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…

Paint looks awesome!  Where’d you have it done?  CYCW?  
Full strip, rebalance everything, what type of paint?

It is not allowed to impair view out of windows. This tint doesn't. The shade is gray, it does look different though in different light.

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.
