BendSuby Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Has anyone ever done their own window tint to avoid paying the 2-300 hundred dollars at a tinting shop? How hard is the process? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortysayhi Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I tinted mine, it cost about $60. The window on the back (for sedan) is the biggest pain in the a**. You just have to make sure your windows are super clean first. And there's the tint spray adhesive and just take your time and don't rush. One package of widow tint covered all 3 doors of my sedan. Having a heat gun also really helps too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BendSuby Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 Would a blow dryer work? And did you do them without and wrinkles or bubbles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortysayhi Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 It would work, for my car (first time i did it) i didn't use a heat gun or blow dryer, it went on that easy. The kit i bought at O'rileys auto parts had the adhesive solution in a squirter bottle, a plastic card thing to flatten it and get bubbles out, but i can take pics the one bad part that i did was i didn't have enough tint so my front windows have sections where theres like triangle pieces of tint (but it still looks good!)

BendSuby Posted March 12, 2012 Author Share Posted March 12, 2012 Looks good! Have you heard anything good or bad about the tint from wal-mart? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortysayhi Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) Thanks, and no i haven't... never even heard they had some If you go to like auto zone and see the brand/ manufacturer and compare it to walmart they might be the same but cheeper. My tint i think was 12-16 and I'm using 20-25% tint on mine, its dark enough to not have to use the mirror night/ day switch, and you can see some what into the car from out side, i just want darker. looked on my computer and found this.

Moosen Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I would love to do this to my gl wagon eventually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BendSuby Posted March 12, 2012 Author Share Posted March 12, 2012 Been watching alot of youtube videos on it. Seems like a very simple process anyone can do at home. Although they are probably professionals as well. Looks very nice on your sedan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
