Turned out good for window tint, but can't really tell the difference. The change is really subtle. Probably showed the pic to somebody and asked "What's different" it would be a minute before anyone noticed. but still clean work.

ive always liked the g50 very clean. 25 mm spacer and more stretch would let it off nicely
. good luck with your build

Oh, I didn't even think about that. Maybe some red or red candy mixed into a clear coat would be better? Should have the same effect, but with the UV protection of the clear.

it will probably last from a year to 2 years, but it was a quick and cheap fix.
