Hi, Ralph and All, I talked to a pilot somewhere, that said he tinted Lexan
with Rit fabric dye. I never tried it, if you try it, let us know if it
works. Lanny Fetterman FSII N598LF

That's the same way that they "tint" plastic lenses in regular perscription sunglasses ( I just tinted a pair of them last week ) for the glasses , the way I've know it to be done in the Optical labs is with Rit dye at 180 degrees.... basicly "under" a boil.... depending on how dark you want them,
The glasses that I tinted last week took aprox 1 hr to darken... I couldn't find a Dark Grey , so I bought a dark Navy Blue....The lens turned out to be more of a brown color.....
You'd probly be fine dying with Black.... Just don't know how you'd get a tub of water big enough to put the wind screen in...
