I need to make some choices and hoping for advice before I mess things up too badly.
I got the windows tinted a few years back, but they're still shiny on the outside. Is there any way to make the outside of the windows not shiny? As in make them have a matte finish too ~ but still be able to see out of them?
I've found very FEW pictures of flat/matte finish 3s, but on almost all of them, the shiny windows just ruin the idea for me. I've seen 1 in white, and 2 in black, but they're just like 1 angle, still don't know how it looks with the taillights... daytime/night time, etc.
So, anybody have links for flat/matte 3kgt or Stealth pics?
I'm feeling brave, and have painted a fender before to match (good enough for me, but took 3 weeks to get close enough) but the last question is just in case I screw up big time: If I hate how the car looks, no matter what sorts of paint I use, can the actual paint shop remove all the layers I put on no matter what?
Thanks ~ btw.. not doing this until the weather is better, but nice to plan something fun ahead
Extra info for bored 4AM readers:
Why I have nothing to lose so long as the pros can take off layers of whatever I might try:
The car looks great until you get up close to it and really look:
Current color: mostly original Galaxy White Pearl Tricoat, 1 panel repainted when prev. owner did something.
Clear coat: long gone.
Hood: bad joke close up. 1 small dent from a flying metal object. Hairline cracks in the paint & mini craters.
Spoiler: embarrassing
Roof: like the surface of the moon with 1 deep scratch from prev. owner
fenders: 1 repainted but ruined by car door dingers, 1 baby bubbles just starting
ass: great but little black dots being impossible
front bumper: not bad, had a bra on for years to hide the semi-missing clear coat of the hood
ALL around the car where the lame pin-striping used to be: dull as heck, loves to attract dirt, double waxing effort mandatory
