ok so over the weekend i decided to tint my windows lol. well in the state of delaware the law is that your allowed any darkness on the back side windows and rear winshield. so those are the only ones i did for just now lol. which i put 5% on. so at night its dark as hell in the car lol. but here soon i think im gonna put 5% on the front 2 windows and put a 5% brow on the winshield lol.

the rear winshield turned out like crap only because i did it myself with no help. its not too bad but eventually im gonna take it down and redo it with somebody else there to help lol.

did you shrink the tint on the outside of the glass before you put it inside the car? and use lots of soapy water( JOY dish soap) and a good spray bollte.

wat ya mean by shrink the tint? didnt know u could do that lol. i bought a tint kit that came with a bottle of tint applicator spray, a squeege, a no lint cloth, a utility blade and a dvd on how to apply tint lol. if someone could explain how to shrink the tint would be appreciated so i can redo it this weekend lol

You cut the tint to the size you need for the rear glass w/ about 2-3 inches of extra on top and bottom and sides.use a heat gun to shirnk it to fit the contour using the card in your kit and regular soapy water works great, you dont need their tint lubricant spray, its probably just soap anyways....... its kinda almost an art to shrink it to fit the contour of the glass. if you look at the rear glass its not flat it has some curve to it. i have watched my tint guy do it a million times and he is super good at it. and i dont think it is something i can explain, you really have to see it done to get a grasp on it. the video didnt talk about shrinking it? then how do they suggest you make it fit the contours of curved glass do they say use multiple pieces of tint?
sorry man i am not much help on the subject i have just seen it done. if you figure out how to do it you might want some extra for when you mess up.
how much did you pay for the kit?????

well i dont have a heat gun lol. where do i get one and how much are they? i got the kit at walmart for like 10 dollars.

i was thinking about maybe puttin 20-25% on the front windows. cause thats not too bad lol. i want it to be so you cant see in the car lol
