Bronze Tint?

Hello i'm a first time poster! But just needed some opinions on bronze tint. I have a royal gray metallic mini cooper and if you guys don't know it kind of has a brown shade in the sunlight and can sometimes turn green or just plain gray. Just wondering if you guys think it would look nice...

Thanks!

I think it would be cool.

I've been thinking about doing a different colored tint on my car. Maybe something VIP styled:





Bronze might look good on my car tho.....

Did you guys did yet? I thinking I want to move away from the "black" tints also. My MCS is yellow so a golden tint might be cool.

You forgot to photoshop your license like you did in the others. Is you front bumper a different color or is that the lighting? I wished my car would change color in different lighting. It is just blue or more blue. I want tint too!!!

Those pictures look HOT! I think the color difference is from the processing after the pictures taken or a reflection of something with a different color in the room.

Your friend who shot the car can most likely photoshop bronze tint on the windows for you. That 4th pic definitely had some post-processing done, so you should call in a favor.

The fourth picture actually had the least. That was actually how the car looked on the camera and in person. We used a flash light to brighten the car up, but that's what I meant by when the car changed colors depending on the lighting. I'm getting it done tomorrow so pictures will be up!



*bumber is darker because of lighting*

OMG I just got the car back and it's ****en' nice! I'm super excited and will post pictures this weekend. I want the car tint to dry so I can wash the car and shoot. The bronze came out really nice because it's very subtle and matches the car very well!

It's my vote that you can wash the car before the tint is fully set, seeing as how it's on the inside anyway.

Sorry for the super lag! But hopefully you can see the difference between black and bronze tint. There will be more once my friend edits them. =X

Don't bother with the brown shade. You cannot tell from the outside. The inside is the only place it is visible and brown doesn't go with gray/anthracite interior. These pics show my Royal Grey '06 with the black in the back and the brown in the front.

Yeah from your pics, it doesn't seem noticeable. From IKevinx27I pictures, i do see a hint of the brown, but it might be reflection from the sun. We need different angles and closer pictures I guess.
