NightSpirit Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 hate to state the obvious but I tinted my own windows...piece of piss...tinted my car, several friends cars (charged 'em though! lol)If you get the tint you want and tell me what you want tinting, I'm sure we could work something out. The rear 1/4s are piss easy to do, the rear screen is slightly more tricky I just removed the bootlid and tinted the fecker in the bath. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mikey Jay Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Right, that's it, you're tinting my windows for me when me and Riko come over Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rich Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 I need mine done sometime, can't have a white car with seethrough windows now can we... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NightSpirit Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Mikey mate, you get the tint and we'll talk As I said before, the rear 1/4s are simple to do (especially on the 82 where you can just remove the glass and tint off the car. The rear screen is harder to do as you need to cut it in 2 or 3 sections to match the gay curvature of the glass. If I had a very clean environment to do it in, we'd be laughing...sadly round our house we have 8,000,000 pets (the wife is a vet) so hair gets frickin everywhere...I coughed up a furball last week, I shit you not Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mikey Jay Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 You coughed up a furball......you lick your pets...? Might have to get some tint then Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The rear 1/4s are piss easy to do, the rear screen is slightly more tricky I just removed the bootlid and tinted the fecker in the bath.This offer sounds a bit good mite hav 2 take u up on it possibly Any idea how much the tint actually is to buy and where to get good stuff etc?

NightSpirit Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 I just buy tint off Ebay..forget the seller now but it's not expensive.I'm very happy to tint your rear 1/4s and even front windows...not so keen on the rear screen though as it's really easy to get contaminents in there while you're doing it. Why not try it yourself? it's the only way to learn these things Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Glanza_Ragger Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Im assuming youre cutting the rear screen tint into 2 or 3 pieces to get it to mould to screen contours? and using a heat gun to make them more pliable?I personally would rather get a pro to do it, as diy jobs allways look absolute w@nk.theres a technique to tinting, and with all things, if you dont do it day in, day out.. you dont have the skill to make the job look quality.Just my 2pence bud, not saying youre works shabby, id just rather get a pro to come round and do them, and also the tint film you buy off fleabay is uber thin.Its useless, and it stains from the uv rays.Hence why the pros use heatguns, because they use alot thicker tinting films.

NightSpirit Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Hehe,I did cut the rear screen tint into 3, following the lines of the heat bars...and I did use a heatgun, it's impossible otherwise...trust me To be fair, it's worth the money to get it done right, and as Glanza Ragger said, it's not my job tinting but I don't mind helping people out if it saves em a few quid (tinting by a pro is a rip off imo) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
