Who tints windows?

[jmanpc 5,000+ posts]

I'm learning from my roomate how to do it... I just did my g/f's front windows in her integra by myself, and its not as hard as I thought it would be. I've done a few other cars with my roomate watching me and helping, too.

Anyone have tips? tricks? I want to own my own shop one day doing stereo/tint/alarms, so since i've already gotten alright at stereo and alarms, i just need to learn how to tint well //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Goodluck pursuing our shop dreams. You can definitely make a grip with window tinting once you learn the trade. Equipment and supplies are very cheap for start up. If you want to read up on tinting and find some tips along with tools, try

I just always buy the spray on tint in a can...theres no peeling it when the state boys pull you over...you just tell them it is factory and laugh at them when you drive off.....no tickets and all they have is a dumb look on their faces....

The good shops use a tint plot cutter that cuts the tint to the PERFECT size with no trimming //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

any film can be peeled off....It don't take but one $300 ticket and another 20 minutes with the scraper the trooper gives you to scratch it off your car before he lets you go...... to realize the best way to go.....If you paid some shop to put on the film.....you'll be thinking of that $200 you threw away all 20mins of scraping....
