Fish-eye, runs, etc. Never did work out for me. The TAMIYA 'Smoke' colour,
however, was amazing. Went on even, easy to control the tint colour, and has
lasted through 3 seasons of heavy flying. I'd highly recommend
it.</SPAN></FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>

<BLOCKQUOTE><FONT face=arial,helvetica><FONT color=#505050 size=2>I used
Pactra Window Tint on the inside of a Venus 40 canopy. Was not reallly
satisfied with the result. It is way too dark. I thought I had
shaken the can well but the first coat was not only splotchy but had specks of
black pigment. I tried to even it with a second coat. From a foot
away the splotches can't be seen but the canopy is as dark as the rear windows
on some minivans. <BR><BR>Allan Worrest <BR><BR>In a message dated 5/1/2003

water based <BR>dyes. You can tint it by mixing a small amount of
black, or whatever color <BR>you like, with clear coat and spraying the
inside of the canopy. Also, <BR>Pactra has a window tint mainly used
for clear plastic R/C car bodies that <BR>works. <BR><BR>Lee Davis
