Darkimag22 got a reaction from Tint Slayer in Heat gun advice
I've used Milwaukee heat guns for years. Last gun lasted 10+ years and just replaced it with this model...

Darkimag22 got a reaction from TintDude in Bad ppf and tint job? Help!
It's a brand new car...if there are ANY cut marks it's on the installer 100%. As far as proving it...any reputable shop would fix what they f%cked up (then again any reputable shop would not allow a hack job like this). I would look very closely at all seams and edges as cuts on darker paint will not be hard to see if there are any (which I really hope there isn't). Good luck man.

If this is the work that the owner allows to leave his shop I would be asking (demanding, actually) a refund. I would make sure to be there when the PPF is removed because I would put money of it that there is cut paint in more places than one. Seeing this kind of workmanship makes my blood boil. As far as the tint goes, I would maybe give them one more shot at making it right but I wouldn't have very high expectations. Sorry to be a Debbie downer but I hope there is no damage to the paint and I hope you are able to get this all fixed.
The 2nd last pic is the PPF...again, not installed correctly. All the little white specks are dust. Literally looking over your pictures shaking my head.

Darkimag22 got a reaction from Dano in Installation
It's adhesive lines. You need a bit more slip in your solution. This happens when you squeegee over a area that is dry and stuck to the glass. This can also happen if you squeegee after heating the glass (after install) to get rid of imperfections, etc. I would make sure you get all the adhesive off the glass before your next attempt (Methyl Hydrate is what I use).

To keep your initial costs down, I would get a 36" roll of 20% and 5% (that size will work on 99% of the vehicles out there), and then a 24" roll of 35%. That would get you started and then you can adjust from there. Where in Canada are you from?

Darkimag22 got a reaction from TintDude in I want to get my car tinted but I have some issues I think might stop me from getting Tint ?
Please don't take it in for tint until it's fixed. There's nothing worse when you have a scheduled vehicle come in and 1 or more windows don't work...or the door won't open...or my favorite is when you have the key on for 30 seconds and the battery dies.
