It will stick fine until the sun hits it and then the gasses emitted from the plexi cause air bubbles in the film. Then the customer wants it warrantied and you go to strip it and scratch the crap out of the plexi removing the old film.

FESTIVA that is what it is god that was bugging me all day mad tinter finger fighter Posts: 61 (10/25/02 11:18:24 am) Re: Tinting rear window that is plexi glass............ if you think it is not glass i would not want to strip it either. if its acrylic,plexi,or lexan you would have to be careful cleaning the adhesive off and not use any abrasive that could distort or scratch it. tintman97 NEWBIE Posts: 40 (10/25/02 1:37:37 pm) Re: Tinting rear window that is plexi glass............ the funniest thing though i have three plexi windows in my garage door and i tinted them with solargard red and a layer of 6% and that was 2 years ago still looks killer NO ONE can see in but i can see out just fine mikewilliams4750 Posts: 3305 (10/25/02 1:54:21 pm) ezSupporter Re: Tinting rear window that is plexi glass............ i had limo on a shop door for years and it was ok until a football cracked it hahah. if the plexi window doesnt get out in the elements, tinting it will work fine. assneckavenger NEWBIE Posts: 8 (10/25/02 3:52:41 pm) Re: Tinting rear window that is plexi glass............ yea its plexi i asked him today but when he got it first done it took them 3 time to get it to stick and that was with 3m i will most likly be using johnson. the back is all scrached anyway from the window scraping in the winter.... Pr0tint finger fighter Posts: 59 (10/25/02 9:57:09 pm) Re: Tinting rear window that is plexi glass............ Ya if it doesn't get any heat then it should be fine. Plexi is a petroleum product and when it gets hot it emits gas causing bubbling. Rookie |
