Default Spray tint, good, bad ugly?

I have never had to tint a truck before but my F150 gets hotter then the hubs of hell sometimes and I wanted to tint my windows, Is spray tint any good? Or just good ole roll on tint? I have never done either so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I've never even heard of spray tint, everyone I know uses the roll-on so my guess is that the spray isn't that good.

You may have heard of VHT Niteshades which is used for tinting tail lights, but I doubt you could get an even enough coat on glass to not see waves and streaks.

Let me re-phrase, it does work, but...no, its not at all what you'd want on a everyday vehicle. Almost looks ok from the outside but inside its pretty rough. And to get a even coat to the eye from the outside, its almost blacked out inside to the point of no visibility
