Dart flyscreen question

Does anyone know if a dark smoked version is available anywhere? Is it possible to smoke a clear one?

Ya gotta use a real low heat or they turn out too tough to eat.

Road Dog has his painted, D9 was the man who organised.
I recently was told that tinting is not possible. D9 advised that spray paint is not a good option.
The best idea is to go to a professional auto paint group and get a quote.

You can even use window tint, but put it on the backside of the fly screen, to help and keep it from getting chewed up by rocks bugs and other junk.

Thanks guys. Road Dog, your setup is exactly what I was envisioning. Looks great. I am surprised Dart doesn't offer variations. I am new to the Bonneville game. I traded my Sprint ST on a Bonnie Black 2 weeks ago. The Sprint was sweet, but my fun quotient is much higher now.

I sent a pic of mine to Brent at newbonneville. He wants to forward it to Dart to encourage them to start manufacturing a blacked-out version of their flyscreen for Bonnevilles. I gave him my permission and am now waiting to see what happens. We both think it would be a big seller too.
