Hey,
So, roll ups no problems, the bg's i have no with relatively no trouble, just the usual teething probs, but i got my first clio2 coming in. Fbigeyes.gif

I know Naughty Dog has a tip with heightening anchour position but really, what shrink method should i use? uh.gif

I should say, being relatively new to this, i have wet shrunk everything and not ventured beyond this but i know this sucker is going to try me!! krazy.gif

But, i promise you, i will not give up!! grinning_and_saying_no.gif

There are many ways too nail this sucker , I'd try out the tip about the high anker to start with , If your not long in the bisuness its maybe safer if you dry shrink it ( powder or soap )

Err, got to hold my hands up, im just starting out so cost is an issue so i am using e.bay supplied film, without naming names, its the guy who has the red porsche on his ads on ebay.uk.
Not really too clued up on quality films and/or costs, but i started using Defender from local motor factors and now use this, i just noticed when holding it up to the light it seems to have a faint "rainbow" effect to it, only just visible.
I just know you are going to tell me nono.gif this is rubbish and will got purple etc, but hey, we all started somewhere , right, i hope someone will back me on that?
Anyone uk based want to give me some figures i should expect to pay for quality film here, say llumar or solagard etc.
Once i really got into the swing of things then obviously that will be my direction. PROMISE beer.gif beer.gif

Soap methord mate....keep your centre anchor point a bit higher than normal, give yourself plenty of excess at the top and take your time, dont worry, there not as bad as they look. beer.gif but to be honest and if your using that sh!t they sale on ebay your going to struggle anyway....! good luck

Defender film is shite and you will struggle your ass off with this stuff(cant even call it window film)
As for we all started somewhere thats right we did, but take my word for it this stuff is poop.gif and before you even start off you will have a reputation for using crap film

What the hell is a Clio2? dunno.gif Never heard of it.

I appreciate what you are saying about cheap film, i fully do, thumb.gif ,
diamond, can you perhaps give me some example prices of PROPER film over here in uk, i been looking on net and always seem to end up being directed to a company called CP Films, they look the daddy for film, i understand Llumar is the way to go?? dunno.gif but it seems from previous enquiries that its a regional dealer thing and there is already someone in my area that is "with them" mad3.gif
Advice and contacts?
Im miles from Glasgow so hope you dont mind with the help.
North East Lincolnshire, by the sea!! thumb.gif
And Hey, once again, i know where you are coming from with my use of film.
Many many thanks.

Its a strange Euro car that gets most tinter, its the top 6" which has a severe curve, you have to anchor high and take your time unless you know the lift and shrink method dunno.gif thumb.gif

Long Island N.Y, I am super impressed if you've seen and tinted one of these in one piece, there can't be many of these suckers your side of the pond. Respect thumb.gif thumb.gif






For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face:
now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
