   I couldn't see spraying glass looking up as good as the tints you can get. I wouldn't go for spray but for the film stuff (Minds gone blank)

   side two you wont have a problem with, but the back iss very very hard on a saxo because of the curvature, do the sides yourself and get the back done professionally IMO

   I would get the tint film mate, it is possible to tint spray them however getting an even finish over such a large surface area is tricky. Also I would expect it to try tacky on the glass.

    depends how you apply it tho i guess, its like spraying wheels,
    if you hold to close and get runs yeah will look shit, just tape up and take your time should come out rather even hmmm

    Never heard of tint spray myself, almost like a thread I seen where someone had used bin liners as tints. Pmsl

    still not sure about this i reckon taking the windows out and spraying them would be ok but then u have to wait for them to dry so really you proberly better buying the windows done and bolting them in or trying to do the film urself that my conclusion anyway

    as said by everyone else, just get the film and do the back two yourself.. and pay for the rear one to do be done professionally

    2 rear quaters are easy enough, the back one is difficult tho, but worth doing yourself than paying as a good finish can still be achived.
