Hi All,

Anyone out there that's tinted their own windows? I see these window tint kits in the auto parts stores and was wondering if its worth doing it yourself or is it best left to the professionals.

 

application is very important to good looking ting. Good materials are also very important to look and longevity.

Both of those are qualities only the pros can provide. LLumar is one of, if not the best brand of tint

 

Go Pro on this, it's not as easy as you might think.....

 

+1... you dont want your car ending with chicken pox purple faded tints after a year

 

it really isnt as easy as it looks. and if the front sides are to be done right, you will probably have to take off the door panels. the money spent will be well worth it. also, if the rear window isnt done right, and you have to take it off, you will risk damaging the strips for the window defroster.

 

Manish- no need to remove the door panels, I had it professionally done and they somehow got it under the weather strip... lol i was there watching and didnt even see it happen it was so quick.

but, yes, go pro on this- my roommate tried to do his own (with my help), and i am pretty good at it, but we still ended up with pretty dam big bubbles (Even with a heat gun and proper wet applying techniques... ) part of it was the cheap quality tint that those shops have (autozone, walmart, etc)... i have a suntek ceramic tint done professionally, and you can def tell a night and day difference from a pro and a diy. but i mean, if you're good enough at it, do it up! tho it seems like you haven't tinted anything before.. flat glass is very easy... but not so much curved and framed glass such as in an automobile.

 

My dealer did it for me FREE!!!!!! Because the F***ed-Up my mini order!

 

I did mine. It was a breeze.
Proper prep and "distilled" water is the key
