Just breath smoke into it until it reaches your desired tint

 

[NEEDMOSNOW]

picks or it didnt happen

 

[Evilchris]

Yes it actually

 

[Evilchris]

Yes it is, look up how to tint plastics with RIT die. I've seen it done with full face visors for longboarding. Check out http://www.northwestlongboarding.com/cgi-bin/nwlb/forum/display.html?mv_arg=TOP111337

However, most goggle lenses are a two piece lens with foam layer between the lenses. I feel like this could affect the dying process.

When you tin a cars window, your only applying the tint film to one side right? So I'd assume if you only tinted one side of the goggle, it would still work.

If you thinking that really hot water and and thin plastic and foam is a bad idea, yeah it is. I wouldnt recomend dying any goggles that use a two piece lens. Likley to get damaged by the hot water.

 

[Evilchris]

Yeah 2 piece lenses along with the anti fog will def be problems

Your logic is slightly flawed. A window tint is a single pane and uses a film not a water based dye.

I really don't think this will work at all. Either it will deform the lens, or the dye will not go on evenly due to some of it seeping through the foam between the lenses.
