Well I thought I would share my latest custom tint job. I apainted this truck about a month ago. I wanted to tie the graphics in with the tint and finished it up the other day. Turned out pretty good and my buddy was extremely happy. Hope you all like. :hump

Thanks. I apply legal first like tinting it normally and then with 20%, I cut to the shape of the window, draw my design and free hand cut and apply over the 35%. With a lot of experience, tint on tint sticks better then on glass just as long as there are no sharp points. All my custom tints are still perfect and they go back as far as 8 years.

Dude that is insane, did you cut and apply the stars first?

Wasn't there dust trouble because it seems dust wants to stay on the edges of the tint that was cut out.

Oh and it there a air bubble line around the stars??

Come on, spill the beans, lets here it!!! LOL

:lol6 I used to do free hand but the possibilities of using a plotter out weighed my doubts for getting one. Cut and applied with carriage tape eliminates most of the contamination problems. Air around the edges is apparent but dosen't effect the overall appearance. Heres a more intricate one.

Feckin Hell Billy!!!!!

That renault is the most extreme tint job I've ever seen.

Amazing stuff mate - you keep raising the bar for the rest of us.....

Is that 50% or 70 on the fronts? :dunno:thumb:blah

Super cool mate :bat

I'd forgotten how excited I got about this type of thing when you showed it to us on the first visit.

I can think of lots of applications in the sign biz ( rear windows on vans etc)

Potzy told me he saw it (that starry renault Billy posted) on the road the other week on his way back from a track day but couldn't get his camera out quick enough :thumb

Post some more of this stuff Billy, in it's own topic as I was looking for that Renault pic after potzy told me about it, but only just came across it.

Cheers

Joe

      Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield

      Since there is no limit of darkness on the top strip, I have wanted to tint it. But I would go very dark, to help with sun glare in the evening.

      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.

      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!
