Hey my tint friends! It's been a very long time since I've posted here at TD.
I have a couple questions for anyone who has experience tinting large RV windows.
1. The customer is replacing some windows, but the replacement glass is clear while the existing windows are factory tinted approximately 20%. What's the chance I can match the shade and color between the two? He's asking for limo, so if I was dealing with a standard SUV I would just add 20% to 20% factory tint. Since these windows are flat and it will be much easier to see any minor differences between panes, I'm concerned.
2. The customer is rightfully worried about 4g/5g signal strength thru the film. These RVs run exclusively on hotspots, so the film cannot block any signal. Do you have suggestions for the film type to use; dyed, metalized, ceramic, etc.?
3. I asked the customer to follow up on this questions since he's purchasing the replacement glass, but... all of the glass is dual pane/thermo-pane glass. Should I be concerned with adding limo film to the inside surface of these windows?
Any info would be appreciated. I've been tinting cars only, and only on a part-time basis for the last 10-15 years. I'm not too excited about this job with the unanswered questions above, along with some access issues to some of the glass. The window behind the rear cabin bed is partially blocked by cabinets, for instance, with only ≈3-4 inches of clearance. Either way, it could be worth the income, since he has two full busses to tint, but that's only if I can match the shade and deliver a product that works for the customer.
Thank you,
Exact-Oh
