Hope there isnt dirty paint to place this on.

I would think any sliding the magnet does when removing it would have the same chance as scratching as a cord would.

Might have to try it out on beaters before going to brand new cars. :poke

It will definatley scratch the paint!!!!!

:thumb ......on the scratching.

And what would your solution be for say a fiberglass or aluminum vehicle.If I was a customer and seen some Big sheets of magnets sticking to my car I would certainly be eye phucking it after for sure.

I have a solution for this scratching problem I will be posting soon when I have more time to make it.as well as a few more tools and tips I am currently working on.when I am done with them I will post them on this site.hint on one of them Dot Matrix issues almost done with that one but still working on an applicator for hard to reach areas.

The|\|4L customer, will definatley go look at the area that the magnet was on looking for scratches..

How about running a few strips of 24" long packing tape along the cleaned fenders?

No movement of the protective material means no scratches, unlike using a drop cloth or some such.

      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.
