I have 4 intact side windows (driver, passenger) and one rear window that I removed from a wrecked 733i BMW before junking the body :spank , and I want to use these to develop my tinting skills.

I plan on building some kind of a stand so I can stand the wondows up, buy as much tinting film as I can afford, and, as I've read in this forum, practice, practice, practice.

I know this there's nothing like applying tint film in an actual car, but, at the least, I hope to develop my skills in laying the film down on the vertical glass without creasing the film, learn how to use the heat gun, getting bubbles out, using the tinting tools, etc.

Can someone guide me on the best way to approach this. :finger: Which film should I buy to practice with? What are some of the most important skills to develop? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Dave

      I never see Nissan Rouges anyone. Because those cheap F’ers bought Tesla and cant afford low end film. Just a bunch of wannabes is this world today!

      Lucid Air- tinting issues

      We finished the car and the rear doors are really the only issue. The panel needs to be removed, then the power screen has to be removed, then you need plug the screen back in and leave the panel off. The window can be nudged up and down from the driver door. This is how we did it, if anyone has a better way, please share.

      Lucid Air- tinting issues

      I'm half way through tinting a Lucid Air and just thought I would give you all a heads up. The rear doors on this model have screens which are in the way. Even if you tint with panels on, it will be a problem. There's a wide rubber molding that is also in the way. Add in $$ for time and effort.
