Most times you can get a few cans of spray tint and do a decent looking job on your windows, but I would only use it on a beater car or truck you do not really need.  The spray tint is great on your tail lights when used to black them out, and that is where I find it to be most useful. These really look cool with some chrome rims and low profile tires to match it all up and have a sweet looking ride to show off around town.

Most sprays are a black type of mist and you need to be sure to apply more than one coat so that it does not want to run and ruin the look. Patience is the key here, as with any job, so spray a bit then take a 10 minute break and detail the car or clean the wheels.

Many times people think saving a few bucks and being cheap will be best in the long run. Well, I have mixed views on that as I have done some good jobs before, but many times I wish I would have just paid someone to do it for me.

All in all, you have to be the one to find out if DIY tint is for you or not. I think everyone should try it and you might have the skill and time to do it right. Just do not be surprised if you decide to take it to a pro later. No matter what it is always fun to work on our cars and with friends around too.

On a side note, green cars really do not look that great with chrome rims or window tint.  Maybe it is just  me, but I have seen very few greenish type vehicles that look sweet.  If I am wrong point me in the right direction.

Be prepared to clean your wheels though. Nothing is worse than dirty chrome, so if you do not want to put forth the effort go with a silver or aluminum wheel.  It is worth it though to go chrome, unless you are very lazy.

Black cars with a nice tint job really stand out, as I have seen in the past, and combining them with chrome wheels provides a great combination. You can really improve the looks and length of quality looking rims by making sure you clean them at least one or twice a week, and even taking them off during the winter. They could rust or get all pitted or corroded if you do not do anything and leave them on all year round. Do not do this to your pricey investment as they will look bad too. It only takes a few minutes to shine up your wheels and protect them with special products or just plain wax during the winter months.

The same can be said for white cars, maybe I am just biased though!
