint laws, and the complexity of taking it off if I had to. Good luck if you choose to do it!

And in FL they dont really care to much about how dark tint is, i have 5% on my car and have pulled next to a cop at a light and he didnt say a word. Also a friend who has 2.5% tint on his car, so im not really worried about none of that.
So nobody has tried this stuff before?

Why don't you just have your windows tinted? This is straight from VHT's site.
VHT Nite-Shades is a transparent black tail light lens coating for creating a custom European styling. When applied to tail lights, fog lights or turn indicators, VHT Nite-Shades appears black until they are lit, then the natural red color appears. Recommended for off road use. Warning: Once applied to plastic lens, SP-999 is not able to be satisfactorily removed.

Ok we all know how well this stuff works on headlights tailights and foglights, its been proven time and time again. But when it comes to windows get it done right. Dont mess with this stuff. You get runs, you get uneven applications, it usually turns into a real headache unless you have experience with it or with painting. With sooo many tint shops around these days, it would cost less that $150 to get all three windows done. Id rather shell out a measly 150 than deal wit the stress and headaches. Plus most states you cant have windows on the side tinted so how would you remove it? You can simply peel the film off; this stuff would be a nightmare to get off. I mean if you get a ticket of course.

^yes it does block UV rays. Also, when we get our windows done they always cut around the defroster. Is this going to mess anything up if you spray on top of the defroster wires? Will it melt like real tint?

YES, i could go get my windows tinted, all i wanted to know was if people have tried this method or not, and how well it worked. If there are people that have tried it and had bad experiences or good experiences, thats fine. I was just curious
