    I use a graphics program called inkscape and lay out the film pieces as colored boxes and figure out the best use on larger jobs like you pictured.

    Could be some old HP film that the dye faded

    I know iwfa lawyers and such were involved in the changes in Illinois in 2009. Personally talked to someone from there when I had questions...

    I think that if YOU chose the tint darkness you are out of luck. You could have stated you wanted the "darkest legal" and they could have provided that but if you choose a darkness then you should have researched better or talked to the tint shop before.

    Get a really good 80% on the windshield. Never know is tinted from a visual point but you'll get a decent about of heat blocked. Technically legal? No. All they be able to tell? Not of the install is really great.

    The 3 specs in the sides look like a simple dust nib to me. If it is truly clear then it could be a flaw. Just the pictures we have look like a small contamination.

    Sounds like the hard coat, scratch resistant coating, is coming off. It looks like metallic flakes when it goes.

    If it messes up the tint I would bet the rest of the interior would be destroyed too!

    I buy from Solar Control Saint Louis. Richard is the best film distributor I've ever had. (314) 993-8468

    I've been using global HP for almost 14 years. Never seen any issue. In fact I had a vehicle back to get a broken window tinted and the other windows were perfect. No color change or fade on HP 05. A delivery vehicle that is in the sun all the time. It was 13 year old tint!

    Why is this idiot still here? @TintDude

    I have 10" film for windshield strips. That's the most anyone gets anymore.

    No set number of times for me. It all depends on my mood, time available, and just what it is...... The last time I said yes to a utility tractor, glass was out, I did ONE attempt at the one window. Dirt ran down into my tint and I was done. It was never going to be what I expect my work to be! Never again on a tractor of any kind.

    Looks like "ghosting" which is a metal in film gathering heavily when shrinking the film. I had this with an all metal film when I started. Proper shrink is needed to spread out the heat..... Take it back.

    Over 8 years ago.....yeah he's still got it for sale

    They make or did make a clear film for windshield exterior. It would need to be replaced regularly depending on how the car is maintained and the wear and tear that it goes through....
  17. Ryker
    Yeah, that is normal for those windows. Get a bottle of "puffy paint" in the craft section at Wal-Mart. It is like a buck and will make a nice bead like caulking to cover those light gaps!

    I've got a car that was tinted 13 years ago with Global HP 05 that has zero color change or fade....pictures to show it too. It is a delivery vehicle and always outside.

    I see a lot of crap on the video. The bottom on the back window isn't that much but the sides on the driver side lol really bad and the sunroof is rather narley....
  20. Ryker
    Only 150 for the front sides for a carbon tint..... That tint job sucks....PERIOD
  21. Ryker
    Never heard of 1%. The crap at Wal-Mart use to have a 2.5% but it wasn't really that dark. It metered at 5 from what I know. Madico had a darker film. Global QDP has a 4%. Truth is that you won't even see those little differences with your eyes.
  22. Ryker
    All new car glass is around 70%. "25% film" can be darker than 25 and still be called 25 too.... Manufacturing tolerances can be a few percent, meter can vary a few percent too....
  23. Ryker
    I thought, the OP, went to the shop and said he was told it was crap by tintdude. The shop came here and posted this. Who else would seriously defend this crappy of a tint job?
  24. Ryker
    Anyone else notice this melayeze has only 2 posts and on this. Wonder if they are the ones that did this job!
  25. Ryker
    Nothing like this would leave my shop. Perfect? No. Can you find more than a few specs on anything worth tinting? Absolutely not. You would have to be nose printing 99% of my work to find anything. This tint job could be done better by any beginner that has any skill level! I'll rephrase and say that if you think this is acceptable then you need to quit!
