tejcurrent Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 Thanks guys, all your feedback is GREATLY appreciated, Im gonna give the walmart tint another shot I think, because its cheap, and I doubt i'll own this vehicle for more than another year (2 at the most) I'm really glad that you guys told me the little bubbles will dissapear because I could see myself doing it again and getting pissed at the little bubbles and ripping it back off LOL I'll post pics of the side windows when I do them this weekend, I'm gonna go 20% because I don't want the fuzz riding my ass about it. My parents are getting me 5% for the rear window for christmas so I'll post those pics up after xmas. ^Yeah, the windows will resemble the texture of a golf ball for a little while, could be as little as a day, or up to several depending on the weather and light/heat your tint is exposed to. It really might be worth going to a shop. I think 130 did my entire tahoe with 5% tejcurrent XS Power T3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShawnAndrewMAC Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 Most likely the weather you had made the tint more crispy, and made the adhesion take more time to cure, how cold was it when you were tinting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassJunkie Posted December 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 Ok first off... NOTE TO SELF, TINTING WINDOWS SUCKS also NOTE TO SELF, I SUCK AT TINTING WINDOWS Ok, I think it turned out nice for my first real attempt at tinting windows. Before window tint: After My first window has a nasty flaw but you gotta look to see it, cant see it in the pics it cut it and it ended up kinda short but it hid itself on the black edging, I'll be redoing this window sometime soon. The second window turned out pretty nice imo 1986 C20 Suburban 9 American Bass XFL 15's B2 M1MKII 14v XS Power Batteries Maxwell Caps Acoustical energy is free.
