Blackdout Posted October 22, 2018 Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 I’m trying to remove old tint off a bg and the first layer comes out fine but the second layer is flaking in a million pieces. Is there anyway to remove the tint without damaging the defrosters. I’ve been using a steamer with no luck. Any help would be appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jh812 Posted October 22, 2018 Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 What kind of vehicle is it? Only thing you may be able to try is bagging it. Not sure it'll work at this point though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a 98 accord coupe. Think the tint has been on since about that time too. 🤯 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tint Slayer Posted October 22, 2018 Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 i've heard of people tinting over it then removing both, just mentioning, i've never done it florida tinter and CaliTINT 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNTLady Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 Sounds lik the kind of removal job that makes ya want to scream, through crap and want to shut the doors and quit for good. I really have no good advice for you.....I can count on one hand the rear glass removal jobs like that that totally slayed me. Maybe tell the customer what you have discovered about it and explain you will have to scrape the entire glass thereby removing the defroster in order to get it tinted.

CaliTINT Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 I did one the other day and at that point had to pull out the razor blades. The tinting over it then removing sounds interesting if it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
