king 11,972 Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 I'm thinking of trying the above to black out the back windows on the jimny.it would probably cost £80+ to get them proper tinted.but a rattle can would cost £5 it's only used for dogs etc. Has anyone attempted it before..

So I'm thinking ah it's only a dog jeep I've removed the rear seats and plyed it out and dog guard in there.would spraying last and look half decent I would mask around the windows etc..
