tint machine
I have a 1955 chevy truck to tint that has a solid rear glass that has a
big curve inward on the ends, has anyone done one of these?
Please help!

They are a bit tricky..... you need to cut the film a bit short on the outside to compensate for the glass thickness when moving the pattern to the inside thumb.gif

Both are good answers. Can you get a glass company to pull it and re-install it for you?

call them and find out then include that in your price
Tintdesigns has done a few of them also and knows a few tricks beer.gif

Well I got $350 for it and the the truck is immaculate
however the rubber has that chrome stip in it and its a bit cracked
if you know what I mean, afraid it may take some paint w/it!
So is a wet shrink the best?

btw, who is tint designs? can you tell me where they are?
