Diy Window Tint Film

[kanarnthan]

Anyone ever used DIY window tint film. Is it worth doing or does the result look tacky?

Was thinking seeing as its about £10 a roll i might as well give it a go..... or shall i just do it professionally?

[Chappers]

In a word - no.. Haven't seen anyone that has managed to pull it off yet. Even the pro's screw up.. Tough job.

May as well try one window eh?

It's a bugger to get all the bubbles out, but worth trying for £10 a roll

Seen it.. looked tacky... and after a while it flaked and peeled off But i suppose at 10 quid a roll it could be worth trying 1 window to see how you get on.

[kanarnthan]

so what kinda price r we looking at if its done professionally....thinking medium on back windows and light on the front....

[cfc1]

I paid 225 quid for light smoke all round.

[armoredfist2002]

I think it's between £150 and £300, shop around a bit,

I'm going to be getting tints on my car sometime this year, I think i'll have mine done by the pro's,

[Blue84]

Nah I'd say get it done professionally too - especially for something like that!

[Chuck04]

not the easiest of jobs and if u do, take window out!! only seen one person who didnt screw it up, but never seen up close and was dark haha

i got light smoke all round done pro for 160!

No.

get a roll.

do one window yourself.

post lots of pics here.

then we can point to this thread everytime someone asks if they should try tinting their windows themselves :D

[vladrulli]

doing the side-windows is no problem... just find a good and well detailed DIY guide on the net... the rear window should be left to the professionals though - more difficult because of the heater... ;)

i phoned pentagon a few weeks ago to get a quote and the told me £170. but i forgot to ask if that included the front windows as well

[admanirv]

i wouldnt even bother, you have curved windows in abck to compete with, now imagine putting a a4 peice of paper round a rugby ball - creases appear

B) theres allways bubbles and creases

c) you can get hairs and other bits stuck on it.

d) hassel with takin widnows, cutting to right size.

i got a professional job down it was £160 all round, and it was a fantantasic very impressed.

hubble, bubble, boil and trouble...

bubble bobble (anyone remember than?)

Bubbles the monkey (did Jacko ever spank it I wonder?)

Bubbly versatile...

[ricomr2]

I've used it loads, the film is quite good quality but not as good as the pro stuff

It takes a lot of patience to do but i'd never done it before when i tried it and it turned out ok!

Give it a bash!

[dannyb999]

i had a so called professional job done too, and even they messed it up!!! car ended up in their about 5 times!!!!

[admanirv]

bubble bobble - haha yeah remember a class games with really ****ty graphics! played it on a sega master system

[Ryan1985]

1 word: Pentagon :D

[clarky]

I watched the guy that did mine ... looks easy enough, but I've seen some horrors that people have done themselves ...

Up to u
