has anyone bought tint from express window films?

[tintcartel]

Yes its worth it and i use it everyday. Shrinks like butter and it proved itself on a vw beetle today and it actually took me less then i expected on shrink time

Classic Black.  Great film, easy to use and looks awesome.  Don't use true black... turns brown really quick

[jh812]

Howard can go all into detail on that but what I know is true black is not color stable which means it could fade. I've used that film and it looks great. If they called me today and told me it was color stable I wouldn't use anything else. The classic charcoal (qdp) is a great film that doesn't fade and that's what I carry.

I don't think color stable means no fade. Color stable usually means it will not turn purple.

Hi Ocalastinter & jh812,

Even color stable films will gain a very, very slight amount of VLT over time. But the amount is so nominal, as to almost be insignificant. You would need light metering equipment to detect it. We have never processed a single fade claim on a CS product. Yes, it does get lighter but for all practical purposes, it is a non-issue.

jh812: Great talking to you again today as usual. I am always here for you if you need me. Check your voicemail - I left you a message pertaining to the topic we were discussing.

I got the voice mail as usual it was just as soon as I stuck the top half of the film on a vehicle. Quick question Howard. Do you have a problem with lda 70 on a dual pane window?

i actually just got off the phone with someone from 1800flimnow and he was telling me a lot about how about to order and what not. i checked film now.com and told me to check out the quick dry films there a little bit more then the first site i posted. Any feedback on that and what exactly the difference is between them?

 

Hi 94turboteggy621,

 

That was me you were speaking with - the owner and founder of the company (here since 1982).

 

You are within our designated Global area, so I suggest the tried-and-true QDP.  You will not find a more solid roll of film anywhere.  Call again if you have further questions.  You are in a 1 day UPS Ground Zone, so if you need anything you will have it the very next business day if you order by 2PM.

 

Thanks !!

I guess my timing was impeccable !!

 

LDA70 on dual pane (less than 40 sq/FT) is AOK.  Go for it.

Yeah just small windows in the garage. Just finished with them and it looks great.

[jh812]

1. Is my understanding correct?

Classic Black = QDP

2. Is there a charcoal QDP?

Thanks.

I believe it's reverse that.

[EWF]

The color is different on the CB, which is made exclusively for EWF by the factory to resemble the Sun-Tek Carbon.

 

Thanks,

 

Howard
