Do I need a tinted resin for different tints of a windshield?

Question:

Do I need a tinted resin for different tints of a windshield?

Answer:

No, there is no need to have a tinted resin. The tint in a windshield is very subtle, and a good clear resin will blend in as well as or better than a tinted resin. There are more than 25 variations of tinted glass used for windshields, and it would be nearly impossible to match each one. You will often see a dark shaded band at the top of the windshield. The color of the shade band actually comes from color that is added to the PVB inner layer. Windshield repair is a process that repairs the glass, not the PVB layer, so using a tinted resin will not be effective in the shade band either. So, why do other companies sell tinted resin? More money for them!
