I didn't know they still made tinting spray. I used it in 1967 on my '62 VW, it worked great.

But since you're eventually going to replace the screen anyway, you might just want to paint the inside black, like stated above.

Oh, and I put on a Lockhart Phillips dark smoke screen last summer, for under $50. It really makes a big difference in the appearance of the bike. Even got one for my wife's SV.

I'm not sure how you could get the tint coat even enough over a large surface like that, so it didn't look blotchy. With normal paint, it doesn't matter how thick it is as long as it covers it. Would it be possible to roll tint on there or is it curved too much?



I used to swap visors and even had two helmets. But it sucks ***** when you don't plan ahead and end up having to ride home in the dark with tint. At least with a clear windscreen you could duck behind it and open your visor. After a movie once I had to swap helmets with my g/f to get home because she had the clear visor, on her PINK helmet, lol.

Basically, you should tint the visor or the windscreen, but not both.

I finally put a tint strip on my helmet. It's perfect! I can tip my head a bit on the rare occasion that the sun is on the horizon ahead of me, and I don't have to ever swap visors. My g/f put a shield on hers that darkens in the sun, but it doesn't darken enough to let you stare into the sun.

Don't tint the headlight, that's ridiculous IMO, unless you never ride at night. I already have the relay upgrade and still want to go brighter.



The universal one works great on my Shoei. They have an Arai-specific one too.

I think I will be trying the VHT nite shades to do my stock wind screen.

I assume you put it on the underside of the wind screen?

I like the idea of being able to tint it darker by putting more coats on it 5%-100% it says.

Their website says that Checker/Kragen Autozone and Napa are all suppliers of their product so you may be able to have them order it if they dont have it in stock.

I've seen tint paint from various companies in the spray paint section. VHT makes some good stuff.

Do you spray the inside or outside of the windscreen?

dvwalker

I guess nobody knows?

Always spray or tint the inside. This will protect it from bugs and rock chips and cleanings.

that's what I was going to attempt. I do have a scuff on the front side of the screen and was curious if it would make it stand out or not.

That's a great idea! Don't know why I never thought of that.
