Is the back black too? We were wanting to use it to black out canopy windows. Cheaper than tint but not as messy as paint....

Did you end up buying this item to use to black out windows? If so, how did it work out?

Yes it's completely black on both sides and would probably work quite well for that if you are wanting to completely cover them.

Yes -- as soon as you peel off the backing, you'll see the "sticky" black side; so it should work on your windows.

It seems as tho it would - I wouldn't think that tint would keep window from breaking ! Not mentioned - hope I never need to find out

Yes you can color tint it a bit by mixing. I liked it very much. It does leave a residue..I would much rather that physical barrier than being poisoned by the other crap on the market. Joel Fuhrman recommended it so I tried it and it works very well. I did not use it memorial weekend and got burned to a crisp because I was having too much fun working and mowing the grass for my former employer and saying hi to all the families visiting their fallen and surviving (but still transitioned) war heroes. Great people.

Shade cloth on the outside of windows works great, but I would get beige rather than the black pictured here. I made lightweight wood frames and stapled the shadecloth to those, then attached them above and below the window with screws. This allows easy removal and replacement.

There are two different kinds. There is a clear one and black tinted backing. I have a clear backing. It's completely see through with no tint.

Yes, a dark tint. If the truck windows are tinted it is hard to see out the back. Especially with sunglasses on.

It makes the wood grain show through the paint. A lot of people said they didn't use it with dark tint but we did and are happy with result.

Hmmm, you may have some issues with it being darker if tinted windows but overall should work.

I just received mine and it is clear. Given the thickness, it's not glass-clear so it does provide some opacity however it's definitely not white. It looks like the painting drop cloths you see at Home Depot (but pay double for). This is a good product, I'm glad I ordered it. We're using it to solarize our soil in the lawn.

If you need 100% blackout I wouldn't recommend this. It will darken the panes in the door or window, but not to the point where they are completely opaque. Frosting or etching the glass (like in a shower door) would help, but may not block enough of the light. Good luck.

Tinted windows should work. I have not tried it myself on a tinted window but user reviews on other sites suggests that it will work just fine.

It's as dark as you need it. You mix the color. It comes with two tint tubes of color one light and one dark, and you mix it as dark as you need it.

I did not color mine, although it seems that I read it could be tinted. The tint would just reduce the reflective nature of the product some, obviously the darker the tint the less reflective, and so on. I hope this helps.

Hi, It is not a one way tint like they put on car. It does not create any privacy. Just dims the glass a slight bit. If you put it side by side with a window without you will notice a slight difference, otherwise you will eventually forget it is even there. Kinda of tricky (requires patience) to install but not too hard.

It has a white backing that stays on the rubber patch, but you can still see black around the edges. I would overcoat it with roof coating. The repair works just fine.

You need to peel the clear plastic backing off. It's like a sticker. Use two pieces of masking tape in the corner and use it pull apart and separate. You need to spray it while you peel it with soapy water so it doesn't touch itself and stick together. If you haven't tinted Windows before, I suggest you watch some videos on utube. It's not easy if it's your first time doing it.

It would be a lot easier just to paint any unfinished back area with black paint. I don't think you can turn the pieces around. There isn't a lot of solid panels in the back any way , so why not just paint what ever you want to look finished?
