posible Reach EVA lens tint probiblem FIXED!!!

[Spartan 510]

i was siting in my house witching a car show and noticed that the tint they used was just a thin film that they apply with a little heat and time and was woundering if it would be posible to apply to a vac formed lens it probibly wont work with the halo3 EVA becouse of the creases in the lens but from what i can tell the reach helmet is pretty must flat. im look into cost and ill let you know how it turns out if i can do it my self and its not to expensive ima try it and keep you posted

They don't appear to offer a gold / silver / metallic blue tint though Dark which I assume would be what is being looked for usually.

another company makes other colors but yes I have used it espically the spray window tint and it gives great visibility

Yes I saw that, I was reffering to his comment that "another company makes other colors" and was curious to see who it was and what colours they offered

Ok Found out that this stuff needs to be ordered.... not cheap. and aparantley it gives off some major fumes.
Just throwing in my 2 cents.

 

[Spartan 510]

ya thats not a big problem with the fumes yu can get the maskes at home depo for like $20 and i always do that stuff out side any way

 

[Spartan 510]

oh and just making shure this tint will for shure bond with the plastic right becouse there is a bit of a diffrenc between plastic and glass and iv never used a tint product befor so i have really no clue

would submerging the visor in the desired colored water for like 3 days do anything? idk i kinda feel like going in that direction. like pressure cooking it or something

i know a easy way you can vacuum form it and later you use the thorssoli or redshirt way to paint it if you want it in another color just buy another and one thing

for me is better the complete helmet vacuum formed

spartan-b312 you double posted man.... not good but you do not have to do anything to the lense for this tint to work... i have used it on many plastic applications and it works great
