Tints & Sax P Stickers

[D-a-M-i-A-n]

Decided to tint my windows yesterday

main reason for the tints was for my kids in the back

and finally put sax p stickers on after about a year of them sitting in a draw

side tints






Rear tint being shrunk






rear tint shrunk & trimmed



rear tint installed









im pretty happy with them

Looks well. My tints are an utter mess, creases and chips out of them I've tried my own before but I just cannot do it

cheers

this is only the second time i have done tints

trick is to take your time and use plenty of liquid

[Sinque]

I did take my time but the edges would just keep peeling up. I got told not to use too much liquid as the glue runs off and it will never stick :/ Did you use expensive film?

you do all the shrinking and trimming on the outside of the window and then install it on the inside of the window

when the windows have a curve to them (rear windscreen) you have to shrink the film with a heat gun to fit the curve otherwise you will get creases etc

Couldn't do this at all, done the two sides no bother, then my dad opened the window and peeled it off the next day >:/

That will be my problem then haha, no chance of doing it

its actually quite simple

as long as you keep the heatgun 6 - 10 inches away from the film and keep the gun moving so you dont keep it in the same place too long as you will damage or melt the film

just keep going over it with the heat and gently flattening it out with a rolled up cloth or a gloved hand

also search for dry shrink tint on youtube and watch a few videos first

thats all i done
