I want Tints, anyone want to do mine lol

[ep82]

I think I need some tints on the bus. I have been thinking in buying some tinting film on ebay and tint it myself.

Has anyone tinted their own bus?? How hard is it? or is it best to leave it to the pro's?

I have found some tint films on ebay for about £9 for 3M is that a good price? or are they cheap and tacky? They also have a tinting video tutorial on their site which was very helpful.

Is there any trusted/good seller I should use?

Or is there anyone who lives fairly close and know what they are doing and want to earn some money?

We tinted ReMix's windows, all but one is easy, the rear window has such a bad curve going both ways its so hard to do, btu i will not let it get me, i will try again lol

Yeah thats the Vid I saw on ebay. but his one was 1 7mins odd vid.
Do you think I will need to buy the solution?? or is it just soapy water? like fairy liquid?

[~Pink~Lou~]

we used soapy water in a squirty bottle and the little scraper thing that comes with the tint, dont cut it to shape til you have it all right and then use the craft knife that normally comes with it or can get them cheap from diy shops

If you watch those vids they apply them to the outside first to get the shape and then reapply to the inside.

As for the rear window, do it in 7 strips side to side.

Ive heard some places use a hair dryer to shrink the film to the curves, im Sure thats how the company who who fitted Cader's did it.

Well that's interesting. Mrs C said she was going to do it.

Wait 'til I see her
