Next week I'll be doing my friend's tint for him. He has an 04 Lancer. He doesn't have any tints on right now (thank God). Here is how I plan to do things. He wants every window tinted except the winshield. Im going to be using Baby Shampoo most likely, if you guys don't think it's a good choice, give me another suggestion. Tools I'll be using: Heat gun Yellow turbo squeege (to get the water out when the film has been applied) Blades (wet window and scrape it down to ensure there's nothing that will come up later on the film) 3M Gold bondo car/ sleeve(to do the windows outside of the car and to use with the heat gun to get the shape of the window) Blue Max (get wat…

I may only be a once in a while tinter, but typically my roll ups turnout fantastic. I got myself a 97 eclipse spyder and even after trying a second time my front windows peel at the top little, badly on the front edge, and a little on the bottom back corner. Am I just cutting too big? Any help would be appreciated.

Hello. Let me first introduce myself. My name is Tim and I'm trying to learn the trade here. I've been reading on here for a couple months but this is my first time post. I'm trying to learn on my very own car for hopes to possibly turn this into a side business. I have a '99 Mitsubishi Eclipse. Yes, it has the nice compound curve hatchback. I have only the back glass to do. The other windows turned out beautiful thanks to this forum. I'm using 20" wide professional grade film so I'm gonna do it in 2 pieces. Last night was playing with some old cheap over the counter stuff so I didn't have to waste my good film. I was doing very good and was actually learning ho…

I wanna say theres alot of useful info on this board. I havent really posted much cause ive been reading throughout the board. Ive learned alot from reading the problem now is doing it in person. Im a newbie but I love tinting, Ive done only front windows of some cars. They come out ok and all, still need to learn more though. Well this is it, I was doing my sisters 03 Eclipse yesterday.

There was a little contanination here and there(little dots) but nothing like "awwwwww". The little sides were easy, came out good. A…

mitsu Evolution 8
by Guest Zrok- 6 replies
- 4.4k views
this is just like tha lancer but with a kicker...it has a wiper on the rear window next to the brake light, easy to take off the glass, tint as usual, the part that goes outside as a bezel for the wiper is actually larger than the inside trim, so there's plenty of room to keep from havina light gap at the bottom. other than that, the dude said he ran it last night and had a ET of 13.9 he was mad 'cuz the factory said 13.4, but he said it was hot, and he probably wasn't getting as much boost easy ass car though.

Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield
Yeah that’s a very fair point to a degree I’m probably overthinking it. I don’t see really significant glare reduction until you get into much darker tint. Like you I think visibility for me is more important living in the country. I’ll probably see what the specs list the differences between 70% and 80% and then double check with the tinter as to what they recommend. Likely will end up with 70% with a strip along the top. Air80 seems to be much more popular, not sure if it’s due to performance or the difference in cost being so much more for the stratos. thank you -

Process
Hey guys - so I work for a vinyl graphics company that is adding window tinting to their repertoire and I had a question about your guys' ideal process. I have my plotter set up and my window tinting software ready to go, but I am completely ignorant about the way that tint installers prefer that things be cut. Currently, I will plot/weed the tint and cut the backing away as much as I dare before handing it over to the installer. I was thinking that the installer would prefer the tint to be cut to shape which I believe I can achieve with the perf cut on my plotter. Is that the typical process or should I not be worried so much about it being cut to exact shape? -

Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield
Im in TX, plenty of of what you mentioned. While I do sit higher in an SUV, glare reduction is not improved much at all with what I have. My 80% is almost clear, not dark at all. With all tint, it adds a bit of reflectivity from the outside, which I notice makes it slightly harder to see from the outside looking in, in the form of a glare not darkness. At the end of the day, it's not permanent, it's only money! -

Boat window tinting tips
The answer is to not heat that area too much so that you leave some slack in the film for when you get it to the inside. Also cut your pattern a little large so that you can trim a thread off the edges after shrinking to not have a furled edge. After you do a few of those you'll figure out how much to leave/trim to not have any light gaps. Also I'll leave a hardcard wrapped in a microfiber in the bottom overnight to collect water and keep pressure on the film while it dries. Sometimes you can take the top rail off the glass if the jackwagon boat builder didn't put too much pressure on the glass package when it was installed. If you pull the rail off of a tight package it's a pita to get back on, looking like it could crack the whole time. Congrats on getting it done. I've seen plenty that couldn't, which is why I price them like I do.- 1

Boat window tinting tips
Thx everyone for the tips the install went fine, however i did run into a new problem on the main curve of the glass from thr outside the tint would lay flat on the big curve but when applying it seemed like there was too much tension and it would not stay down i ended up heating it up and flattening down but some of that area got overheated and warped a little, if you know how to tackle this problem please help me thank you!- 2
