If your worried about huper pricing forumla one is not for you either.

As far as what film to use on your car. Well that is your decision to make not our's. Your best bet is to drive around looking at different mustangs, and get an idea of what you like

although that seems like a great idea, I work and dont have the time to sightseeing other stangs...furthermore, even if I saw one that I liked I wouldn't know what tint it's using just by looking at it....and I dont think pulling over the car and asking the driver what kinda tint he has is a good idea :gasp

Good point... OT had the answer, too.

Like many others on this site... he shys away from stating brand names... each has their preference and it would only lead to a pizzin match that would leave you dazed and confused.

Tint is not an item one needs shop for on the internet... :lol Find a shop open when you are not working and start from there.

Your right that you wont know what film it is on the vehicle you see.

But it will give you a better idea of how dark your looking for. Most tint shops carry pretty much the same levels of film darkness 35%, 20% and 5% are your most common choices.

So when looking at film not just on satngs but all vehicles. Make your choice light medium or dark.

Like metint said internet shopping for film will not realy work. You need to see it first hand to get an idea of what you want.

I understand you work but on your way home from work, to work ,or going shopping look at the other cars on the road.

oldtinter: please share as to what you think stands out so I can get it :thumb

[*]355394

I already tried that, apparently he's not going to.

[*]355399

The point was..."Buy a metalized film and you'll be fine" type blanket statement is misleading, or simply false. There's some marginal hybrids out there, and some excellent non-metal films. For theegod....plenty shops out there have web sites loaded with pics, that would be a good place to start. If you're quoted a low price...run...run away...:DD

Really, what other film man. offers "No Fault". What other film man. makes an AUTOMOTIVE Ceramic film, that will shrink. VKOOL and Huper are designed as flatglass films. You have to have a great service record with utmost quality to even be considered as a FORMULA ONE Candidate.

ask the shop if they use, "metalized" tint.? If you plan on keeping this car longer than 2 years Id deffinatly reccomend you go with that type of film.

[*]354774

:DD Some non-metal films will outlast the hybrids. :DD

[*]355131

Like what? (not saying your wrong, just curios)

[*]355153

Your just going to have to take my word for it...or go through the years of trying all the films and seeing what works, what doesn't. I just think there's a huge misconception of film brands....brand means squat, because they all make marginal products somewhere

in their lineup. It's a particular line or 2 from some manufacturers that stand out IMO. A metal layer in a film doesn't make it the Holy Grail. :beer

[*]355318

MADICO's TG dyed series and Onyx (hybrid) hold up well, although they do experience some fade to the color, but don't most?

Sungard offers a no-fault warranty. :beer:DD Plenty people have no problem shrinking Huper, if "ceramic" is your cup of tea. Any decent film in a good installers hands will have a good result regardless of brand. And I think more weight should be given to the actual installer than brand as far as the consumer is concerned. But what that is is simply my opinion, nothing more.

Good to know. I agree You definately want to go with the shop and or installers you are comfortable with. Huper does shrink I agree, but if you get a chance to work with the F1 Pinnacle you will not beleive it. It shrink like a standard film, adding no extra time to your installation, doubling your profit. Thanks again for the info on the sungard "no-fault"

      Residential Window Tint - Suntek SYDS vs. Solar Gard Slate vs. Madico Optivision

      Did you get this taken care of? What were the results and are you pleased?

      Residential Film without blue hue?

      Take a look at 3M's Nightvision or LLumar's Dual Reflective series, they both have a warm tone to them.

      Steer clear of Black Armour, Suntek, ASWF. The others are good choices if you are in Australia. Check out the reviews of the installer too. It’s not just the materials that have to be proper. Never go for the cheapest!!!

      Residential Film without blue hue?

      Hey guys I am in the process of having window film installed in my home but have a question about which brand I should go with. Hoping yall can help me out. I have a room that faces a busy street and as a result my blinds pretty much always stay closed. I love having natural daylight but not so much people being able to see what i'm doing in my room/all my expensive equipment. I used to work in the window film industry as a helper/installer/salesman when I was in highschool and we did a lot residential/commercial work. The specific brand of film we used always left a certain blue and cool appearance. Is there any brand of residential film that does not have this effect? I mainly just cannot stand having blue light amplified and am looking for a film that has a neutral shade to it or even a warm/yellow hue. I have single pane windows and I do not necessarily care about heat rejection but if I have to pay more for a ceramic film rather than a dual reflective or a standard film I am willing to if that helps solve the issue. Again, any help is really appreciated with this there are so many new window film brands out there and it really is cool to see how far the industry has come.

      Automotive Tint Comparison

      LLumar, 3M and Solargard have in the industry as far back as the genesis of window film mid-1960's). Solargard is the younger of the three and all others came to play in the last 20 or so years. I've had all three on my vehicles over the years and my current is 3M Crystalline on my Jeep since 2015. It still has stable color, scratch coat is holding strong and impeccable adhesive clarity. Never been garaged. My choice toady would be 3M or LLumar.

      Hook up with Glassy Business and get all the ins and outs of pro vs DIY with window film. That company goes back way before my retirement in 2015. I want to believe they are/were a Vista Film dealer and I cannot remember the owner's name. Peace out.

      Once more thank you, you are the best I been looking at the specs for the products you mention and info into tinting a window. I recently did wrap my wife's car and it turn out really nice, for what I have been seeing tinting a window is similar and I am tempted to do it myself. With that said I can't find any place to buy the products you mention, I found quite a few films in Amazon but they seem sketchy. There is other web sites selling films but the ones you mention I can’t locate, anyhow is there any place where I can buy this products?
