Doing the rear 3 will look more like OE tints from factory but in the event of an accident im sure you could have the film removed. but i dont think insurers would bother to much about tints they would just ask you to pay for the tints to be covered if they even noticed :smiley:

Scotland is a bit far away otherwise I would come and see you about painting mine? Do you need to use high temp paint?
Was thinking of using vinyl but not sure about the success in the engine bay?

Its not really painting it thats hard its the prep work because its an engine cover the amount of oil and grease that was on it didnt make it an easy job but hey its done now :signLOL:
No i didnt use high temp paint tbh although the cover gets pretty hot its not warm enough to peel it off, as long as the prep work is good then you shouldnt have any problems using a decent paint system. Not sure how vinyl would stand up the glue may soften with the heat and start to peel but not 100% :happy2:
