white4d96 Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 (edited) Has anyone here ever bought the cheap $10 autozone tint just to practice tinting? I wanted to just get a feel for it before risking damaging $150 worth of film, but I don't know if the materials are worked in the same way or anything like that. What do you guys suggest? If it works out well, this tint may stay for a little bit until it starts to purple and/or I get money to get real film. So of the 'cheap shit' does anyone have a recommendation for more longevity? Like I said, it won't be on more than a couple years probably. DISCLAIMER EDIT: all prices are dramatizations; I would likely use one of the "better" grades of tint available at a big-box retailer (I know, like saying a better grade of dog s**t) Edited October 16, 2009 by ktownsdriftking Quote Too many projects, too little time...

Doylerules826 Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 (edited) dont waste your time or money, you can tint on ebay pretty cheap for LARGE quantities, you will only get about two windows out of those auto zone rolls, I have use some of the cheaper ebay tint with no problems yet Edited November 9, 2009 by Doylerules826 Quote 2000 chevy blazer Avic n1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbdblue Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 just for practice? go for it man. theres no harm done if your doin it for practice. the cheap stuff is applied very similar to the pro stuff anyway. just a difference in quality of materials really. Id say the most challenging is the back window. Ive never attempted this myself.
