Title: Tinted Plexiglass?
Post by: Rando on June 24, 2011, 06:59:52 pm

Heading to Home Depot shortly to look at Dishwashers and a stove.  Want to grab some plexiglas and window tinting for the face of my cab.  What specs/thickness/tint colors should I look for?

Hoping the tint will hide all but the picture in the cab if I seal it well enough.  Thoughts, ideas, comments?

Thank you!

get pre-tinted plexi if you can. you don't want to end up with little bubbles all through it.
I got mine at TAP plastics online, cut to order, but it was a tad dark for me. they had other colors i didn't investigate.

Get the solar gray that is around 20 % light transmission. That is what I have in my build, you can see what it looks like in my sig. Applying the tint is a pain though

Rando-

The HD by me has pre-tinted acrylic. You might want to check it out.
