Solar fx vintage and carbon line.

Crazydays01 · February 10, 2017

I am trying the solar fx carbon film line and notice it Has a faint blue hue on the 35% . How does the vintage look as far as matching to factory tint. My global has a light charcoal shade and comes pretty close in the 20% but seems a little darker the factory. Me being picky. I just ordered a 30%qdp to see how that compares . I'm looking for a more true black film. I called dragon and he advised me the carbon Or vintage would be better. I wanted to reach out to fellow Tinter's for advice before I spend money on the rolls and it is not what I thought and sits on my shelf.

Vintage is probably the best match for factory

That's what I thought because global says charcoal. It always looked off to me. Every one who I tinted loved it. How does vintage holds up. Color stable etc.

I like the color of vintage for sure. We haven't used FX for more than 2 months now. But don't plan on switching ever haha. I love the Hybrid. The performance is off the charts and damn near a ceramic.

Try the ultra out, FYI vintage is not a color stable film. And yes the carbon 20 30 and 35 have a blue hue to them which I actually like but the 5 and 43 are green. Idk why they are different.

Been using Solar FX for over 3 years now, mostly Vintage for dealer work, Carbon for retail. The 30% or 32% is best match in my opinion for factory glass. Vintage seems a little darker than Carbon. Zero warranties turned in so far on either films. Vintage is color weatherable and carbon is color stable.

I have noticed the global is a good match for sum and others no so good. I have an account with dragon and plan on ordering this afternoon. I'll ask about the vintage and ultra. Thanks peeps
