couldn't agree more - I bookmarked this site about a year and a half ago, and read up for a few hours before I posted this

I think I did over heat the rear sides

the doors came out pretty decent for the first try but I think I needed to do a better job cleaning the glass - there are the little tiny rash bubbles in some spots

U said you started in your garage with about 10 cars, what kind of supplier did you have for the tint?? Cause right now my supplier is Advanced Auto Parts :shock

I'm not sure where you live but I'm in MI and they service my area. I use Llumar film. If you're in this area, send me a PM and I'll send you the contact info of my sales rep etc... But yeah, I've done about 6 cars now and have a few scheduled for next week. I keep having to put them off due to other work obligations. I do tinting in my spare time for spare income while learning a ton here on TD. I went totaly out on a limb and bought 3 rolls fo film and some supplies and an instructional DVD. Spent a good $1200 on everything plus getting my garage set up to work out of. Theres still a ton more I want to do to the garage before I'm happy. Plus I've been looking into graphic plotters as well.

A handful of film suppliers have instructional material in VHS or CDrom format... call a supplier and ask. :spit

I bought one of those "Learn How to Tint and make a living off of it" eBooks off eBay and uploaded the information to my brain... isn't that what everybody does?

On a less sarcastic note, you'll need to spend a lot of time and effort from trial-and-error... I'm in the same boat as you are, but I get better every tinting attempt I make.

Last night I tried again - I bought another roll ,and used Bounce this time, but the right side is still givin me problems - It won't stay down - everytime I try to get it it just curls back up - I am going to use tape to hold it in place
