First Car You Tinted???


Recommended Posts

Guest MidcoastMW

93 Ford SPAM Wagon.

Very hack.

3-piece back window, seams with 1/4" of uneven-cut overlap.

Side windows were stuck, then trimmed on insode of glass for the getto-gap look.

No heat gun. I had no idea how to tint, but just like everybody else out there I figured it would be easy... :lol2 :lol2 :lol2

My fist was a 85 cavalier hatchback. 2nd 89 cavalier 4 piece back window. :lol2 3rd was a mazda b22000 ext (old school)pick-up I remember everyone would by those cause you could lower them yourself without buying a kit. Then I did a maverick that the brakes didnt work, you had to pull the emergency brake, but he had a alpine head unit and two 12's. :lol2 I remember when I worked for a shop back in the day this guy came in with a datsun 280Z. He forgot to tell me no brakes(had to pull emergency brake) Well the 280 when through the wall and I ended up in the showroom after I ran over their stock of about 50 sunroofs. The guy didnt even care his car was bashed up as long as we could still tint the windows. :lol2:lol2:hmmm

Mine was a Ford SPAM XR3i back in 1987. I took windows out and never forget my mothers face when she walked in to the house to find me with the front window on her polished table with water and film everywhere. :40

I gave up and went out and brought a set of Perspex windows.

Then started flat glass about 7 years ago. First car as a tinter was a vw camper with sliding windows in silver. man they looked like :dunno

Then a Ford Galaxy about 2 months later, back window in 5 pieces with overlaps left in, side rears in 2 pieces. Yes I kid you not side rear 2 pieces, gaps at top of roll downs.

took all day.

I went and done some more work for him about 4 years ago and he still has it .

I looked and shuddered.

I have had no training, but now tint about 15 cars a week with no probs. :twocents

My first was my 1982 rs capri in 84 It is just like the mustang GT but a mercury 302 4 spd I did the back in 2 pieces took the door panels off 20% all the way :40 used an edge trimming tool on the frameless doors.It took me 2 days to tint this car :twocents but after it was done it looked better than any tint job from the local tint shop in town that had been open 4 years :dunnopost-32-1163887215.jpg

Threads like these make me feel too young.

Your first cars were all 70/80/90's, mine was a 2000 4Runner :(.

Pretty sh***y job if you ask me, I re-tinted it about 5 times in two weeks.
