for this, all you need to do is follow these steps.
1. buy (get out) flat black paint.
2.paint on INSIDE of the windows/headlights(dont use a thick coat for the headlights)
3. leave dry over night or for about 3-4 hours.
Caution. This will give you a pitchblack tint on windows.

I think he mistyped the title. Should be, "How to do the black trim windows."

This method would be the procedure to use if you are using Tamiya's "smoke" colour, which I hear is a major pain in the @$$.

I don't know why you'd want to tint model car windows when you spend so much time detailing the interior...

well maybe some people are like me and no matter how hard they try and how long it takes them, the interior still looks bad.

Indeed. The only car bodies that require window tinting are R/C bodies...

that works. i just never saw a threade on here that told people how to so i told them how i do it. you all can tell us how you tint if you do. and besides, even though you might put a lot of detail into your cars, there arent that many models that have all the windows. i dont have any models that have every window. so what im getting at is you will still see the interior. it will just look cooler on the outside.

I've used it many times and I've never had a problems with it, it's one of my favorite Tamiya paints.
