ray guard is very cheap in price but in that case u get what u pay for. I used it once and it was way too thin and didnt hold up. unless it changed at all, it doesnt hold out the heat like the sp series. yet at the same time, sp doesnt last but maybe 2-3 years around here before it starts to break down so just imagine what u are gonna be facing with the cheaper stuff. if your gonna switch to a non metalized film, at least make sure that its color stable. then u can still offer the custys a warranty, not go down on your price, and still come out ahead. now do I really have to say which film do I think is great for what u are looking for?

Now is it worth the risk of switching? well lets just say u should invest in a steamer and some blades if u do.

thats just my opinion of coarse.

And here's some off-topic :beer pictures of Greystone 30% on the front, rest is factory tint:

Looks a little dark in the picture, but even out in the sun it looks nice with the factory rears.

Looking out:

That's all I've done with it, but I liked it and was impressed with the clarity. Didn't get to shrink any yet... but don't remember ever reading any complaints about it.

Okay... back to the original topic of Harold & Willie. :beer:dunno:thumb

      TintX Puremax and Koolmax

      All Right cool. I've been practicing with an inexpensive tint I found on amazon. Its called Rockrose. I'm just about ready to make some cards to pass around to get clientele. I've been debating if I should start with Puremax cuz its a lot cheaper or Geoshield cuz of the great quality I've heard of. I'll probably go with Geoshield so I can make it easy on myself and make sure I do great quality work for my customers. Are you already doing doing jobs for customers? If so, did you stop using the Puremax and now only use Geoshield?

      Heavy Ghosting - Geoshield "Geo" Line

      Ghosting week require a smoother, more even and spread out shrink. Look at my old "ryk shrink" using 2 heart guns with an over/under setup. That would be my suggestion.

      Heavy Ghosting - Geoshield "Geo" Line

      Hey all, I am not a pro tinter but more or less just someone who likes to experiment / DIY. Wanted to ask if there was anyone here who has used the Geoshield "Geo" line for automotive purposes? I really like the color, but I get really bad ghosting for anything that requires decent shrinking. The film is specced as architectural, but has a PS adhesive so some use it in auto applications. I sent an email to see if that is the reason why it's for flat glass .. lol This is a sputtered TiN film and has a beautiful color imho. This reminds me of Huper Optik, and not quite sure but I think Johnson had a line called "InsulatIR" that I could never get my hands on to try. The film has a slightly purplish reflection (TiN I guess), when put on green auto glass, filters out and looks super neutral. ❤️ I've had it on my auto for a while but my rear window is a mess when the sun hits it (ghosting) and was curious if this is just not suitable for auto Any info would be appreciated. Skill issue, ie: shrink with lower heat? lol Thanks.

      chameleon window tint good quality

      If you don't mind trying to source some, there is a large Japanese manufacturer that makes a bunch of dichroic - looking films. It might be your style, but it would be hard to get your hands on some. https://www.braintec.co.jp/filmlab/ I believe some of the films do have decent heat-rejection, but because of the nature of the films, looking through them can be really funky. They are well-known in Japan and would likely be of decent quality. Also, very expensive. Depending on where you are, shipping would also be $$$.

      TintX Puremax and Koolmax

      I feel the difference in quality with geoshield. Not only is it easier to peel the liner off but shrinking feels better and I think the material feels slightly thicker(helps with not creasing) Only downside that the price noticeably different. For mainly everything Its atleast another 100 on top of for example stuff from tints Lexen. I haven’t tried solarfree either.

      Automotive Tint Comparison

      At least twice, yes. Although since we don't know what vehicle it is you're planning to tint, that was a bit presumptuous of me.

      The History of Window Tinting

      Interesting post, the first piece of window film installed " TRANSPARENT AND REFLECTING ARTICLE" from 3M was installed in the summer of 1959 . at that time the company that installed the film was Columbia Building Maintenance and at that time the film did not have an adhesive.
