[quote user="Phoebe Vet"] Samantha:Perhaps your confusion is because you keep talking about screen painting, which does, in fact, block light through the window.A wrap is an adhesive film.  The area over the windows has holes in it.  Such things have been used on custom vans and some station wagons for many years.  You can buy small ones in any auto supply store.  IT IS NOT PAINT. They don't reduce visibility any more than a window screen does on your home windows.  I bet the windows on those vehicles are already tinted.  The windshield and windows opposite the operator are also tinted, but not as dark.There have been valid reasons why some systems object to puting advertising on the outside of their vehicles, but your visibility complaint is easily addressed.  Just don't cover the windows.[/quote]The buses in Dallas and Austin are screen painted.  It is not the light screen painting that was popular on pick-up trucks in Texas.  Mercifully, most of Texas good old boys stopped painting the rear window of their pick-ups years ago.  And a few good old gals too.The windows are lightly tinted, but it is the paint on them that greatly reduces the visility from inside the bus.  If you don't believe me, take a trip to Dallas or Austin, especially on a low light day, and give it a go.  Make sure to wait for one of the buses that has been painted from head to toe and front to back with an advertisement.  Again, if the view from the inside of the bus is not inhibited by screen painting over the windows, how come they don't paint over the driver's side window, windshield, and front passenger door windows.  After all, think what an impact an ad might have on motorists coming toward the bus, hopefully in the other lane.
