Full Version: Smart Car Anyone?
Hey Guys,
Any body out there tint a smart car lately? Just wondering how you found the back quarter windows to be since they're a type of plexi poly-carbonate something or other. Thanks!
I havn't done one , however my understanding is that they can't be tinted
Hmmmm, I might have to reconsider tinting this.
Thanks man
draw the pattern on the release liner side of the film and then cut it out on your peel board. shrink accordingly and install. as is no warrenty on the plastic windows, but they may be fine
Thanks for the help 1PEEC. I've done plexi before no problem, it's just these little buggers have a bevel around them, and the film is not sticking like other plexi I've done. AAHHH, Fridays are always interesting. Anyways, thanks again!
Just a recap in case anyone wants to know. In the end I blacked out the quarters with black vinyl, and it looked even better than factory. This is all that could be done for a clean look. Customer was very happy, and a frustrating job turned out awesome.
CONGRATS DUDE. thats the spirit.
When you say you applied vinyl, was it inside or outside ?

I'v yet to tint one...but I I have seen em...... cool little cars.... hate to crash in one.....
Damn i love those cars! As a 6'3 230 lbs man, I think I would break it. By the way, don't tint those windows, put vinyl on them. better for the long run.

whats the best way to heat shrink that small BG??
Wet or dry whatever you prefer its a cake window my 14 year old step son did it last time
We did one last week. The quarter windows were the least of my problems. Just try to get those door panels loose! Forget that!!!! Just tape the W/S and save yourself a ton of trouble. Even tho they are frameless roll-ups, I wasn't able to get the film below the W/S. Don't forget to Heat shrink before installing!
cool, im getting one in this wek and was looking for some tips
For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face:
