Default Painting with window tint spray

I have a Pactra smoke window tint spray that I want to use on the body and not on the window. I also want to spray the flourescent orange and white as the fire pattern. The problem is that I want the window tint to keep its transparency. How would I go about the sequence of spraying it? Thanks.

Have you ever used that pactra tint stuff? You may be disappointed and want to think twice about having so much coverage on a body with it.

Should you decide to still do this, mask the windows first - mask the body where the tint will go second. Leave the flames area exposed and paint them your light colors (fl.orange/white) and then back them with silver. This will prevent the dark tint color to show through the white. After it's cured peel out the body masking to spray the tint color. Once you're done and it's all dry peel out the window masks. That's roughly what I would do. Anytime you want to spray light colors first back with silver.

Whoa! That's a lot of work. I've already masked the flames. I think it'll look awful. Thanks for the know how. I'll just buy a dark color like midnight blue with orange flames.

good idea, the tint stuff hardly ever sprays nice, usually drips, runs and spatters too.
