Done up the window trimmings, and there is BLEEDING!!
This has never happened before and I don't know what went wrong.
Fortunately there wasn't alot, so i washed them off in warm soap water..
Results:

Always been wanting to try this. Due to the bleeding, all the more reasons for me to do it..
Tinting of windows:

It might not be obvious in the photos, but the unevenness of the clear black is pretty bad. Although I've tested it on a piece of scrap clear plastic, the results defer quite abit. Some parts appear to be flat instead of gloss..
