Its not especially when the slightest speck of dust stands out like sore thumb. 
Get it done professionally.

i tried doing it to my cinq, i did the two rear side windows....not a good idea and never again! turned out a disaster, it looked good from a far but was far from good! theres a place near me that does it for £25 a window, for what it costs it saves alot of hastle!

Apart from lots of experience, the pros also have a clean building to work in.
I tried tinting windows in a Punto I had years ago, I think I actually bought the kit from Dave. It's virtually impossible to get an decent finish. If you do it yourself you will have air bubbles, dirt and lumps. Mine looked crap.
you can do the tinting, DIY style and get descent results, but it takes an awful lot of time to get them right. I have some small bubbles on the rear window, not too noticable though.
If you get a plastic squeege in the tinting kit, make sure you cover it in a lint free cloth to avoid scratching the tints

something ive never tried to do but isnt it down to plenty of water and a cool hand to stroke all the air out?
i bought some diy tints and my mate that works in a decal place did it for me for free, after seeing him doing it i would not recommend a novice trying it.
