Window Tints

[barrett]

Has anyone tried putting window tint film on there car themselves yet? Is it hard etc... usual stuff...

its more of a pain in the arse mate, we done a friends car and its not difficult just time consuming and a pain.

We found it best to take the windows out completely and do it and teh results were pretty good we had no airbubbles but a single dog hair smileys/smiley17.gif had made its way behind one of the rear windows no biggie though.

Its a case of take window out clean it well then place it on a dust free surface in the least dusty place you can find.
Take your film and check which side up it should be, cut it to size, spray the window liberally with your mixture of soapy water and seperate your film and while seperating spray it with your mixture, lay it sticky side down on the window and manouver (sp) it into place then using a squeedgy (sp) or credit card with some kitchen roll around it squeeze all the mixture out starting from the middle out, once you have the most of it out you will notice some lurking around the edges, using a combo of a hair dryer and kitchen roll dry it out as best you can.
You may notice a slight mist this will dry out given time and remember not to wind down the windows or anything

yeah it time consuming getting out every crease and air bubble out of it but if you've got patience and do what scott says, it should turn out pretty damn good.I did it on my car it looks really good and cost me around £70.

how much is the halfords window tint film scotty boy? How many rolls would you need for a saxo?

[Scott]

we done it with two rolls, one of the rolls was very long and covered both back windows and the rear window and the other roll done the fron windows with some left to spare.

Cant remember prices but around twenty odd quid a roll or something smileys/smiley5.gif
