This thread is stupid.

Lets whine about being a dumbass. Tint your car legal, pay the fine, and consider it a lesson learned.

Ok how about you go start your own thread about what a jackass you are, and we'll make sure to post there also.

We could try that, but there would be a problem with it. Im not a jackass. And certainly not one that owns a company that tints his OWN vehicle illegal. Jackass!

Well the OP didnt mention coning the system. Just looking to make conversation with fellow tinters. Is that not safe anymore??? Why is it somehow ok or cool to blast some one in the manner that Tintjunkie and others choose to. Ever notice that ratio of views to posts on any given thread on any given forum. This is due greatly to the abuse that jerk-off keyboard cowards throw off. It makes people timid about posting for fear of getting blasted for no good reason.

And they were 8% not 5%. lol

Its fine making conversation, but any attention given to THIS forum, one would know respect is not given to those who openly admit to tinting illegally. If you do it, keep your mouth shut about it. Im surprised Im the only one who called this thread what it is. Maybe they are wiser than me to stay outta this one.

For the record, I have never jerked-off on my keyboard (I go through quite a bit of paper towels), and im not a coward...thats why YOU are the jackass and not me.

I dont give a s#1% who knows that I tint illegal. Show me a tinter who claims to have never tinted beyond the legal limits and I will show you a liar!

By the way, where you choose to "jerk" it is your problem... Jackazz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, last Wednesday was the day in court. That morning just before heading to the court I removed the film on the rear doors of my Armada leaving the factory 20%. This left me with 25%FD, 20%RD, 5%RQTR, 5%BG, 10"5% Strip. I had no interest in fighting the ticket or doing anything other than pleading guilty and paying the fine. However a friend of mine who is a county cop advised me to do this, so I did.

When the judge call me up; here how it went.

Judge: How do you plea?

Me: Guilty.

Judge: Have you removed the film?

Me: Yes.

Judge: Is it here for inspection?

Me: Yes:

So he sends an officer out with me to take a look. This guy did not bring a meter. :thumb After scratching his head about it for like five minutes he calls over another officer who was a total ass. This guy did not even know the tint laws at all nor did he have a meter, but he was dead set on finding me to be illegal. After arguing over it for a few minutes he calls over yet another officer. This guy hollers out he's legal I can tell from here. This was from like 80 feet away. So he then argues with the second officer over rather or not there is non factory film on my rear doors until I take out a knife and attempt to find the film that is not there. Eventually the second cop gives up or realized he did not know what he was supposed to be looking for and we all go inside. And I go before the judge again.

Judge: What did we find?

Clerk: He's legal.

Judge: Well sir it looks like you got a free shot this time. Null Process.

Me: Uhhhh. OK.

So, I left thinking, WTF??!!?!?

Not one of the officers quoted the tint law correctly. My Strip was not legal, but they did not even look. My Back Glass was not legal, they looked but said nothing. There were none of the required ID labels, but they did not look. My Rear doors were totally factory but they tripped balls for 15 minutes over them. I plead guilty and did not request any exemption but got a "free shot" even though the ticket noted my profession.

End result. I printed off a copy of the Arkansas tint law to keep in the truck for reference in the future, and re-tinted the truck.

Legal film sucks, but its less of a PIA.

      Llumar air 80 vs 3m Crystalline - dealer advised to go regular 3m ceramic over Crystalline

      @Tintguy1980 pretty much covered the difference in the films. Since Ceramic films absorb the heat, the vehicle must be in motion to push the hot air away. No motion means more heat building up in the glass and radiating inward to you. Since Crystalline redirects heat away, the radiating inward heat is much less if you are in traffic or sitting still. As far as the shop, they either don't want to stock Crystalline since it is $$$$ per roll or do not want to install it since it takes more work and time. Also, not all 3M dealers can install Crystalline. If you check the dealer locator, if they do not have "Crystalline Preferred" listed, then this is most likely the case. With that being said, we absolutely love the Ceramic IR line, so you can't go wrong there.

