Focus_IRE Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Hi all, Has anyone attempted to tint their own windows? If so have you used pre cut tint or did you buy the rolls to give it a proper tint? How hard or easy a job is it and what has the final outcome been? Seriously thinking of doing mine and was just wondering which is the best for tinting as i have found this http://fkperformance.ie/shop/index.php?route=product/product&path=71&product_id=205 Help would be greatly appreciated lads.

salsheikh Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 all i will say is read the instructions before you start! i had to tint a door at work and bodged the top half as i didnt read the instructions and then read them and did the bottom half and it was 100% better. you may need help so get your mates to help you out.

Stoney871 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 It's tricky to do home tints without bubbles and streaks. Your windows need to be spotless and use plenty of lubrication to get the tint totally smooth or you'll rip it the first time you open a window. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostman83 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Honestly don't bother. Get it done properly. That's my advice. I've tried back in the day. Cutting it out. Spreading the bubbles. It's like trying to eat chocolate cake in a sauna. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Focus_IRE Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 maybe this would help? Thanks mate was looking at nearly every video on Youtube yesterday on tinting, it doesnt look too hard simillar to carbon wrapping. all i will say is read the instructions before you start! i had to tint a door at work and bodged the top half as i didnt read the instructions and then read them and did the bottom half and it was 100% better. you may need help so get your mates to help you out. Thanks Sal, Yeah will def have to read them it doesnt look to be too bad. How did the tints turn out after a few weeks? It's tricky to do home tints without bubbles and streaks. Your windows need to be spotless and use plenty of lubrication to get the tint totally smooth or you'll rip it the first time you open a window. Thanks Clive as I say practise makes perfect and it wouldnt be a bad businees to get into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
