Back in the day we used to spraypaint the backside of the windshield with a good plastic gloss paint. The window then looked like it had 20 layers of clearcoat on it. Not sure what everyone does now.

yep, flat black paint on the inside of the shield....looks awesome from the other side.

I did the same with some Firecat headlight covers a few years back. Even with the heat from the headlights it worked perfectly. As long as you paint the inside of the shield it will even look like it came from the dealer

Used Krylon Fusion paint on a buddies Xterra trim years ago, still looks great, check it out, pretty sure it's a rustoleum product, made for plastics

i just used flat black spray paint from the inside it looked good.. or you can buy a little sheet of window tint and throw it on

I wet sanded the inside of the windshield with 1000 grit paper to give it a good profile for the paint to stick. It will look like sh!t after you do this. Almost like frosted glass. Then I used Krylon Fusion black paint on it. It looks awsome and hasn't chipped one bit.

JohnniT is correct!! Use the Pactra spray paint from the hobbie stores it's flexible and made for plastics. Give the windshield a good soapy wash and dry. Tape or cover the front to prevent overspray. Apply nice even light sprays usually about 2 cans to the backside not the front. Then finish it off with a silver or white spray this keeps it a solid black without allowing any light thru.

Just get a can of black out from buzz boxliners or jbs power centre did the tailights on my truck & 670 summit. Doesn't fade but never done a clear windshield also made for plastics!!!!
