I'm not sure that anyone does... You could spray your own though, if you spray the inside it will last longer

A while back someone did exactly what Jules suggested, only in black: they sprayed the inside of the windshield. The report was that looking through the polycarb give the illusion that you've got a dozen coats of clearcoat . . .

This was a white XB12STT fork guard, I used the RIT dye and changed it to blue.



That said I don't know how well it will work on a windscreen, but get one used cheap and give it a shot : )

If it holds up to one month of Froggy time it is like 7 years of doggy time which is like 7 years of human time so about 48 1/2 years worth for every month he has it

The color itself held up fine. I ended up vinyl wrapping it as I was looking to go a different route later. Here it is today:



(I think the one in that pic was the side I didn't dye, I need to go and check)

Its just painted no decals just paint. everything is cleared also so the windscreen can be buffed just like any painted surface. I have done a couple for a few buddys if anyone is interested let me knw. The ones I did I did for 100$ or 70 if you provide your screen.
