What product works best to tint it with? Also has anyone used this on a boat?

I called my local automotive paint store and gave them the paint code off my jeep. My experience was it took about twice the paint to get a darker color, but it does get even darker as it cures, which took mine over a month.

Go to an auto body paint store and get tint from them usually it is free. It works great on a boat. Just make sure you clean well and scuff sand. Both aluminum boats and over gelcoat/fiberglass. I live in florida and i have done 1 truckbed and 7 boats with this product. All of my customers have been extremely happy with the end results. Just make sure to pull tape when its still wet and give ample drying time. Its best to mix all parts in a paint bucket, clean one of the containers and fill that one to use to avoid color mismatching. Best of luck.

Have done a dozen fishing boat interiors with this product. It works great. Next is my pontoon floor.

You'll need to go to an automotive paint shop that's familiar with mixing tints for liners. Haven't used it on a boat, but I'm sure if you prepped the area well it would adhere and hold up well. I've used 20+ bottles of this on an Offroad trailer and it's holding up great.

Has anyone tried this to tint lip balm? Does it work? Thanks in advance! :)

You're can use a blow dryer to heat the tint as you put it on. And you'll need something to smooth it on there. I would recommend you have someone that's done it before do it. It's hard to do it nicely if you've never done it.

Window tinting is best applied on the inside of the windows. If applied to the outside, the weather would cause it to peel and come off. I applied it to the inside of the window and it works great!

Bring it to any paint store that carries Rust-Oleum, such as Home Depot. That's where I took it. You pick one of the the 'light' color, and they should be able to tint it for a very small fee, if not free. Good luck.

Hello we have factory tinted windows on our car , I would not know if after market tinting would effect the performance of this product.

Depending on the condition of the paint, you may need to use a light compound to remove any oxidation. I have used a compound called Menzerna, with a high speed buffer. If your paint looks good, you can proceed to waxing with the Collinite 476. Do a section at a time. The wax will give a deep gloss and does seem to last for a very long time. I used it on my boat that was used in saltwater, and it looked great and protected the surface, making it easy to clean after a day of fishing.

I did it dry, just used a heat gun to form it better. To be honest you're better off getting tint elsewhere..........this stuff is already peeling off of my wifes taillights.

John - This product would be perfect - have purchased 4 cans of this UVX-1 products - works fantastic - used on my 26 ft Rinker Captiva boat ( canvas 8 years old ) - deck umbrella ( 10 years old ) - grill cover and deck furniture covers - all canvas - beads up perfect - totally pleased - suggestion - directions say paint on product - DO NOT - tried first by brush - turned white and caked up - then got smart and purchased a good pump sprayer from Home Depot ( $ 5.00 ) and sprayed on - perfect and beads up better than brushing on. Get calm day and spray on. You will be dry and pleased with look of finished product. Good luck. Phil

trust me- you DO NOT need anything other than this product to protect and shine! Our 6 yrs old cars look brand new- we just sold our 4 yr old sailboat, and we put a coat of this on the boat top to bottom 4 times a yr and everyone still thought it was brand new. You don't need anything else. Best stuff, been using it for years on all of our "stuff" (cars, boats, and even our bikes)

I made a marine tex patch to repair a crack in the deck of my sailboat, then painted 2 coats of this paint over it. It stuck to the marine tex as well as it did to the other fiberglass surfaces I painted. No problem.

You can have the tint mixed in white. It needs to be done at a auto paint shop that understands how to do it takes a pint for one kit(4 bottles)

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.

I have sailboat with kind of brown color.At some point I used Poli Glow product which was crap. So I have to use Poli Glow remover to get a rid of it.Unfortunately during this process I damage the gelcoat. So my boat looks like yours. This and other products will bring the shine but it won't last long. Step number one would be removing the oxidation with different product. The UV radiation is brutal and the glossy look is fading away after few weeks.So this is my answer to your question. In long term I think the boat should be painted.

First this only works on plastic not glass. The next concern would be is the tint on the surface or is it through and through? If they are plastic and you won't rub off the tint off I think it would work well.

I wouldn't recommend it. It's made for plastic lenses and such. Try calling a tint shop and getting them to install lifetime tint on them. This looks horrible on glass and pretty much any clear surface where spray pattern imperfections can be easily seen. Works well on signal lights and brake lights though.

Ive never never it on a boat cover, but everything ive used it on (pack, tent) has withstood extensive use in the Texas sun, which is quite intense in the summers, has held up and after only 1 use, no fading at all. I would assume that it would work well, might take a liberal coat though, also you might want to think about getting a couple bottles depending on the size of your boat
