Been learning on express window films standard Charcoal black , It seems to have a blueish hue looking out and then when the sun hits it coming through the windshield it looks brown

Anyone know another film from howard that will give me a better look more of a black , yet also having good clarity

call howard and explain what your looking for he will put you in the right direction

true smoke has the bluish hue from the inside but it is still a good film and the price is great!

classic charcoal (the expensive one from express) is really good and is one of the best looking films

what would you compare it to
wetintcars.com
Let me say that I spent about 40 min on the phone with Howard. I explained exactly what I was after and why. THIS GUY GETS IT LIKE NO OTHER! He understands better than any big time manufacture rep. He has done his homework too. Call him. He will take the time to give you exactly what you are after. You may be surprised by the cost too. He sent me a roll of true black 35 and one in 20. WOW! Did I like this stuff! My only regret is that I didn't come across them sooner or take the time to call them. Only 2 guys selling film on here I would give a thumbs up to - Mark from Valutint.com and Howard from Express Films. Good people! thumb.gif biggthumpup.gif bananarock.gif

What film would you compare Express films to? Is it compareable to Johnsons or Llumar as far as working with it? dunno.gif

I use express standard film. And I'm very happy with it. Howard and his crew are the best. thumb.gif

It depends on the film line. He has like 10 different manufactures but I like the True Black, it kinda shrinks and goes on like Global QDP although I know for a fact it is not Global. Their "Classic" line is so much like Global (from what I have heard) it may as well BE Global.

Goes on like Johnson and Llumar both.

So how is the true black color and how is it different in color from the classic charcoal. more bluish, greenish, gray or what??
how well does it match factory privacy glass?

pretty much any NR smoke film will match factory glass(QDP, SG's NR Smoke or Supr. 28, VT 20, etc)

Just orderd a load and yes, Howard is top notch! NR Black is an awesome color and shrinks like no other. These guys are on top of the bus. and enjoy what they do. Sent me a worthy sample roll "more than just a back glass worth". As long as they keep all this up I'm with them. Thanks to Howard and all of you guys on here that recommended him.

NR TRUE BLACK very similar to NR TRUE SMOKE, kinda hazy, hard to make film settle down (fingers keep popping up) very rubbery. Great color, nice thick film. time will tell how long this film will last. icon_mrgreen.gif

I've just started using the new True black series film and i love it, the color matches so much better than the smoke films. I think i will be using true black for many years to come
