I decided to buy a double bubble after reading a review on the forums and figured I'd have some fun with the stock windshield in the meantime.
I took it to a tint shop but they did not want to tint it saying that plexiglass emits some gas that causes bubbles and that it expands/shrinks differently in heat, or something along those lines.
Anyway, decided to just try and paint it, so bought some lens tint by rustoleum from autozone because I didn't want it to be completely black.
I put 3 coats on it, waiting about 10 min between each one. They were very light, and I almost wish I had done a few more now for more smoothness. Anyway, here is how it turned out.
It has this odd texture when you hold it up to a light which I didn't like at first but kind of dig it now. It's dark outside, otherwise i'd put it back on the bike to see what it looks like.
