Window Tinting

Hi all

was thinkng about getting the beast tinted windows for xmas and will be over in the Gatwick area late November can any one recomend a good but cheap ish tinting service as they want £550 notes to tint on Jersey and thats just stupid money.

Will be in Banstead surrey if any one lives nearby would be nice to have a pint and a chat.

I got me old P38 done fer £120 ....Rear windows 65% fronts 10% ....(Mine WAS black so it made it look 100000 times better ....Then I sold it !!!.....D'oh!!

i got all the rear ones of mine done for 180, its green but makes it look loads better

buy the tint and fit it yourself probably won't get any cheaper than that mate

Where was that and how long ago. Want mine doing but was quoted £250 minimum. Thought about doing them myself but its not my thing, will be full of air bubbles, won't meet the edges and will probably start peeling within a week.

ohh shame you dont live nr n wales guy up here do disco for £120 all in......

If you take your time and use plenty of applicator fluid (ie washing up liquid and water) it's easy. Takes about 15 minutes a window and costs about £30 for a car.

I do vinyl cut signs on the side and the vinyl supplier sell window tint, £10 per metre, 610mm wide.
I'll have to youtube it for destructions.

Pity you did not put the off cuts on the o/s tyres to make it sit straight.

dont bother trying to do it yourself!!! i tried it before it was like the hardest thing ever i got so frustrated and wasted loads of money on a stupid kit.

its not that hard to do, just be patient with it and do it indoors if possable and fit the film 2mm inside the glass edge and then seal with clear nail varnish to stop it peeling. have always done mine and never had a problem although i did my disco outside on a windy day DOH!!! :doh: and just road dust on the film. :doh:

That nail varnish is a great tip! Does it go on smoothly or all streaky?

if you mean the varnish it will depend on how much you apply i.e. use loads, goes on thick and lumpy - use lighty goes on great and hardly noticable
