So i'm a gm tech by day, but i tint cars in the evenings and weekends. I recently closed my shop and started working from my garage at my house, (The tint shack, lol...) It's been going really well and no big shop overhead... Been taking pictures of some of the cars i've done in the last few weeks. Here ya gooo... Did my first new camaro this evening... I'll let the pics tell the rest...





















This thread is pretty much pointless, just thought i would share some pics of my work with my friends at css.net and establish myself as the tint guy, lol... Thanks for looking... Sorry mods for wasteing bandwidth...

So you tint cars in your garage? How many attempts did it take you to get it down perfectly?

Thanks man, here's an SRT caliber i did a few month ago...

Alot, lol... I've tinted a couple thousand cars. It was quite a learning curve, lol... I had already established myself with my storefront shops so getting customers to come to my home hasn't been to hard...

Looks like good work man. That camaro looks like it has no windows.

Well you look like you do very good work. Is there anything you can do to make the tint look better on the top of the rear window in the balts. Mine didn't stick to the black bumps at the top.

Thanks

Yes, actually i can make them look just like the rest of the glass, it's really in the preperation technique. But don't get too upset with your tinter, it's really not his fault that gm is in love with dots. They do make for some extra work, but i have pretty much perfected my technique with this problem and don't have to many issues anymore...

As for your current situation, once it's tinted and dried like that, there's really no way to repair it or make it look better. It has to be redone and properly prepped to make it actually stick...

Here's a pic of my cobalt and i wouldn't say it's perfect, but pretty good. I've actually gotten even better with them since i did mine, but i have'nt got around to redoing mine yet, lol...

I have been looking for some good tint myself. Any suggestions?

It doesn't really bother me on the outside because it is somewhat hard to tell. I didn't like the other day when I was driving around with my windows down my rear tint was flapping.

Professional quality film. I like suntek, but most pro shops offer quality tint, just stay away from autoparts store or walmart tint!!!
FLAPPING??? WTF???
Didn't you get a warranty with it? Take that **** back tell em you want it fixed, jees!!! Lol...

Yea the top of the tint came out from under the headliner. I tucked it back in and it hasn't bothered for a week now. If any more problems I will get it redone. Every cobalt I have seen tinted has the same problems with the top so I don't think there is much I can do.

looks good. Wish when I did mine it would look that good. How do you keep it from peeling around the top? Do you leave the window rolled down and let the tint sit before you roll them back up, because after tinting mine I roll it up and it shoves it down some.

Looks good! How do you deal with the little dots at the top of the back window? I had mine done and it looks horrible. Is there anything that can be done that actually looks good?

b_faulk75

Quality tint should take care of that, it also has to be cut and installed properly.
I can deal with them no problem, it's all in how the tinter does it, it has to be shrank properly, then the dot area must be extremely clean, i even will use heat on the real stubborn ones...

Ahh I thought it was futile. I guess I just need to find a new tinter.

Few more pics...

any suggestions on good brands to go with that you can purchase without having a tinters license or whatever you need for that suntek stuff?

nice job man, where from WV are you from? im kinda in the same situation with my car detailing business so i feel ya...

nice job
that white balt is hot

I don't know what you could buy besides cheap stuff. You may be able to go to your local tint shop and ask if you could purchase enough film to do your car with. Sometimes they will sell it to you... You could also try ebay, sometimes you can purchase precut tint kits in quality brand films.
I will tell you this, if you think you can purchase pro film and install it without any previous experience installing tint and have a good outcome, you are most likely wrong...Tintin aint easy, lol...
You wouldn't believe how many people around me buy precut tint and and try to install it, only to bring the car to me to have me do it over again, and their kit goes to waste cause i won't install anything but my tint, lol...
