Yeah but they are so expensive. If tint sticks to it I would love to do it that way!

| Post subject: | Tinting a soft top |
Hey, has anyone tinted a sierras soft top? Does it work and got any tips and tricks to getting it looking nice? I tinted the side two glass windows and they came up very nice so I know how to work with tint, just not sure if it'll stick onto the plastic stuff. Also I'm not 100% sure but am I right that I can tint the rear facing window and rear side windows on the soft top any darkness? I did the front glass windows %35 but maybe I can do the others a bit darker. All info and help in muchly apriciated! |

Spray tint? Same stuff people use on lights If it looks shit just wipe it off before it dries. Or just do a small test section |

Yeah thanks heaps. I actually just ordered two cans of it online! The more coats the darker it gets or something like that. Thanks! |

Would it be better to apply it from the inside or outside do you think?? |

If it was me I would do it on the inside shouldn't get scratched. Make sure it is really clean first or it will look shit. Once again do a test spot to make sure it will work. Make sure you only do very light coats otherwise it will run and look really shit. Once it dries maybe bend it a tad to make sure it will hold when it moves in the wind and when you take the soft top off. Apart from that post a photo when you are done Cheers Aaron |

I'll be cleaning and polishing it for hours before I put any coating on it! Hope the spray coating comes before I get home so I can start it right away! Thanks for you help mate! Thomas. |

Dont get polish anywhere near the plastic you want to tint.... or the paint wont stick. I just gave mine a clean and a dusting of matt black paint from soopa cheeep on the inside.... worked good.... couldnt see thru it beforehand anyway |

I think when they say polishing they mean with a very high grit wet rub |
