Many boats have plastic windshields to protect the driver and the passengers from the elements and from flying insects. One thing a windshield does not do is protect the driver from the harsh ultraviolet rays of the sun, which reflect off the water and cause a blinding effect. Tinting the plastic windshield on your boat is a fairly simple process. Just be sure you use a spray tint, as film will not adhere properly to the surface of the windshield.
Instructions
- 1
Clean the exterior surface of the window with window cleaner and wipe dry with a soft cloth. Remove any dirt or build-up from the surface to produce a clean finish.
2Apply painter's tape around the windshield to create a 2- to 3-inch-wide border.
3Shake the can of tint spray vigorously for one to two minutes to mix the contents thoroughly.
4Apply an even coat of tint spray over the entire surface of the windshield. Avoid holding the can in one spot for any length of time, as this can produce a puddle. Allow the tint spray to dry for two hours.
5Remove painter's tape from around the windshield.
