ArtVandelay Posted January 27, 2022 Report Posted January 27, 2022 You can tint the rear windows, not the pilots side or front windows. 1
carusoam Posted January 28, 2022 Report Posted January 28, 2022 Welcome aboard Manpreet! A good MSer recently got their Ovation painted in Canada…. They have a nice thread written about it… See if you can use the search to find it… Canada is quite large, I don’t recall exactly where that was done… California is not that far away when using a Mooney… search for ArtCraft too… -a- 1

There's a link in my signature, if you are looking on a phone though you probably can't see it so here it is as well. Very easy and inexpensive. Make sure you only use the static cling tint. https://intothesky.com/window-tinting/ 1

ArtVandelay Posted July 17, 2022 Report Posted July 17, 2022 I went with extra dark tint (gray) on the rear windows:
Danb Posted July 17, 2022 Report Posted July 17, 2022 Is it prohibited to tint the front windows? I’d like to do mine but am unsure of what’s allowed
ArtVandelay Posted July 17, 2022 Report Posted July 17, 2022 Is it prohibited to tint the front windows? I’d like to do mine but am unsure of what’s allowed I think so, anything that affects your (night) vision can’t be legal.

This tint doesn't. The shade is gray, it does look different though in different light.

Yes, Upper Valley at CYCW. Here's the project description. They are now doing interior upgrades - will share photos when they are done. https://mooneyspace.com/topic/33673-ovation-new-paint-in-progress/#comment-572851 1
Schllc Posted July 17, 2022 Report Posted July 17, 2022 I don’t believe it’s prohibited because they sell front windows and even windshields that are tinted, but I do believe applying auto tint to plexiglass can cause thermal expansion issues. I’ve always used the Gila static cling tint. Works really well. input it on the back windows and leave it there, then I cut four or five 12x12 pieces and move them around as needed. Sometimes I put them three or four thick to bock certain points. works very well, just have to put them on before high altitude because they don’t stick so well when cold.
