thinking of wrapping my 05 trailblazer ini black matte . I am experience in tinting and somewhat in clear bra installs . Not sure if that skill would help . I have done a little minor install with air release vinyl .

on a scale of 1-10 how hard is the install ? roof has ripples in it ?

also is black matt out of style ? What finish is in now . Looking for a black rugged look ?

trailblazers are easy. Just get a wrapping cast film with an airrealease and you are good to go. I wouldn't do the full color change, just the exterior. Some wrap color changes, we take everything apart and wrap it separately. You shouldn't have to do that for yourself. I'd do a pearl color, check out avery's new wrap colors. They are pretty tight.

I like the rugged look of the black matte but dont want to put it on if its out of fashion. I know its been around for a while now . . Any recommendations on avery colors that are in style now . Here is a pic of the black matte

are you just going for a solid color or are you gonna add your logos and stuffs?

Flat black looks neat still to me, although it is a bit dated. Bright colors are in right now. Lime greens, sonic oranges, hot pinks, pearls are still hot. Maybe do a flat gray instead of black or a flat army green? That would get attention :)

You could do a flat army green and some old time stencil looking graphics with your name and website, contact info. Make it look like an old army jeep.

      Help me tint my living room windows

      Blinds/curtains will be the best route. You would have to add a dark window film to reduce the sun a good amount but not eliminate it. Anything darker will be extremely noticeable from the outside. Anything lighter will not be drastic enough to make a difference.

      Help me tint my living room windows

      I have a living room with windows on the east and south and knowing what I know about the effectiveness of even the darkest film, which comes with hazards of thermo stress on the dual pane glass ... I set the TV in the corner between the two windows. Viewing the TV and the windows in the same field of vision. There will always be a reflection of the windows on the TV, just muted. Curtains are the best solution for this issue.

      Mutoh cutter

      Anyone using a Mutoh valuecut-2 for cutting tint? I have one that I use for vinyl and plan on buying another cutter just for tint if it will work. Looking to stay with the Mutoh as I am familiar with it. Thanks

      Help me tint my living room windows

      I live in a second story apartment and there are two windows in my living room, one facing east and one facing north. My TV is against the wall facing left and my couch is against the north wall right next to the window. In the late morning and early afternoon the sun shines through the east window and casts an annoying reflection on my TV, and sometime around 1 or 2 pm every day the sun gets right in my eyes when I am sittin or lying on my couch even when I am facing the TV. I want to cover these windows with just the right film for solving all of these problems while also making it not look obvious that I tinted them, and I'm not sure what kind I should use because apparently different brands will have different results even if it's the same percentage, could someone help me out here

      IR or UV Coating on glass.

      The coating can be removed by "dry scraping" with stainless single edge razor blades, but it is very time consuming and tedious. The coating comes off like a super fine powder. If done correctly there is no damage to the glass and you can tint it just fine after a thorough cleaning. I scraped the drivers door clean after making the mistake of scratching the coating but I did not scrape the passenger side. After tinting you could not tell the difference between the two.

      IR or UV Coating on glass.

      Sure looks like auto glass technology is advancing. I remember the coating on Lexus and some Toyota models could be removed with a glass polish. It took some effort to get to the glass itself and that was an anti-fog coating technology. This IR/UV coating is looking like it is more robust. I wouldn't want to be the one experimenting with whatever product to attempt removal of it. The UV rating is 99%+ reduction, but they limit what they say about IR performance to: Mitigates sense of intense heat on the skin ... Controls rising cabin temperatures. The link is to a company that apparently is deep into providing glass with this coating and they certainly limit info. Take a look for yourself. This appears to be something that could/would expand to more brands/models. It sure is going to put a new slant on selling film and installing film to cars. https://www.cgc-jp.com/products/search_category/automotiveglass/ircut.html