      Graphtec Plotter

      I should reach out to graphtec about this issue, but I'm curious if anyone else has experienced the same problem with their plotter. My graphtec plotter can cut specific designs flawlessly without any problems with pressure or shape. Occasionally I experience an issue where I will plot a design consisting of two fronts or a rear windshield window, and the cut is flawless, but just before the plotter finishes, allowing me to remove the excess material from the machine. It reaches the end as if it will finish feeding it completely and then abruptly lowers the blade as if it still needs to cut the design, slicing right through the pattern it just created. Do you have any thoughts on why that occurs?

      Llumar air 80 vs 3m Crystalline - dealer advised to go regular 3m ceramic over Crystalline

      Easy technical explanation of the difference between Crystalline and regular 'ceramic' labeled products, including 3Ms: Crystalline is designed to 'reflect' NIR (Near Infrared, the sun's energy we 'feel' first) as opposed to 'ceramic' products absorbing. Absorbing translates into feeling the sun's energy radiating off the window as your arm is rested next to it. Therefore, Crystalline is superior to ceramics. This is the pitch I would make to you as a buyer. Maybe the dealer you spoke with simply doesn't want to pay the price for a roll of the product. I've had Crystalline 40 on my front door glass for 8 yrs now and it shows zero sign of any degradation in color, performance and clarity. Crystalline would be better than AIR80 for the windshield as well.

      Llumar air 80 vs 3m Crystalline - dealer advised to go regular 3m ceramic over Crystalline

      I just got off the phone with a 3m dealer in Dallas and he strongly advised me to save my money and get their regular ceramic and not the 3M Crystalline. He said I'd never know the difference and acted like it was NOTHING more than a marketing strategy. So that's got me all confused. He could make more money off me, but I feel like he's being honest and I appreciate that. But, then I hear everywhere else how much better Crystalline is over other products. So, I'm still debating on Air 80 or Crystalline for the windshield and Llumar IRx or Formula 1 or 3m Crystalline for the other windows.. So much to consider! FYI, I generally like the best for a couple hundred more, BUT I do want there to be some improvement.

      Beginner trying to learn, where I'm at...

      Welcome to the forum! I would recommend Global non-cap ppf and get a second bottle with plain water only to flush the edges for better adhesion. If you're leaving water behind try using a different squeegee. I prefer a dark yellow turbo from Interwest. Instead of heating I think you should be streaching the film into place to pull the fingers out.

      What did you tint today?

      Y'all try not to get too excited, but this is the four cylinder Suzuki version of the Geo Metro with a whopping 1.3L. No ac or power steering but getting 45mpg on 13" rims.

      Beginner trying to learn, where I'm at...

      Hello, thanks for allowing me to join. I'm a retired auto technician/High School Automotive Instructor. Enjoyed working on cars all of my life. I have had and still have several nice cars (mostly Corvettes) and enjoy keepng them nice. I have a lift in my garage which helps with the install on lower areas of the vehicle. I have been tinkering with PPF film here and there on rock chip prone areas on my cars. I have been sucessful sometimes installing where it was acceptable to my liking, but never perfect. I have had to rip several off and start over. That doesn't bother me because I really want to master this. Education isn't free and if it means wasting film and time I understand. I have gotten over the fear of installing it on small areas (front of wheel well area on rear quarter of C8 Corvette) and shrinking it with heat gun to smooth out fingers but cannot do an insatll without getting any bubbles completely. Some installs the bubbles have dried over a couple of weeks and were acceptable for me. But other installs were not, and I had to start over. The solution I'm using is the typical 16oz distilled water and 2 or 3 drops of baby shampoo. The film is Ebay pre-cut kits. Can anyone shed any light as to what I'm doing wrong to minimize the bubbles? Is there a different solution I should be using? Is there a better film to start with that is easier to use for beginners? I'd appreciate any advice or tips I can get. Thanks in advance!

      Xpel; rookie (me) popped air pocket and nicked paint

      Thanks for the reply! I will see what happens. I tested the paint on a scrap of PPF I had sitting around, the it seems really secure. Just for perspective, I attached a photo of my goof. It really was a small divot, just bugged me that I did it at all. I did place a very small bit of paint on the top of the exposure. Living in MN, rust is always the concern, so I am hoping I have this sealed. While I know that PPF can't heal a cut like this, it was very flat so the exposure should hopefully be minimal. (What looks like a fold is the reflection of a seam in the ceiling)
