Tinting the Temptation canopy

[AWorrest at aol.com]

I used Pactra Window Tint on the inside of a Venus 40 canopy.  Was not 
reallly satisfied with the result.  It is way too dark.  I thought I had 
shaken the can well but the first coat was not only splotchy but had specks 
of black pigment.  I tried to even it with a second coat.  From a foot away 
the splotches can't be seen but the canopy is as dark as the rear windows on 
some minivans.
