civichatch Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 I would go to a tint shop and ask if you could watch as he tints vehicles. Ive heard there are tricks to tinting, but overall it isnt SUPER hard.

DVBin916 Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 There is many tricks! but I learned At a shop my friend owned and just kicked there for 2 days straight and watched him tint about 3 cars by the 4th I was helpin by the 5th I was doing a car on my own. Yuo have to be a perfectionist and you have to have madd patience. Rember 1 thing if you screw up the film you might as well start over with a new pice. Start out with small flat windows. When you get the hang move to something bigger then on to curved windows. Quote - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpine Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 whats better, putting the tint on the inside or outside of the window? And how come some black tint looks blueish/purpleish?

Saltine Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 anyone who tints the outside of the window is a moron straight up. as for bluish or purple tint its dyed cheap stuff, metalized tint last 3 times as long as the inked tint and in todays technical world you dont have to be a perfectionist anymore. i know the audio shop by my house has a machine youselect the vehicle and it cuts the tint out perfect you just have to apply i think theres a site tintdude.com that has tons of tips and tricks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewy Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 if you want to learn start off at tintdude.com ... save your money, and take the class in oregon... i have yet to hear of a single person who took that class that didn't leave capable of tinting anything... some sloppier than others... but they did get the job done. :-) As to the post earlier and reply that followed.... Tint is applied on the inside, yes. But its also SHAPED on the outside... check out tintdudes.com and give it a shot :-) -chewy www.gatelyaudio.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
