All I'm trying to get across is that I am just someone that doesn't have a family to support and I am someone that is just getting into the tinting world. BUT I don't like the fact that the first thing that I have ever said on this board was sent back to me with two ass remarks. I found that very unprofessional and coming from men like you guys that have been around for a while I felt offended. So naturally I came back with some anger involved. Plus one thing that I do want to say is I am a very creative person and have tons of great ideas that may just change the way we can do custom graphix in cars.

Next I don't want people to think I do little half-ass work just to get some "crack" and have fun with this. I consider myself a soon to be known as a graphic artist in the tinting world. I can do designs like house of tint. But I just don't have the demand like he does.

So I am asking that you back off of me and just let me in your crowd to enjoy this chatting web site and maybe some day down the road we may just help each other in redesigning custom tinting as we know it. I have a great big obsession with custom tinting and don't want to quit. And there will be nothing that will stop me from designing custom graphix.

My partner with the company designed the horse on the saleen mustang. Not one of my designs, which was made before I came along with his shop.

And last.... I don't care for the fader films on the entire windows but I do like to put them into some designs.

SO BACK OFF THE NEW GUY!!!!

Done......I'm backin' off. It just seemed you jumped my sh!t for no reason other than the fader remark. I'm not gonna beat a dead horse(like some of us have in other posts :rollin )

So do I. Our company's web site has minimal pics on it. Our company also has 8 very talented tinters who do different graphics. Some custom, some computer cut. It's all good!

You'll find that most anyone here frowns on illegal tint in any form. Don't take it personally. It WAS the fader.

Everyone one of us who's a 'regular' enjoys a new guy joining the chat.

No bad blood at all as long it's understood that if it has name, chances are it's been done before.

I came into the tint industry in 1980 hearing about my predecessor doing graphics and later saw some of his work in the bosses office. He had worked for them 5 years before metint, so that puts tint graphics waaaay back when.

Welcome to the board AA cents...

Anyone CAN do anything with tint, if they have a creative streak in them. Definitely not something that can be taught, it is innate.

:hmmm

      Automotive Tint Comparison

      1) Why avoid Suntek? I thought they resolved that issued with the easy scratching and that they are one of the market leaders in Australia? Also, it seems most of the well established Tint businesses use Suntek 2) I've heard mixed things about Rayno, with some installers raving about it and others disparaging it. Makes it difficult for the consumer to know the truth, given vested interests exist. 3) Is Ultragard a Australian exclusive product? The IP seems to be owned by GTS FILMS PTY LTD. How's the quality as it seems to have limited installers. 4) Is the MEP Films CNP that apparently are Manufactured by LLumar of the same quality as the LLumar tints (such as Llumar Formula One Stratos; Llumar Formula One Pinnacle; Llumar CTX)? 5)

      Cracked glass

      The crack indicates thermal stress, however, the edge of the glass may have an imperfection (bur or clam shell chip). The crack does run 90 degrees out from the edge and curves as it follows any weaknesses in the pane itself. I have attached a pictured of what tempered glass looks like when it breaks and alongside it what a plate (or float) and heat-strengthened glass looks like when it breaks. The outer panel my be tempered should indicate so by a stamp etched on the glass surface in one corner. It should indicate tempered. Plate glass has no indicators, however, heat-strengthened glass will crack in the same manner as plate glass. I'm an unsure whether heat-strengthened glass requires a stamp. Tempered glass is 4 times stronger than plate and heat-strengthened is 2 times stronger than plate. 1 in 24 is indicative of edge imperfection. I could not find the solar absorption rate of DN 50, but if it is similar to competitive films, there should be no issue with that installation setting (including a straight line shadow). This, too, points back to edge imperfection as the cause. And finally, I spy drapes in a close position, correct? If so, it would be helpful to crack open during sun exposure; this to assist in allowing trapped heat between the glass and drapes to dissipate.

      Cracked glass

      Hello. I recently installed Johnson Daylight Natural DN 50 on a couple of windows. Solar energy rejection is 39%. The windows are double pane and the glass is supposed to be tempered 4mm + tempered 6mm. The roof overhang shades the top 1/3 - 1/2 of the windows. However, a few days after installation I noticed that one of the glass has cracked, presumably due to thermal stress. Should I remove the film from the rest of the windows? I installed the film on 24 of these windows (6 tiny houses) so now 1 out of 24 is broken. Or is it more likely that I just got unlucky and the glass had a defect? Is shading from the roof overhang such a big factor? The glass cracked. Is it really tempered? I thought tempered glass would shatter, but not crack. Thanks!

      Residential Window Tint - Suntek SYDS vs. Solar Gard Slate vs. Madico Optivision

      Did you get this taken care of? What were the results and are you pleased?

      Residential Film without blue hue?

      Take a look at 3M's Nightvision or LLumar's Dual Reflective series, they both have a warm tone to them.

      Steer clear of Black Armour, Suntek, ASWF. The others are good choices if you are in Australia. Check out the reviews of the installer too. It’s not just the materials that have to be proper. Never go for the cheapest!!!

      Residential Film without blue hue?

      Hey guys I am in the process of having window film installed in my home but have a question about which brand I should go with. Hoping yall can help me out. I have a room that faces a busy street and as a result my blinds pretty much always stay closed. I love having natural daylight but not so much people being able to see what i'm doing in my room/all my expensive equipment. I used to work in the window film industry as a helper/installer/salesman when I was in highschool and we did a lot residential/commercial work. The specific brand of film we used always left a certain blue and cool appearance. Is there any brand of residential film that does not have this effect? I mainly just cannot stand having blue light amplified and am looking for a film that has a neutral shade to it or even a warm/yellow hue. I have single pane windows and I do not necessarily care about heat rejection but if I have to pay more for a ceramic film rather than a dual reflective or a standard film I am willing to if that helps solve the issue. Again, any help is really appreciated with this there are so many new window film brands out there and it really is cool to see how far the industry has come.

      LLumar, 3M and Solargard have in the industry as far back as the genesis of window film mid-1960's). Solargard is the younger of the three and all others came to play in the last 20 or so years. I've had all three on my vehicles over the years and my current is 3M Crystalline on my Jeep since 2015. It still has stable color, scratch coat is holding strong and impeccable adhesive clarity. Never been garaged. My choice toady would be 3M or LLumar.
