Ok so ive seen a few people on here that have 'blacked' there back window with spraypaint instead of tinting.
Ive just done this now just want some tips on reversing without hitting anything lol.

I know, got some proper idustrial strength stuff at work to get the paint off if i change my mind, also one of the reasons i painted it to begin with as i know i can just wipe it straight off if i dont like it.

Painting windows for security is balls, if you paint your windows you don't have anything worth stealing in the car.
