Default Re: Pilot or no Pilot....

I use Pactra window tint. The only thing is, you need to heat the can up in some hot water to keep it from splattering. If you bring the can up to about 90 degrees and shake it real well, it comes out much cleaner.

The RIT dye work on some canopies, and not for others, it depends on the material used. Using the dye method will also limit the depth of tint you get, the plastic will only accept so much color. In using the spray method, just add more coats until you get the amount of color you want, light, even coats. Do not get impatient, let it dry fully between coats.

Oh yeah, I'm sure you already know this, but just in case, spray the inside of the canopy.
