I did a 2010 Prius...xpel on the mirrors..solar gaurd on the hood...venture on the fenders and top of the bumper cover....and 3M on the lower half of the bumper. This car was black. All the film looked good but the venture looked the best. I should have taken a picture. It was a showroom car and was sold.

I should have put some avery on it....but they wont give me a sample.

The Aerospace film is intended for airplanes, and they don't care if the paint comes off when its removed. I'd stick with something that's designed for automotive applications.

Actually this is not a "good call". The adhesive I have found is stronger the Venture Ultra but not as strong as 3M is. It is MUCH easier to remove than 3M... and after 6 years of using it now I have yet to see of ever hear of film lifting paint. I have seen 3M lift a few times though... and had times where the film came off in little pieces instead of a sheet. ClearMask does stand behind the warranty as well and I have spoken with Jim about paint lifting issues and he does cover it if it happens.

I personally have only seen paint lift/peel if its not OEM paint and a sh!tty respray. How about you keep using what your using and I will keep using what I am using :lol

Spot on Albert NO film is accountable for Paint Pull it is ALWAYS a crap paint job end of, anyone other than a noob knows this if they have been around long enough to figure it out.

Three reasons paint puls.

1) Film fitted before paint has cured clear coat still slightly tacky film bonds to clear coat clearcoat detatches when film removed

2) Primer not keyed (sanded) correctly so that the base coat (color coat) doesnt bond correctly therefore when film (any film) is removed basecoat and clearcoat detach from primer. This is easy to spot as the primer will be very smooth to the touch and there will be no sanding marks in it.

3) Smart repairs done with a a single pack clear coat (there are two types single and two pack) single pack clear coats use alcohol as a thinner (youre ahead of me right) :lol You hit that with alcohol during fitting and guess what the clear coat softens and bonds to the film. When you come to take it off you get the same effect as 1) above. The solution to this is to warn the customer ahead of time and get them to ensure the paintshop only uses a two pack clear coat.

When paint comes off its is NEVER your fault nor is it the FILMS FAULT . Just because some moron in 3M was stupid enough to warranty paint pull and create the impression that film can cause this, dont make it so. It just means that someone in 3M is a complete asshat!

The paintshop who did the repaint will always try and blame the film or the installer if you let them get away away with it then you are dumber than 3M are imho:)

Please lets stop the undeducated idiocy of comparing films on characteristics that are technically incorect. let me restate NONE OF THE FILMS ARE THE CAUSE OF PAINT PULL ITS THE PAINT!!!!!!!!

Cheers

Tom

venture ultra :spit

Going ahead with a few rolls of VS Ultra. Wondering whether all VS ultra rolls come with the Ventureshield logo printed on the backing sheet or there are even rolls with plain backing available.

      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!
