Styling People's tinting disasters??

[JordanM12]

Today I attempted to tint my rear windows on punto mk2. It went completely wrong and 45quid went down the drain.

Just wanting to know other people's tinting stories and tips??

not had any
but just interested what u was doing?

 

[JordanM12]

trusted my mate with the job and it didnt work out to plan. Took the clear side off and placed it onto the glass which had the soapy solution on then attempted to 'squigee' bubbles etc

oooo i see i was thinking of getting the tint stuff and trying myself but a few people on here said it was quite hard to get it looking professional,so i decided not to do it

 

[JordanM12]

yeah best not to mate. It's harder than you think, I thought it would be relatively easy. I really want to get it done but I don't know what to do. I don't want to fork out for it professionally

I once tried to do a Merc Vito van back window. Needless to say it never did get a mirror window.

even though cost slightly more a pro be better to do it because if they F it up then then have to redo it

if you F it up u gotta keeep spending more money

im gonna get it done soon by a professional along with my other plans with car lol

I think comfortably it'll will take 16's but at a push it will take some 17's although i think theres some work involved in that

hope this helps

How did a DIY job cost you £45?

I managed to tint my rear windows fine (in my opinion) and cost me about £5.
